Self Unloading Bin & Conveyor System
The Process Challenge
An adhesive mixing company contacted S. Howes to build a self-unloading bin and conveyor system to transport sluggish corn starch.
The Solution
S. Howes designed a system that included a mezzanine where palletized bags of product were placed. An operator would load the corn starch materials into the bin hopper, and then a 12-foot split tube screw conveyor transported the material to the next phase of the process.
Components
- Self Unloading Bin with 30 Cu. Ft. Hopper
- Bag Dump station Model 19
- Conveyor Model 6C12
- Mezzanine
The Result
The system saved the company time and money by transporting the product more efficiently.
