Mawera - Model PS Series - Cone-Bottom Silo Reclaim System - Brochure

The MAWERA cone-bottom silo reclaim system provides consistent discharge of wood particles without bridging problems. Material such as sawdust, planer shavings, wood chips and fines may be used. A spiked screw revolving around its own axis draws the material to the bottom of the cone. At the same time the spiked screw rotates inside the cone, effectively removing cavities that may have been formed between the cone and the material. The screw is sized to reach the silo-wall. Once the material has reached the chute at the bottom of the cone, it is passing though a cellular wheel sluice. This sluice acts like an air lock, avoiding influx of air and moisture into the silo. Finally a fixed or variable speed screw conveys the material further.
