Mucon Promo-Flow Discharge Aid

The manufacturing of Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical involves the handling, processing and discharge of wide range of bulk materials. Two typical ingredients Sorbitol and Monnitol, usually light and fluffy by nature, discharge from small hoppers. Unfortunately, bridging often occurred directly above the outlet resulting in costly production delays.

The custom made internally mounted screens are specifically designed to transmit vibration directly into the product preventing material bridging, rat holing or segregation during discharge. The direct vibration results in the reduction of any bonding or locking of the particles. The robust vibrators are mounted externally activating the vibrating screens mounted on the inside of the silo walls at the points where the flow problem occurs. Rubber isolation mounts attach the Promo-Flow discharge system to the silo, preventing leakage through the mounting holes. The whole unit is allowed to vibrate while contributing no vibration to the silo itself.
