Bin Activators
Bin Activators are used in several industrial applications to efficiently discharge dry solid materials in powder or granular form from upstream equipment, thereby, reducing bulk material bridging or ratholing while promoting mass flow.
The bin activator functions on the principle of convergence in relation to its shape – cone. The bulk solid material moves from a larger diameter inlet to a smaller diameter outlet of the bin activator when discharging the bulk material from upstream equipment (silo, bin etc.,) to downstream equipment (feeder, container etc.). During operation, mild vibrations of the bin activator generated by the synchronised vibrator and motor are transmitted to the dry solid material inside the silo resulting in fluent material flow through the bin activator into the connected unit. The system’s vibration levels can be easily adjusted. The motor is housed in a single seal enclosure with no belts to slip or break. The single seal enclosure ensures that there is no oil leakage, hence, preventing material contamination. Positive discharge is attained if the outlet is large enough and there is no downstream equipment to impede the flow of the bulk material. In addition to the outlet being large enough, a secondary baffle can be utilised. The secondary baffle helps prevent the jamming and compacting of the bulk material at the outlet.
Benefits of bin activators
bin activators are available in a vast range for handling various types of dry bulk materials stored in different vessels of different capacities. They render many advantages to the user industries. Some of the significant benefits our bin activators offer are:
- Complete resilience to the vibrating dish head provided by special spring suspensions.
- Flexible seal connections at the inlet and outlet to ensure safe connections.
- Excellent performance with low energy consumption.
- Easy to fit and low maintenance.
- High functioning efficiency.
- A housed motor in a single seal enclosure.
- Smooth discharge assurance.
