 |
The Problem:
Foundry needs New Bin Activator
|
|
The Equipment:
12' Diameter Bin Activator manufactured by Metalfab, Inc.
of Vernon, NJ.
|
|
The Solution: In 1981, a prominent foundry
in Indiana installed a Metalfab 12' diameter Bin Activator
to hopper reclaim or return sand. The unit had been in operation
for about a year when another application for a 12' Bin Activator
came about. Due to the excellent reputation of our 12' diameter
double baffle unit, they requested the engineering firm to
purchase another Metalfab unit.
|
 |
The Result:
The second Bin Activator was shipped in 1983 and now both
units are serving them well. In addition to the dual baffle
design, which prevents compaction at the outlet, both the
foundry company and the engineering firm were impressed that
no changes from our standard design were necessary. Other
Bin Activator manufacturers may require internal modifications
or request that their unit be cycled (turned on and off continuously,
whenever discharge is requried) in order to prevent compaction.
None of this is necessary with a Metalfab Bin Activator.
