Bin with horizontal screw conveyor – 18817

Bin with horizontal screw conveyor manufactured for recycled material. The size of the bin is approximately 12 m3 with screw a horizontal screw rotor in the bottom.

When designing this type of bin, it is important that the material do not bridring. If there is a risk of bridging you shall look for live screw bottoom – see an example here.

Advantage of having a horizontal screw conveyor in the bottom of the bin

• The screw conveyor can be used as a dosing screw rotor
• By adding a frequency inverter to the electrical motor, you can control the output

In the actual case the bin acts as a plain storage for recycled material. It is emptied when it is filled checked manually by the production employoees.

What to consider when designing the bin?

1. The size of the bin
2. The rate in which you want to empty it
3. The flowability of the product
4. The abrasivity of the product

In this case BEMA has manufactured the screw rotor with HARDOX screw flights. This increases the lifte time of the screw rotor, if the material is abrasive.

BEMA has many years of experience in designing bins with screw conveyors. A good design requires respect for the engineering, because there are more parameters to take into consideration.

We recommend you to contact BEMA as early as possible in the desing process to get the best possible result.
