Unloader for non-free-flowing materials in flat bottom silos
Facing challenges unloading non-free-flowing materials? This hydraulic system ensures smooth, efficient discharge in flat bottom silos, regardless of material type or density, while following a FIFO strategy for optimal inventory management.
Unloads and Sweeps Non-Free-Flowing Silo Materials
The Hydraugyre from Morillon Systems is a hydraulic silo screw unloader designed to tackle the challenge of discharging difficult, non-free-flowing materials stored in flat-bottom silos. Its unique system employs a hydraulic transmission that drives an Archimedes screw, enabling high torque at low speeds. This configuration achieves smooth, 360° sweeps of silo contents while supporting FIFO (first in, first out) unloading. The Booster start-up system allows operation from a full silo, irrespective of the screw’s initial position, enhancing operational flexibility.
Ideal for industries such as food processing, agriculture, chemical, and biomass, the Hydraugyre manages a wide array of materials—from wood pellets and grain to powdered chemicals and minerals. It supports silos ranging from 2 to 27 meters in diameter, with discharge capacities up to 600 cubic meters per hour, adapting to various operational demands.
The Hydraugyre is plug-and-play, making installation straightforward and space-efficient. In terms of material and environmental adaptability, options include ATEX certification for explosive atmospheres and designs for high-temperature conditions (up to 150°C). Additionally, it offers stainless steel construction and the use of food-grade or biodegradable lubricants as part of Morillon’s eco-friendly Green System.
Engineered for durability and reliability, the system provides ease of maintenance—even under full-load conditions—ensuring minimal production disruption. This solution seamlessly integrates into existing setups, offering a significant upgrade in efficiency and reliability for large-scale storage and material handling operations.
