  Vibra-Jet™
Bin Discharger
Series 256
Continuous
Material Flowability
The innovative design
of the Vibra-Jet Bin Discharger assures continuous flow of bulk
granular materials finer than 50 mesh. Using aeration, the Vibra-Jet
Bin Discharger restores flowability to materials which are prone
to packing during storage in bins, silos or surge hoppers, and
promotes free flow of materials which tend to bridge or hang
up. Unlike other bin dischargers, the Vibra-Jet provides aeration
along the bin wall, lowering the friction between the wall and
the stored material and improving material flow. The bulk material
is fluidized and positive flow results.
Vibra-Jet
Bin Aerators
The bin discharger
is fitted with patented Vibra-Jet bin aerators which employ a
unique aeration technique. With each pulse of compressed air,
the Vibra-Jet bin aerators release a controlled amount of air
in a circular pattern along the bin wall, dislodging material
and keeping it moving. In addition to cleaning material from
the bin walls, the air action vibrates the rubber boot on the
bin aerator, keeping it cleaned and unclogged. When the Vibra-Jet
bin aerator is turned off, material pressure and the resilience
of the rubber boot force the boot against the bin wall, preventing
material from entering the air supply lines.
Four Zones
Provide Pulsing Variations
The Vibra-Jet bin
discharger has four aeration zones. Instead of activating all
bin aerators simultaneously, each quarter section is operated
independently. The four zones can be programmed to aerate in
any pulsing sequence. A variety of pulsing sequences are possible,
for example, one zone at a time (1-2-3-4) or opposite zones simultaneously
(1 and 3, then 2 and 4). The variable pulsing sequence maximizes
utilization of available kinetic energy. The result is more effective
discharge of materials in shorter discharge times.
Low Profile
Design
The low profile
design of the Vibra-Jet Bin Discharger saves valuable headroom
space without intruding on silo capacity.
