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.
