Bin Activator BA-310

1 Description
The BA Bin Activator is a device of tapered conical shape
that due to vibration facilitates material flow from hoppers
or silos. It consists of a seamless carbon or stainless steel
cone manufactured on a sheet metal lathe, a seamless
SINT® engineering polymer seal with integrated upper and
lower flange, suspensions for connection of the Bin Activator
with the silo, as well as one or two electric vibrators.

Function
One or two electric vibrators fitted to the unit generate vibration of the Bin Activator every time the feeding device beneath the silo is
started for material extraction. During operation the Bin Activator describes a gyratory movement which is transmitted to the mate-
rial inside the silo. The result is smooth material flow through the Bin Activator outlet into the connected feeder.

BA-0310 Bin Activators are used in various applications in plastics processing to facilitate discharging of powdery materials from silos

or hoppers. The use of this equipment ensures optimum feeding of the material causing “mass flow” inside the silo, thus avoiding
bridging or rat holing phenomena.

Applications
Discharging of a variety of powders.

DS.310.BA.EN.December 2012.R01
Usually fitted in large numbers under the raw material storage silos
or daily buffer silos/hoppers to discharge poorly flowing powders
such as calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, resins, a number of
oxides, carbon black, talcum powder etc.

The BA outlet is usually shut off by a rotary valve, slide valve or

butterfly valve which is connected with a mechanical or pneumatic
conveying device.

Benefits

 No material residue thanks to appropriate design features;

 No material contamination thanks to stainless steel contact parts;
 High discharging performance;
 Total operator safety according to ATEX directive;
 Reduced maintenance thanks to long-life seal material.
