Model 170-BD-30 "Flat Bottom" Bin Discharger with Self-Emptying Internal Agitation Mechanism
Overview
Acrison's Model 170-BD-30 "Flat Bottom" Bin Discharger utilizes mechanically induced internal agitation to promote the discharge of dry solids ingredients from within a bin or hopper. The unit features a unique "self-emptying" design, making it ideal for applications where rapid product changeover with minimal downtime is critical. The Model 170-BD-30 is commonly used as the refill mechanism for an Acrison "Weight-Loss" Weigh Feeder.
Features/Benefits
- Circular, Non-Converging "Flat Bottom" Housing - contains a horizontally- mounted agitator driven by a constant speed, heavy-duty gearmotor. The circular sweeping action of the slowly rotating horizontal agitator produces positive product discharge out of the unit's Discharge Port without compaction, attrition, and/or segregation
- A Separate Discharge Chute - also located in the flat bottom of the discharger allows the discharger to be "emptied quickly" when the Bin Discharger's primary Discharge Port is connected to another source
- All Steel Construction - provides long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements
- Designed For Total Product Cleanout - allows Bin Discharger to empty completely; dead zones are eliminated
