The tendency of dry solids to flow from bins in a sporadic or irregular fashion has perplexed the materials handling industry from its earliest days. Attempts to solve the problem have ranged widely - and wildly - from the use of a laborer with a sledge hammer, to rappers or vibrators and powerful blasts of air. Over the years no single method or combination of techniques ever provided a universally successful solution. Then in 1960, a revolutionary new concept was introduced which overcame the troublesome and costly problems of arching, bridging, and rat-holing. Called a "Bin Activator", the device consisted of a vibrated cone which was suspended beneath the bin, replacing a major portion of the standard fixed cone. Positive discharge was achieved through the successful application of the principles of vibration as well as by the design of the unit.
The fluidity of some powdery bulk materials is very poor, and the unloading operation cannot be realized through various auxiliary flow methods, such as silo wall vibrator, air hammer, hammer and even air cannon. The horizontal vibration of VRV bin activator generate shear forces, which allows the continuous flow of bulk material. It is mounted below the hopper for arch breaking and uniform feeding.
