Bin activator vibrating discharge cone

Overview

A vibrating discharge system that empties hard-to-flow powders and granules from silos evenly and without interruption.

Also called a silo vibrating bottom, the bin activator is mounted under the silo or hopper on flexible connections and driven by a vibrator motor.

With moist, sticky or caking materials it reduces bridging, rat-holing and packing, so material flows evenly across the full silo cross-section.

Where it is used

For food, chemical, plastics, cement, mining and building materials plants, to discharge poorly flowing, moist, fine or caking materials from silos and hoppers.

Key features

• Steady feed to screw conveyors, rotary valves and gates below by reducing bridging and blockages
• Internal baffle balances the material load and transfers vibration effectively into the material
• Sealed flexible sleeve helps prevent dust leaks and isolates vibration from the silo shell
• Shock-absorbing suspension with rubber and steel elements protects the silo structure
• Runs only during discharge, avoiding unnecessary energy use
• Connection design suited to silo and hopper outlets for easy retrofit
