Cold weather is here and with it comes the headaches associated with materials becoming stuck and frozen inside of bins and hoppers. Though material flow problems can happen at any time during the year, outdoor bins and hoppers really begin to suffer as temperatures plummet. Damp materials that flow well in the summer can freeze as solid as a rock during the winter. A common solution to restoring flow is to bang on the outside of the hopper with a sledge hammer. However, using a hammer can damage the bin wall and cause even more flow problems as the hammer marks give the material inside more places to hang up . Flow problems due to hopper damage will continue even as temperatures warm.
A simple solution for these flow problems is to use an external vibrator on the outside of the hopper. To be effective, however, a vibrator must be properly sized for the application. A vibrator that is too small will not produce the desired results. A vibrator that is too large can damage the hopper itself and may even cause the vibrator to fail prematurely. By using our bin/hopper sizing sheet below, Denver Vibrator will be able to accurately size your application to make sure your external bin vibrator is the right one for your application. Simply print off the work sheet, fill in the necessary information that is relevant to your application and return to us by fax or email.
