Effectively Discharging Solid Materials from Storage Bins and Silos.
- Authors
Picone, Thomas
- Abstract
This article discusses the challenges and solutions associated with storing and discharging dry bulk powders from storage bins and silos. It covers common material-handling problems and explores different techniques and equipment that can be used to ensure reliable material flow. The article emphasizes the importance of careful material selection and design considerations. It concludes by discussing the advantages and limitations of different methods, such as bin activators, storage silo vibrators, aeration systems, and arch-breaker devices, for resolving material blockages. Each method has its advantages and considerations that need to be taken into account.
