GYRO™ Bin Activating Feeder

Brute Force, Base Mounted, Air Operated, Variable Speed Compatibility

The GYRO™ Bin Activating Feeder produces 360 degrees of pure gyratory motion to positively and more reliably discharge granular materials from bins, storage silos and hoppers at any desired feed rate.

At the heart of the GYRO Bin Activating Feeder is the drive that produces 360 degrees of radial force creating a uniform circular motion on all parts of the feeder. It is this annular radial vibratory motion which imparts the ultimate force, assuring a constant and reliable material flow. This also minimizes any material stratification in the storage silo or bin and develops a predictable and positive flow of material upon demand.

A unique feature of the GYRO Bin Activating Feeder is that the silo or bin head of material is completely supported by the upper activation cone, thus assuring a positive cut-off of material flow when the feeder is deactivated. The feeder can also be started and stopped as required and material will not accumulate in the lower discharge cone, eliminating packing or plugging problems. The GYRO Bin Activating Feeder is well suited for almost any dry bulk granular material, irrespective of particle size and/or bulk density.

In addition, the GYRO Bin Activating Feeder can operate either continuously or as a start and stop operation as might be required for more sophisticated process applications. Also available is an optional variable speed drive, which provides a variable material discharge rate with up to a 400 to 1 turndown ratio for batch weighing operations. Thus high accuracy of individual weighments can be achieved quickly for process efficiency and for precise feeding and bin discharging of almost any material.

GYRO Bin Activating Feeder Design Features

GYRO Bin Activating Feeder at Rest Position

A. Minimal height due to feeding principle.
B. Cone angle can be very shallow as clogging is not an issue.
C. Material stops due to angle of repose.
D. Material is not allowed to consolidate in lower cone.
E. Gap is adjustable to increase or decrease feed rate.

F. Stored material does not put any stress on flex connector, providing longer life.

GYRO Bin Activating Feeder during Discharge Cycle

G. Circular distance of activation cone creates a wide feed zone.
H. Circular motion of lower cone acts like a vibratory feeder and empties completely without material compaction or consolidation.
J. Activation cone provides even distribution of the forces for a consistent flow.
K. Standard inexpensive motor.
L. High strength support rods with rubber isolators to maximize gyration.
M. High strength reinforced flexible connector with stainless steel band clamps to insure dust-tight connection.
