Dischargers

Discover efficient silo emptying

Silo flow problems can be a major headache for any organisation handling bulk materials. These problems are usually blamed on bridging within the silo, but this is often an oversimplification.

To successfully overcome any silo flow problem you first need to understand the properties of the material being handled, the requirements of the application, the geometry of the silo and the capabilities of different silo dischargers.
