The PlanEx is WTW's largest discharging system for use on large diameter silos with material storage capacities of up to 10,000 tons. The PlanEx finds applications where total mass flow of materials has been difficult in the past. In typical silos, normal material flow characteristics will rat-hole, reducing available inventory. The PlanEx has been applied in power, cement, gypsum board, waste-handling industries, and for other non-free flowing materials. Available for silo diameters from 5 to 12 meters. WTW can even retrofit your silo with a PlanEx.
From a silo/bin (1) bulk material is conveyed via the discharge wheel (2) under the conical roof (3) to the discharge outlet (4). From here material is transported by conveyors or road / rail vehicles.
A rotating platform (5) supports the discharge wheel gearbox and associated drive system. This also provides access for maintenance purposes. The complete machine is housed within the conical roof, which is connected to the silo walls by means of 3 support arms (6). Personal can access the main drive systems through the support arm and out the Maintenance Port (7).
