The core function of the silo is a crucial device in industrial production for storing and buffering materials and bridging the supply and demand, ensuring continuous and stable production. However, silos always encounter the problem of difficult material discharge, which may be caused by phenomena such as rat holes, stratification, bridging, arching, and wall adhesion. The discharge bin activator is the best solution to the problem of difficult material discharge from silos.

The bin activator, also known as the vibrating bottom and activated hopper, is a conical device that uses motor vibration to promote the flow of materials in the silo and ensure smooth material discharge. The structure of the bin activator is very simple, and it is reasonably priced yet highly effective. It can easily solve common problems during silo discharge such as rat holes and bridging mentioned above, helping manufacturers in industries such as food, chemical engineering, and building materials to increase the silo discharge speed and improve production efficiency.

The core working principle of the bin activator is to solve the problem of difficult material discharge from silos at the root through the dual effects of "vibration activation + auxiliary material discharge". When the vibrating motor generates directional vibration, it directly acts on the material layer at the bottom of the silo, breaking the adsorption force and internal friction between the materials. It destroys the structures of "bridging" and "arching" of the materials, allowing the originally caked and adhered materials to return to a loose state. At the same time, the vibration forms a downward thrust. Coupled with the conical structure of the hopper, it guides the materials to flow evenly along the discharge port.

How does the bin activator address different material blocking situations?

1. "Bridging": High-frequency or low-frequency vibration directly impacts the supporting points of the bridged materials, causing the "bridge" to collapse instantly and preventing the materials from hanging in the air and causing blockages.

2. "Clinging": The vibration is transmitted to the materials near the inner wall of the silo, reducing the adhesion force between the materials and the silo wall and preventing the materials from adhering and piling up.

3. "Caking": The impact force generated by the vibration breaks up the caked materials. Then, through the diversion design of the hopper, it ensures that the materials are discharged in a loose state.

4. "Uneven discharge": The continuous and stable vibration provides uniform power. Coupled with the adjustment structure at the discharge port, it controls the output speed and flow rate of the materials.

The bin activator is applied in multiple industries, mainly including: grain processing, chemical engineering, building materials, new energy, medicine, food, metallurgy, rubber and plastics, etc. For example, in flour processing, the core function of the grain processing flour bin activator installed at the bottom of the flour storage bin is to ensure smooth material discharge and stable process flow. It breaks the common problems of bridging, caking, and wall adhesion of flour through vibration, preventing interruption of material discharge. At the same time, the vibration intensity can be adjusted to accurately control the amount of discharged materials, preventing particle size segregation of flour to meet the requirements of subsequent processing. It is made of food-grade materials with a sealed design, which can prevent dust from spreading and material contamination. It can also be directly connected to conveying equipment, featuring easy installation and low noise. It can adapt to different layouts of silos and processing equipment, efficiently connecting the storage and subsequent processing links.
