Discharge systems for difficult bulk materials
Achieve seamless bulk material discharge with our advanced systems that efficiently tackle flow challenges, ensuring consistent feed and dosing precision in demanding production environments.

Ensures Consistent Discharge of Bulk Materials
The Vibration Bin Discharger “ExtraVib” Type EVK from Hosokawa Solids is engineered to tackle the complex task of consistent bulk material flow. With its mass flow principle, it prevents segregation and reduces clearance volumes, ideal for ensuring high load capabilities in storage silos. Designed for industries ranging from chemicals to food and pharmaceuticals, it supports diverse applications such as pigment production, cathode material handling for batteries, and granulated sugar processing. The EVK model’s vibration technology promotes even discharge and dosing accuracy, crucial for continuous operations. Constructed in various configurations, including hygienic designs, it complies with industry standards for cleanliness and efficiency. Available in corrosion-resistant materials, its robust design proves essential for demanding environments with options for custom engineering to fit specific process needs.
