Feed bins for pre-conditioning materials

Pre-Conditions and Conveys Solids and Powders

The P-Series Feed Bins from Coperion K-Tron are meticulously engineered for seamless integration into your production line, optimizing material handling in continuous, manual, and automated operations. Constructed from 316L stainless steel, they offer excellent corrosion resistance and are suitable for a diverse range of industries, including plastics, chemicals, food, pet food, pharmaceuticals, minerals, and nonwovens. These bins eschew flow disruption with fully fluidized sintered PORVAIR cones, ensuring smooth pre-conditioning and vacuum conveying of solids, powders, and granules. They include features such as aeration pads, vibrators, and level probes to maintain consistent material flow.

With options for 50- or 150-liter capacities, they efficiently buffer and convey materials like polyolefin pellets, ABS granules, catalyst powders, and protein powders, among others, reducing downtime during bulk bag changeovers. Dust collection is facilitated through vents compatible with central dust extraction systems, promoting a cleaner and safer work environment. The electropolished surface finish and crack-free design contribute to easy cleaning and maintenance, supporting compliance with FDA regulations where applicable. Available with ATEX category 3D or 2 GD rating, these feed bins ensure operational safety in hazardous environments, offering the reliability and adaptability critical for high-demand industrial applications.
