Promo-Flow
The Mucon Promo-Flow is the answer to the problem of non-discharging
product from bins, silos or IBC'S.
The custom made internally mounted screens are specially
designed to transmit vibration directly into the product preventing
material bridging, rat-holing or segregating during discharge.
Available in carbon or stainless steel and in Mini, Standard
or Super configuration, Promo-Flow is the silo discharge system
which SHAKES THE CONTENTS NOT THE BIN.
The Problem - There are many reasons for powdered
or granular materials not discharging from hoppers or silos.
Material converging towards the outlet of a hopper builds
up forces within itself, which can cause it to become self-supporting.
Particle size, particle shape, material bulk density, moisture
content and hopper design are some of the factors which determine
whether or not a product will bridge, rat-hole or segregate
upon discharge.
The Solution - To overcome the problem of poor
material flow, the installation of a Promo-Flow discharge
system will promote the flow of any product which is normally
capable of flow, but which needs occasional or frequent help
to get started or to keep it moving.
How Does it Work? - Promo-Flow discharge systems
induce vibration directly into stored product keeping it "alive"
and thus reducing the strength of any bonding or locking of
the particles which may result in a flow problem.
Robust vibrators mounted externally activate vibrating screens
mounted on the inside of the silo walls, at the points where
flow problems occur. The vibrators are attached to mounting
brackets directly connected to the internal screens by large
bolts, which pass through the walls of the silo.
Rubber isolation mounts attach the Promo-Flow discharge system
to the silo, preventing leakage through the mounting holes.
The whole unit is allowed to vibrate whilst imparting little
or no vibration to the silo itself.
The Range
Mini Promo-Flow discharge systems are designed to
fit the smallest of hoppers, bins and feed chutes etc. They
are ideal for fitting into hoppers above tableting presses,
metering feeders, extruders etc.
Standard Promo-Flow discharge systems are a range
of general-purpose models for a multiplicity of applications
associated with average sized storage vessels and silos.
Super Promo-Flow discharge systems are designed for
the biggest of silos and to cope with the most arduous of
applications where the bulk density of the silo contents is
high. The rubber isolation mounts are considerably more resilient
to accommodate the increased loads.
