It is also referred to as a vibration cone, vibro-cone, rotoflow, or bin activator. It ensures the flow of material from the silo through vibration.
It is also called a vibration cone, vibro-cone, rotoflow, or bin activator. It ensures the flow of material from the silo through vibration. It specifically facilitates the discharge of fine powder or granular materials that have difficulty flowing from the silo.
It enables the easy discharge of powder or granular materials with low fluidity, or those that are sticky, moist, or prone to bridging, from silos or bunkers.
The vibration cone (vibration cone, silo activator, bin activator) provides fluidity by releasing the material inside the silo or bunker from its compacted state. This product, also known as a vibro-cone silo discharger, is connected to the conical section at the bottom of the silo via a flanged connection. The vibromotor located on it vibrates the material inside the vibration cone (flour, bran, lime, cement, calcite, ash, gypsum, starch, etc.), causing it to move and flow.
Thanks to the damping system of the vibration cone, vibration is prevented from transferring to the main construction of the raw material silo. Thus, the fluidization movement remains within the vibration cone, and the fixed parts are not damaged by the vibration effect. The suspension system is provided by both springs and a polyurethane damper that surrounds the upper part of the silo discharger. Since the material descends with a rotating movement within the vibration cone due to vibration, it provides a smoother descent to feeders such as rotary valves, screw conveyors, or valves connected under the vibration cone. The vibration cone is a very useful solution for many raw materials and semi-finished products in both powder and granular forms. The use of a vibration cone prevents the material inside the silo from clumping or collapsing suddenly.
