Surge bins for material handling
Ensure efficient material flow and storage in your production line with surge bins that feature a steep 60-degree slope, promoting seamless discharge of solids, powders, and granules.
Stores and Manages Bulk Material Efficiently
The Aluminum Surge Bins from Coperion K-Tron are engineered for seamless integration into your production line, addressing storage and material handling needs across various industries. With working volumes from 425 to 2125 liters, these bins facilitate the reliable storage of solids, powders, and granules for continuous operations. The design incorporates a steep 60-degree slope for optimized material flow, essential in preventing blockages. Enhanced with quick release hold-down straps and an internally-filtered vent, they ensure secure lid fitting and effective ventilation. Ideal for applications ranging from polyethylene pellets to pharmaceutical tablets, the bins are constructed from durable aluminum with steel support legs, ensuring longevity and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Compatible with Coperion K-Tron’s Series II 2400 receivers, these units are easily integrated with existing material handling systems, providing a streamlined approach to pre-processing and processing departments.
