Cone Bottom Reclaimer

02.07.2009 | Author: Wolfgang Geisler

Jeffrey Rader Corporation has brought back the ability to reclaim materials from a storage bin with a cone bottom and with many new improvements. The cone bottom reclaimer (CBR) has been engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications that operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The unit is constructed of simple but rugged materials. Its design eliminates large rotating bearings and power slip rings typically used on other units. The reclaiming screw, bearings and drives can all be maintained and/or removed from outside of the bin and are of a standard off-the-shelf design. The CBR uses simple technology to make a difficult application reliable, durable, simple to operate and maintain. When located in the cone of a bin, gravity assists in moving the material towards the outlet along the cone sides. In today’s environment with lean operations, you need a device that is reliable and low maintenance.

A variable-speed drive and special center discharge tube maintains a precise reclaim rate without allowing material to free flow. Because of the angled screw design, the CBR also uses less horsepower than typical flat bottom bin reclaimers. The slewing drive mechanism utilizes a torque motor and chain drive arrangement. The torque motor provides even and consistent movement of the reclaiming screw through the material.

Maintaining the reclaiming screw is much easier than with any other bin reclaiming device. In addition, using alloy materials for its construction in conjunction with the best in coatings available on the market today, the reclaiming screw will provide long life, minimizing maintenance requirements of the unit.
