LOADING SOLUTIONS
The Vortex® Aero Bin™ Bottom is attached to the bottom of flat- or conical-shaped silos and hoppers; in particular, storage silos with especially large diameter.
How it works: As materials begin to discharge through the silo outlet, a fan or blower injects low pressure, dry air (typically 6 psig | 41 kPa) upward into the silo via the aeration bed. As pneumatic pressures permeate the silo, the materials handled become fluidized. This encourages a consistent, continuous discharge of materials, in order to prevent bridging, rat holing and other discharge inefficiencies. Because materials are air-gravity discharged, the Aero-Bin Bottom is among the most cost-effective solutions for discharging lightweight, fluidizable dry bulk solid powders.
Full bore silo outlet
Simple installation under bins, silos and hoppers
Reduced wear and prolonged service life
Low energy consumption using a single power source
Electricity to power the fan or blower. No plant air required.
Reduces an existing silo’s overall height to allow more equipment to fit beneath it
Inlet ports with ball valves to adjust the amount of air being injected into the bin bottom.
Inlet ports are located beneath the bin bottom
No moving parts –for operator safety, reduced wear and prolonged service life
Low maintenance requirements
