Pre-Steamer Bin Activators


Pre-Steamer Bin Activator

Overview

Metalfab's rugged stainless steel Pre-Steamer Bin Activator is used primarily in the pulp and paper industries both as a standard bin activator and also to presteam wood chips as a precursor to feeding them into the digester. Presteaming the chips dramatically increases the throughput of the digester resulting in reduced processing time, increased efficiency and improved mill profits

Features/Benefits

  • Wide Range of Sizes: 2' to 16' diameter
  • Special Steam Injection: for processing temperature of 250°
  • Unique Dual Baffle Design: features a primary and suspended secondary baffle that delivers continuous flow of dry materials without plugging, jamming or bridging
  • Endless beaded Flexible Sleeve: is 7/16" thick with 3-ply reinforcement that will not puncture, slip or leak
  • Solid Steel Suspension Arms: are bolted 90° and can support up to 500,000 lbs. each to ensure the bin activator will always remain attached to the bin and cannot move off-center
