Bin activators, also known as vibratory bin dischargers, are used to ensure powder flow from silos or bins is maintained. The vibration isolation system only vibrates the powder and not the silo or bin, so that material bridging, rat-holing, blocking and segregation is eliminated. Bin activators are made of mild steel, 304 or 316 stainless steel, or special alloy with woven or rubber beaded flexible connections, and have other features such as:

• Adjustable, continuous or intermittent vibration
• Bracketed or flanged silo attachments
• Mass flow discharging on a first in, first out basis
• Heavy duty vibration isolation hanger arms
