Intoduction
MU Live Bin Bottoms are the ideal solution for discharging particularly difficult materials from polygonal hoppers or silos. Among others, they are used for extracting biological or industrial sludge, paper scrap, wood chippings, sawdust, as well as flour or bran in the flour milling industry.
Technical Specs
Description
| MU Live Bin Bottoms (Multiple Screw Feeders) are equipped with a modular trough which encloses up to 6 shafted helicoid flight or paddle screws, externally flanged, fully protected end bearing assemblies complete with manually adjustable packing gland and shaft seal, a rectangular outlet spout covering the entire width of the bin bottom, bolted end plates, splined shaft couplings for medium heavy-duty, and flanged shaft couplings for the heavy-duty version. Furthermore, MU Live Bin Bottoms are equipped with one gear motor per screw shaft or, depending on the application, with a drive unit driving more screws. |
Function
| MU Live Bin Bottoms are used for discharging difficult materials from polygonal hoppers or silos. In particular, they are used for extracting biological or industrial sludge, paper scrap, wood chippings, sawdust, as well as flour or bran in the flour milling industry. |
