Discharge systems for difficult bulk materials
Industries dealing with materials that do not flow freely from silos and containers face challenges in ensuring smooth discharge. These bulk materials often require additional mechanisms to facilitate flow, preventing blockages and ensuring consistent output.
Ensure smooth discharge from silos
The range of discharging systems by Hosokawa Alpine addresses the issues of handling difficult bulk materials. These solutions include vibration, aeration, and mechanical agitation designed to suit specific product characteristics and operating conditions. The systems are categorized into four types: Solids Basic, Solids Clean, Solids Hygienic, and Solids Heavy, each designed to meet varying operational needs and standards. For example, the ‘ExtraVib’ vibration bin dischargers ensure mass flow discharge, reducing clearance volumes and segregation, thus supporting high load capacities and consistent flow. Additionally, aeration systems like the FLC type provide gentle discharge and homogenization of fluidizable powders. These systems are essential in industries such as chemicals, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, where material consistency and hygiene are critical.
