CC Bin Activator

The Bin Activator is a device used to ensure controlled discharge of materials from silos and hoppers. It consists of a steel dish with a discharge cone and internal baffle cone attached. Vibrators are attached to induce vibration and mass flow of materials out of the silo. It is installed below the silo outlet and supported by suspension rods to isolate vibration. The Bin Activator comes in various sizes depending on the silo diameter and material properties to optimize discharge throughput.

The Bin Activator


controlled discharge of all materials is vital to modern process systems.
The Bin Activator is extensively used to ensure t h e product is discharged efficiently and effectively in a controlled manner from a silo or hopper. Many products do not flow freely and the Bin Activator, by applied vibration, ensures that the product, whether fibrous, granular, flake or fine particulate, is discharged in a mass flow condition. A Bin Activator consists of a spun steel dish onto which a discharge cone has been bolted. Across the dish are a number of welded crossmembers that support the internal baffle cone. A vibrator motor - two on some sizes - is bolted on the outside of the dish. The degree of vibration is adjustable by means of a pair of out-of balance weights situated at each end of the motor. The whole assembly is suspended beneath the outlet of the silo on a number of suspension rods located in rubber isolation mounts, to ensure that vibration is not transmitted up the silo walls. These rods are attached to the hopper of the silo via a support ring which is welded or in some cases bolted to the hopper. A rubber sleeve secured by clamps, seals the gap between the support ring and the Bin Activator assembly. The diameter of the internal baffle cone is smaller than that of the Activator. The resultant annular gap between the two is preset to give the flow of material required.
Mass Flow

important features
Continuous yet controlled flow. Mass flow is induced. Very low maintenance. Reduces silo height, saving space and costs. Eliminates problems such as rat-holing, bridging, degradation, segregation and flushing. 30,000 sold worldwide. Wide range of sizes and applications. Carolina Conveyings expertise in handling diverse and difficult materials ensures that the correct equipment is specified for your application.

installation
The Bin Activator is a preassembled, self contained unit which can easily be fitted to new or existing silos. The support ring supplied with each Activator is welded, or bolted, to the hopper outlet. The Activator is then suspended from the ring by the suspension rods and the flexible sleeve is fitted between the ring and the Bin Activator ensuring dust-tight operation.

size selection
The size of the Bin Activator is determined by many parameters including - the size of the silo, the material characteristics and the discharge throughput required. This can vary between 1 /3 of the diameter of the silo, for free flowing materials, to the same diameter for fibrous or flaky materials. Other parameters are also considered in order to optimize the specification. The Carolina Conveying Sales Engineer has at his disposal a computer program which will calculate the headload acting upon the Bin Activator. The Bin Activator is ideally suited to a cylindrical hopper, but it can be successfully applied to square or rectangular bins.
