Hoppers, bins & silos
Receive and hold material, with geometry chosen so that it discharges reliably when needed.
SERVICE 03 / STORAGE & FLOW CONTROLWHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN MOVES
Held, then
released on purpose.
Storage is rarely passive. Geometry, discharge behaviour and the controls around it decide whether material flows reliably or becomes the reason a line stops.
RECEIVE → HOLD → RELEASEEQUIPMENT CONSIDERED
Four families,
one interface question.
Each of these sits at a point where material changes state — moving to still, or still to moving again.
Filter by your duty in the Flow FinderGates & diverters
Isolate, divert and route flow between lines, bins and destinations.
Rotary airlocks & feeders
Meter material out of hoppers at a controlled rate and seal between pressure zones.
Chutes, components & spares
Transfer chutes, wear parts and spares that keep an existing line running.
THE QUESTIONS THAT MATTER
Discharge is the
usual failure point.
01Flow behaviour
Whether the material bridges, ratholes or flows freely shapes hopper geometry from the outset.
02Access & control
How the line is isolated, diverted or metered without stopping everything around it.
03Wear & containment
What touches the material, how it's replaced, and what it takes to keep dust and spillage contained.
A DISCHARGE PROBLEM?
Describe how
it's misbehaving.
Bridging, ratholing and inconsistent discharge are easier to diagnose with specifics.
