Bin Dischargers

Bin Dischargers

Bin Dischargers eliminate hopper flow problems including Bridging and Ratholing by using vibratory action to improve bin flow and easily discharge virtually any material.

Bridging

A no-flow condition in which the pressure of the stored material on itself results in a "bridge" or "arch" formation in the bin or the hopper section of the bin.

Ratholing

A condition in which the stored material does not slough into the central flow stream for discharge and instead forms a core. Problems associated with ratholing include flooding, substantial variation of density in product, and eventually, no-flow.

Eliminate Bridging and Ratholing

A bin discharger increases the effective hopper outlet size and reduces the hopper depth which reduces pressure against the hopper walls.

Maximize Hopper Volume

With identical elevations and bin diameters, a 60 degree bin with a 5 foot bin discharger provides 130% more hopper volume than a 70 degree mass flow bin design.
