Component

Discharge Component

Applications

Discharge system for flowing bulk materials (previous fields of application are wood and sludge)

Technical Data

  • Silo diameters up to 7 m
  • Discharge capacity up to 500 m³/h

Design Characteristics

The pivoting wheel has star-shaped arms and is installed in the centre of the flat silo bottom via a lever construction. It consists of a welded/bolted construction with a hydraulic drive. Two hydraulic cylinders assembled below the silo bottom make the pivoting wheel oscillate.

The special design of the arms feeds the bulk material to the discharge screw when the wheel is oscillated by the hydraulic cylinders.
