These units are fitted below cylindrical flat bottom silos for effective discharge of bulk material into downstream equipment. A rotating two-blade sweep arm sweeps the material to an off-centre outlet of the unit and the material is discharged through an integral rotary feeder. Available in various sizes to suit silo diameters.
For silos with a conical bottom, see bin activators and Bin FloPads. For the silos themselves, see silos and hoppers.
A discharge unit fitted under a flat-bottom silo. A rotating sweep arm moves material across the silo floor to an off-centre outlet, where an integral rotary feeder discharges it into the next piece of equipment.
When the silo has a flat bottom. Without a cone, material will not flow out on its own, so the sweep arm carries it to the outlet.
By the integral rotary feeder at the outlet, which meters material into the downstream equipment.
Scorpio builds sweep valves in sizes to suit the diameter of the silo.
