Outlet of silo for powder or granular matter - has housing with radial partitions closed at ends by rotatable offset disc segments

摘要

The silo outlet assembly is intended for powder or granular material and arranged at the circular outlet opening at the lower end of a conical outlet hopper. It comprises a cylindrical housing with connecting flanges and radial partitions forming chambers extending from a central bearing housing. A shaft carried in bearings in the housing, can be driven to rotate closure discs with segment-shaped openings at top and bottom of the housing. The discs each cover one or more chambers and have their openings 180 deg. offset relative to one another.
