About Bin Activators
Bin activators promote the steady flow of granular or powdered material from storage bins, hoppers or silos. They are designed to prevent bridging, jamming, clogging, compacting and rat-holing. Bin activators are made of stainless steel or carbon steel and mount directly to material handling equipment. Most products include a unitized vibrator or gyrator that moves dry material toward a narrow opening on a first-in, first-out basis. Cone-shaped, dish-shaped, or multi-sloped baffles promote mass flow and reduce particle segregation. To prevent slippage or leakage, a heavy-duty sleeve can be attached with steel clamps or bolts. In some cases, vibratory bin activators are used in conjunction with aerators or bin fluidizers, devices which inject air along an internal area of the bin to break up bridges or arches in bulk material.
