POSIBIN

The Metalfab Posibin™ provides positive, problem-free discharge from storage of a wide range of difficult to handle materials - in a variety of densities and particle sizes. From micron-size powders to fibrous substances, materials flow freely, on demand, on a first-in, first-out basis.

The Posibin consists of a static cylindrical bin fitted with the unique Metalfab Bin Activator. This vibrating motorized unit, attached to the bottom of the static bin by vibration isolator-equipped solid steel suspension arms and flexible reinforced sleeve, provides continuous movement of the product in the bin. A conical primary baffle, mounted within the bin activator moves horizontally with the unit to keep the contents in continuous motion and eliminate potential flow-stoppages such as bridging, rat holing, etc.

An adjustable secondary conical baffle, located at the final outlet, moves at a slightly different amplitude to prevent jamming and compaction in that critical area.

Two Posibin models, with capacities from 3 to 750 cu. ft., handle materials with bulk densities to 200 lbs/cu. ft. The largest units are ruggedly mounted to the static bin by solid, carbon steel hangers capable of supporting more than 500,000 lbs. The Posibin may also be hung from overhead steel.
