MultipleAuger/Agitator Bin Dischargers

Typical Acrison
Conical Type Bin Discharger
Bin Bottom Design

“Greater Flow Area”

The basic design of Acrison’s Bin Discharger totally eliminates the converging
flow pattern (usually the source of flow-related problems) inherent in conical,
pyramidal or wedge type bin bottom designs.

FEATURES

• Bin Dischargers are available with square or round inlet flange • Slow auger/agitator speeds ensure gentle action.
configurations in standard sizes of 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 feet. • Flanged rigid attachments on both the inlet and outlet

Acrison Bin Dischargers (and Bin Discharger Feeders)
have proven extremely effective in hoppering (and metering) all types
of dry solid materials.

They are particularly recommended when the following
conditions exist:

• When the physical characteristics of a product are such that • When multiple discharge outlets are required on the bottom
