Rotary Table Discharger System

Rotary Table Discharger consists of a circular table that can rotate underneath a large opening at a speed of up to 10 rpm. Material flowing from the silo is discharged by a fixed blade/plow.

One critical point to remember is the skirt design around the table and the outlet should be gradually increasing from the discharge point to draw the solids evenly. This skirt is raised above the table in a helical pattern to provide increased capacity in the direction of rotation.

Such dischargers are suitable for very fine or sticky solids and provide a low flow rate from very large openings. Drawbacks are the high installation costs and usually a dead mass at the center of the unit, often occupying up to 40 -50% of the area.
