VIBRACONE

Overview:
Over the last 30 years, United States Systems has made a name for itself in moving dry bulk materials. This experience shows that most any product has problems discharging from storage bins. Frequently at start up after a bin has set overnight, material can be compacted to the point of creating a bridge which prevents the material from flowing. Or during normal operations a massive slug of materials blocks the bin cone. These problems can be eliminated by a unique design created by the US Systems engineering department. This new bin activator provides instant start up and keeps the material moving regardless of particle size, weight or compaction.

Method: Vibracone is a self-compensating bin activator and discharge controller. The Vibracone self-adjusts to meet changing flow conditions. If material characteristics change during operation, Vibracone automatically adjusts it's cycle mode with no change in air pressure.

Operation:
Vibration and aeration is required even for easy to move particles. In its high frequency vibration mode, Vibracone is in near equilibrium with the product. It's amplitude is about 1/32 of an inch. Flow is steady with no wear on the bin cone.	During start-up, the material could be compacted so as to form a bridge over the cone or a slug can develop during operations. Vibracone seeks equilibrium with the pressure exerted against it. As pressure builds, Vibracone increases its amplitude to send shock waves into the material until free flow is restored.	Once flowing again, Vibracone returns to normal operating mode. Vibracone vibrating action continues and can be configured for no release of air into the material.
