Moving floor discharge
Taken from the hydraulic moving floor across the full width of the store and passed on to the downstream system.
- Operating mode
- continuous
A horizontal trough conveyor takes the material out of the hydraulically driven moving floor over a length you define. In most cases a vertical conveyor follows.
The critical point of this application is matching the moving floor to the trough screw. If the moving floor delivers more than the screw takes away, the trough overflows — and the vertical conveyor downstream receives more material than it can handle. We therefore size the horizontal trough screw deliberately to the output of the moving floor, not the other way round.
Depending on the bulk material the vertical conveyor works in pull or in push mode. With light, dry material the system behaves differently than with heavy, moist material — that goes into the design.
- 01
Intake across the full length
The trough conveyor takes material over the distance you specify.
- 02
Matched, not overfilled
The trough screw follows the output of the moving floor — otherwise the trough overflows.
- 03
Straight on upwards
Connects to the vertical conveyor without an intermediate station.
