Live bin bottom for difficult material discharge

Efficiently manage the discharge of challenging materials like biological sludge and sawdust from hoppers or silos, ensuring consistent flow and preventing blockages in your production line operations.

Extracts and Feeds Challenging Bulk Materials

The Live Bin Bottoms MU from WAMGROUP provide an efficient solution for the continuous discharging and feeding of challenging bulk materials like biological and industrial sludges, paper scrap, and flour. Featuring a modular design with multiple screw feeders, they ensure consistent mass flow, minimizing material bridging and segregation in processing lines. Each unit can be configured with up to six helicoid flight screws housed in a carbon steel, stainless steel, or SINT polymer trough, catering to medium and heavy-duty operations. Used across various industries—from environmental technology to food processing—this equipment supports diverse applications such as biosolids management and animal feed production. Its modular sections and independent gear motor drives facilitate seamless integration and customization in existing systems. Furthermore, the robust build with self-cleaning capabilities, external flanged bearings, and adjustable gland seals reduces maintenance downtime, optimizing operational efficiency. With a diameter range of 150–600 mm and lengths from 1,500 to 4,000 mm, the Live Bin Bottoms MU are engineered to accommodate specific production requirements.
