Mucon Discharge Aids Problems of material flow from storage bins, silos, hoppers etc should not be underestimated. 'Bridging' or 'Rat-Holing' for example, usually occur in the lower region of the hopper. This is because the area near the outlet for most hoppers decreases dramatically, restricting the area for material to flow and causing compaction. As a consequence, getting material to flow often requires various efforts to achieve. Meanwhile, productivity, production, time, money and effort are all lost trying to get material flowing through Factors that affect the flow properties of dry...

Promoflow Discharge Aids Promoflow Discharge Aids vibrate the product inside the hopper or silo, but not the structure itself. This prevents the fatigue factors commonly associated with other vibrating discharge solutions. The custom made internally mounted screens are specially designed to transmit vibration directly into the product, preventing material bridging, rat-holing or segregation during discharge. The installation of a Promoflow discharge system will promote the flow of any product which is normally capable of flow, but which needs occasional or frequent help to get started or to...

Promoflow Discharge Aids Control Systems Promoflow discharge systems should only be operated when the product is able to flow out of the silo at a rate greater than the feed rate induced by the vibrating Some products only require an initial 'nudge' after standing inactive for long periods of time. Other products may require greater assistance to promote flow for example, after a period of damp weather. In addition, there are many products and hopper situations, which require continuous or frequent product agitation to keep material flowing. Accordingly two basic control packages are...

Vibrator Discharge Aids Because of their ultra low noise and high degree of application reliability, the ATU Turbine Vibrator is ideal for internal plant environments or where a low noise solution to your material flow problem is required. By imparting vibration through the hopper wall, the ATU Turbine Vibrator helps to promote product flow. Applications are varied and include food processing, chemical, plastic processing, foundries and many more. Product Features & Benefits Excellent power to weight ratio Easily interchanged with similar competitor products Durable finish, anodized...

Vibrator Discharge Aids Hints on Model Selection It is recommended that the vibrator is selected on the basis of material weight in the tapered or conical section of the hopper or bin, in conjunction with the material bulk density. The selection chart below can be 1. Trace a line vertically from the horizontal axis relative to the weight of material 2. Where the line intersects the appropriate coloured series (based on the material bulk density) trace a line horizontally to the vertical axis 3. Where this line intersects the vertical axis read off the vibrator force required Please note...
