Feed bins for pre-conditioning materials
In high-volume manufacturing environments, ensuring optimal material preparation before the vacuum conveying process can prevent operational bottlenecks. Understanding how to buffer materials effectively during big bag change-overs or other transitional phases is critical to maintaining consistent workflow.
Buffer and prepare materials for vacuum conveying
The Coperion K-Tron P-Series Feed Bin is designed to pre-condition materials for vacuum conveying. It is typically used under bulk bag unloading stations, providing a buffer during big bag change-overs or adjacent processes. Constructed from 316L stainless steel, it ensures easy cleanup and durability. The modular structure allows for upgrading to a bag dump station, featuring dust hoods with vents adaptable to central dust collection systems. A fully fluidized cone eliminates potential flow issues, while aeration pads and vibrators aid material handling. This feed bin supports various industries, including plastics, chemicals, food and pet food, pharmaceuticals, and minerals.
