FLOMASTER CIRCULAR BIN DISCHARGER

The FloMaster Circular Bin Discharger is a well proven and established positive discharge aid for hoppers and silos where the material to be handled has characteristics that make it difficult to discharge or control. A rotating arch breaker arm travels around the hopper bottom section of the silo breaking any bridge of material which may have formed. This ensures a flow of material to the discharger that can be supplied as a single, two or three stage unit to suit the characteristics of the material to be handled and the throughputs required. The standard range comprises two sizes: 32 inches and 40 inches diameter.

Besides functioning as a bin discharger, the FloMaster can be used to maintain a head of normalized material in the outlet chute, thus assisting the accuracy of subsequent metering or weighing equipment. Material in excess of the take away rate is recycled.

The FloMaster is driven by a single drive controlling the rotation of both the discharger and arch breaker arm. Actual drive arrangements vary according to the application or customer requirements.

  • POSITIVE DISCHARGE
    Archbreaker arm is immersed within the material to be discharged promoting positive flow.

  • COMPACT
    The CBD forms an integral part of the silo and occupies minimal space.

  • VERSATILE
    Can control the discharge of non free flowing materials and those subject to fluidization.

  • COST EFFECTIVE
    Simple design ensures cost effective solution to discharge problems.

  • SAFE
    All moving parts are totally enclosed.

  • MINIMAL WEAR
    Machines operate at slow speeds for long life.

  • QUIET
    Operation is virtually silent making the unit environmentally acceptable.

  • EASILY MAINTAINED
    Main shaft assembly removed from below.

  • UNIQUE
    The FloMaster is unique to the Schenck Process Group and has been proven over 50 years.

  • TOTALLY ENCLOSED
    Unit is totally enclosed ensuring dust tight operation.


CONFIGURATIONS
SINGLE STAGE CIRCULAR BIN DISCHARGER
The simplest form of the FloMaster for freely discharging materials which have a tendency to arch or bridge. The output is dependent upon the flow or break away rate of material due to the action of the arch breaker and the speed of the FloMaster. Capacities up to 200TPH have been achieved with certain materials.
TWO STAGE CIRCULAR BIN DISCHARGER
A second stage can be added to bring the material flow rate under control. Material leaves the first stage to be contained by flights in the second stage prior to discharge through a single outlet port. Volumetric discharge within a reasonable degree of accuracy is possible for many materials.
THREE STAGE CIRCULAR BIN DISCHARGER
Materials which are prone to fluidize and flow uncontrollably can be brought under control and discharged consistently through a three stage unit. The addition of a third stage creates a form of labyrinth to contain and control the flow prior to discharge. Typical applications would include cement, fly ash and plaster.
