Bin Activators eliminate bridging and ratholing, reduce particle segregation and promote mass flow. They are efficient, convenient and economical and attach to any bin or silo whether new or existing.

arrow3
BRIDGING
Where material that is being discharged forms a bridge or arch over the feed auger or discharge point in a silo cone/hopper.
RATHOLING
Product will only flow through a channel at the center of the hopper, and the rest of the product will stay on the sides, not moving.

BA consists of internal cone shaped baffle which is attached to the body rigidly by means of structural member. The unit is suspended by means of hanger bolts from the bottom of the hopper or silo

BA moves horizontally in response to centrifugal forces generated by unbalance weights of an attached vibrator. The cone baffle relieves the weight of the material from the lower section of the bin discharger and acts like a wedge and push the material down to all directions adjacent to the cone surface.

Internal Structure and Mounting

Bin Activator

Bin Activator (also called Bin Discharger) is a cone-shaped device fitted to the outlet of a bin, hopper, or silo. It uses a vibratory motor to impart controlled vibrations, promoting mass flow ensuring all material moves uniformly and preventing blockages like bridging, ratholing, and segregation.

Why Use a Bin Activator

  • Eliminates flow disruptions: Prevents arches and ratholes that stop material flow.
  • Promotes mass-flow behavior: Entire contents flow evenly, ensuring a first-in-first-out discharge.
  • Reduces segregation: Vibration minimizes separation of particle sizes or densities.
  • Easy Maintenance: Reliable, low-maintenance, and suitable for materials from powders to granules.

Options

  • Demountable Bottom Hopper

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Bin Discharger design consists Of internal cone shaped baffle which is attached to the body rigidly by means Of structural member, The unit is suspended by means Of hanger bolts from the top Of hopper or silo to which it is attached,

Bin Discharger moves horizontally in response to centrifugal forces generated by the unbalanced weights Of an attached vibrator. The cone baffle relieves the weight Of the material from the lower section Of the bin discharger and acts like a wedge as it moves beneath the material and pushes it in all directions adjacent to the cone surfaces. This powerful force is also transmitted to the material in the upper portion of the bin as the motion is carried from particle to particle.
