Why install the Rotoflo silo discharger?

There are many different types of discharge aids on the market. Most involve aeration, vibration, or a physical agitator inside the cone of the storage vessel or silo to stimulate material flow and prevent bridging and rat-holing.

The great thing about Rotoflo is that it’s easy to fit into new or existing vessels. However, what differentiates the Severfield Rotoflo silo discharger from others is that,

• It can control the desired through-put of material being discharged. Aeration and vibratory based systems cannot control the flow of discharged material.
•  It can feed up to four separate conveying systems from the same silo, saving space and capital expenditure.
• The Rotoflo can discharge a wide range of materials that other devices cannot.
• Low power consumption means it is cheap to run.
• The Rotoflo has few moving mechanical components, so service and maintenance costs are minimal. This means increased productivity and reduced downtime.
• Allowing external maintenance access allows inspection without the need to empty the vessel.
• As the Rotoflo does not use vibration or aeration, increased running costs are reduced, and stress cracking and material compaction are avoided.
• Built-in level detectors within the Rotoflo can detect problems in the downstream process and will automatically provide a positive shut-off until the issue has been resolved.
