Frequently Asked Questions
Our bins are designed for versatility. They can handle a wide range of bulk solids including shredded plastics (PET, HDPE, PP flakes), wood chips, sawdust, agricultural products, and other processed materials. We optimize the screw design based on your material’s specific characteristics (size, density, flowability).
Yes. We highly recommend equipping the bin with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), which allows you to precisely control the screw’s speed. This enables you to fine-tune the material output to perfectly match the requirements of your downstream equipment.
Nearly every aspect can be customized. This includes the hopper volume, screw diameter and pitch, overall dimensions, material of construction (carbon steel vs. stainless steel), and the level of control system integration (e.g., level sensors, PLC communication).
Lead times vary based on customization requirements and current production schedules. A standard configuration typically ships within 4–6 weeks, while highly customized units may require 6–8 weeks. Contact our team for an accurate timeline based on your specific requirements.
Our bins are designed with PLC integration in mind. We offer standard communication protocols and can match your existing control architecture. Level sensors, emergency stops, and discharge confirmation signals come standard or as options, ensuring seamless integration with upstream and downstream equipment.
