Silo Bin Activator

Silo Bin Activator

Indpro's bin activator is designed to overcome all discharge flow related problems such as bridging, blockages, segregation and core-flow. Bin activator is a device which consists of a tapered conical geometry that facilitates material flow from silos or hoppers by inducing motion through vibrations. Product rested on the bin activator has a uniform residence time which follows the principle of first in first out. A flange supplied with the bin activator is welded or bolted to the silo outlet cone on site. Special suspensions links and engineered polymer seal form a flexible connection between silo and bin activator. A vibratory motor is fitted on the unit which generates vibrations in the bin activator every time the feeding device beneath the silo starts feeding material.

During operation the mechanical bin activator describes a gyratory movement which is transmitted to the material inside the silo. The result is smooth material flow through the bin activator outlet into the connected feeder. Our bin activator ensures no contamination or residence of product.
