Model 170-BD-30 “Flat Bottom” Bin Discharger with Self-Emptying Internal Agitation Mechanism

Overview

Acrison’s Model 170-BD-30 “Flat Bottom” Bin Discharger utilizes mechanically induced internal agitation to promote the discharge of dry solids ingredients from within a bin or hopper.  The unit features a unique “self-emptying” design, making it ideal for applications where rapid product changeover with minimal downtime is critical. The Model 170-BD-30 is commonly used as the refill mechanism for an Acrison “Weight-Loss” Weigh Feeder.

Features/Benefits
Circular, Non-Converging “Flat Bottom” Housing – contains a horizontally- mounted agitator driven by a constant speed, heavy-duty gearmotor.  The circular sweeping action of the slowly rotating horizontal agitator produces positive product discharge out of the unit’s Discharge Port without compaction, attrition, and/or segregation
A Separate Discharge Chute – also located in the flat bottom of the discharger allows the discharger to be “emptied quickly” when the Bin Discharger’s primary Discharge Port is connected to another source
All Steel Construction – provides long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements
Designed For Total Product Cleanout – allows Bin Discharger to empty completely; dead zones are eliminated
