An effective means of preventing bridging in the container
When used with the Buck® docking system,
Buck® Vibroflow™ discharging system is an effective means of preventing bridging in the container. The discharging system is equipped with a vibration unit that prevents the generation of a vacuum in the upper container area during discharging, while simulltaneously enabling the product to flow rapidly from the container. The vibration effect reaches just beyond the upper layer of the product in the container. The motion generated by the vibration ensures internal gas exchange in the container. As a result, the product is able to flow unimpeded and with a constant, uniform speed (accurate mass flow).
Another major benefit is the prevention of product segregation.
The Vibroflow™ product is available in several widths and is designed to be installed between the container flange and the Buck® passive valve. Actuating the vibrating device installed on the active station initiates vibration in the system while the container walls remain unaffected. As the container is filled, the product mound cone is flattened. The Buck® discharging system is so designed that it is possible to install it into existing systems and containers.
The additional installation of a position controller even makes it possible to control the discharge flow, thereby allowing balanced charging or discharging of containers, while maintaining a high level of dosing accuracy.
