Portable Surge Bins
Portable Surge Bins
Our extensive line of portable material holding bins are ideal for storing and transporting both raw materials and finished product. Designed in a variety of standard and custom shapes – bins are available in various sizes to maximize and conserve handling time, space and energy. Several components and accessories are available to your specific needs. Construction materials include carbon, stainless and aluminum. Specialty agitator bins are designed to enable difficult-to- flow material to be moved effectively.
REQUEST A QUOTE Find a rep- A portable surge bin is useful when raw materials or finished product need temporary storage while remaining easy to move between locations in a facility. They can provide flexible intermediate storage without requiring a permanent bulk storage system.
- Portable surge bins allow material to be stored and moved closer to where it is needed in the production process. This can simplify material handling between processing, storage, and downstream operations.
- Material flow characteristics should influence the hopper design. Free-flowing materials can use a shallower hopper slope, while harder-to-flow materials may benefit from a steeper slope that encourages material movement toward the discharge point.
- An agitator bin can be beneficial when materials do not flow consistently on their own. Agitation helps promote material movement and can make difficult-to-flow materials easier to discharge from temporary storage.
- Portable surge bins can serve as a material source within a vacuum conveying system when equipped with the appropriate material pickup components. This allows stored material to be conveyed from the bin to downstream processing equipment.
- Processors should consider material characteristics, required storage capacity, available floor space, mobility requirements, discharge method, and how the bin will connect with upstream or downstream material handling equipment.
