BinEx (Rotary Bin Discharge)

Functional Description

The task of the central discharge unit BinEX is to extract wet, cohesive, sluggish or other non free flowing bulk material stored or buffered in bins or silos. The rotating discharge arm conveys the bulk material toward the opening in the center of the floor and discharges it through this opening. To prevent the bulk material from flowing out in an uncontrolled manner, the discharge opening is covered by an inner cone. The discharge arm passes underneath the inner cone and activates the entire silo bottom during the discharge operation. One revolution of this specially curved and profiled arm extracts a uniform disc of material from the silo. This keeps the bulk material column in motion and maintains its flow ability, preventing solidification of the bulk material over time and the risk of bridge formation inside the silo.
