Bunker Walls

The base of the trench silo or roll over pile is usually dirt, but sometimes asphalt or cement is used. We can install bunker panels next to a slab, or on top. Feeders tired of using silage bags are great cement wall prospects. These ranchers are fed up with mud and paying every year for the silage bags.

Considerations in Belt Feeder Design & Operation

Factors to Consider in Belt Feeder Design. Several factors influence belt feeder operation and reliability: Head Load. Head load is the single most important factor in belt feeder design. The head load is the amount of pressure put on the belt directly under the hopper opening as a result of the weight of the material resting on the belt.

(PDF) Ten steps to an effective bin design

Belt feeders. Like screws, belt feeders can be a good choice for an elongated hopper outlet. Belt feeders are useful for handling cohesive or coarse bulk solids that require a high discharge rate. Since the idlers of a belt feeder can be mounted on load cells, a belt feeder can also be used to weigh the solids being fed (i.e., gravimetric ...

Discharge of Bulk Solids

Discharge devices are well known devices as, for example, belt feeders, apron feeders, en-masse feeders, vibratory feeders, rotary valves, and screw feeders being attached to the outlet of a silo. Shut-off devices (e.g., slide gates, clamshell gates) can also be regarded as discharge devices since they allow a certain (often poor and ...
