Extractor systems – EXT type
The “EXT” type is a round silos with sweeping screw extractors. It includes a rotating turret arranged on the bottom of the silo, in central position. One or two metering screws, fastened to the rotating turret, provide for material extraction that will be discharged in the middle of the turret.
It is particularly suitable for both wet and dry material, chips and flakes, particularly fitting for wet flakes to be then fed to dryers, as well as for SL and CL particles.
The system is an excellent solution for the extraction of difficult, wet and compact materials, which often create bridging problems in silos.
Extraction and handling systems play a primary role in a production plant.
Their proper function will ensure a regular material flow, thus enhancing efficiency and availability of the whole plant.
Extraction systems for discharge of material from storage silos are available in different versions to meet any specific requirements and needs.
Advantages
No de-mixing, no bridging inside silo
Constant and regular extraction of material on the whole circular surface of the silo
Controlled feeding of the units located downstream
Low power demand
