Accurate feeding and discharging in one device
The GYRO EX Bin Activating Feeder/Discharger (photo) is a bin discharger and an accurate feeder, with up to a 100:1 turndown ratio, all in one piece of equipment. It produces a controlled gyratory motion to positively withdraw granular materials from bins, storage silos and hoppers. The GYRO EX uses a radial force to create a uniform circular motion on both the upper activation cone and the lower discharge cone. The stored material load is completely supported by the upper bin activation cone, which has a discharge angle less than the discharge cone. This means that all material feeds faster from the lower discharge cone than from the upper bin activation cone, preventing the head load from compacting material in the lower cone. — Dynamic Air Inc., St. Paul.
