Jeffrey Rader - Pre-Steaming Bins for Wood Chips

Jeffrey Rader has placed more than 40 Pre-Steaming Bin installations in operation. Typical installtions of pre-steaming bins include:

• Replacement of older designs
• New installations
• Bleaching towers
• Pulp storage bins
• Kamyr feed bin
• MDF steaming bins

• Bottom double-mounted shell produces equal steaming
• Continuous radial movement of stoker arms creates a consistent residence time of all chips in the bin; no dead spots
• There is steaming at the floor drop chutes, which properly steams the center chip column
• Flanged removeable screw shafts allow for quick repairs with minimal downtime
• Pillow block bearing for screw conveyors provides more access to shaft gland and facilitates maintenance
• Adjustable seal gland and stainless sleeve on the shaft prolongs the life of the seal and shaft
