The Silo discharge unit is sold in combination with large steel silos with 150-300 m3 net volume. The silo discharge unit is placed in a special deck inside the large silo, and the briquetting presses are placed below the deck with the discharge unit feeding raw material direct into the briquetting presses. The whole system is optimized and can replace a special building for the briquetting presses.
The discharge unit will be delivered fitted with two silo augers run by forced operation using an instantaneous motor. The rotational direction of the silo auger is the reverse of the direction of motion inside the silo. This prevents possible accumulation of raw material at the bottom of the silo.
In order to avoid the accumulation of raw material, the silo roller is fitted with a PCU control. The power consumption of the roller motor is measured continuously. This value is controlling the start/stop of the rotor.
