Common Discharge Problems in Dry Material Storage: Rat-Holing, Bridging, Degradation, and Segregation.
Mass Flow Material discharges in a first in / first out basis. The Bin Activator eliminates degradation, segregation, flushing, and bridging, and insures complete discharge.
Not only does the Bin Activator eliminate degradation and segregation, but the vibration tends to deaerated the product and produce an even bulk density. This can be very important when you are trying to meter the product downstream. Other discharge aids, such as air cannons, actually have the opposite effect and aerate the product to the point where flushing can occur.
Controlled Discharge Rate By increasing or decreasing the diameter of the internal cone, we can control the internal annular gap and hence control the product flow rate. For low throughputs, the bin activator has to be cycled off and on.
