Frequently Asked Questions
What types of materials can this screw bin handle?
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).
Is the discharge rate adjustable?
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.
What customization options are available?
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).
