Saxlund International’s original Sliding Frame discharge system
was developed
and patented in 1972.
The Sliding Frame covers the entire silo bottom and discharges the
layers of material
in the order in which they were introduced into the storage silo,
i.e. first in – first out!
The Sliding Frame pushes the stored material into one or more openings
in the
silo bottom thereby creating “mass flow” which eliminates
bridging and allows
the material to flow at the desired maximum rate.
The Sliding Frame silo discharge system has no moving parts within
the silo other
than the reciprocal movement of the frame itself. The result is that
no direct
wear or machine element can come loose and cause damage within the
silo or
downstream equipment.
Maintenance accessibility is enhanced since all the serviceable parts
are
accessible from the outside of the silo..
Push Floor Discharge System
The heavy-duty Push Floor is specifically designed for heavy wet and
non
free-flowing materials.
The design eliminates the typical rear wall packing problem often
found in
rectangular bunkers and the material is always delivered on a first
in – first out
basis.
The Push Floor can be used to discharge the stored material to any
number of
feeder/metering systems including screw conveyors, sludge pumps, belt
conveyors
or chain conveyors.
Solid Handling Pumps
Saxlund International has supplied many plants durable and reliable
solids
handling pumps throughout the world. Many different types of sludge
can be
pumped economically, including high solids content. An advantage of
these
systems is that they are closed to eliminate odour and corrosion.
A wide range of pump capacity is available. The pumps are easily maintained
and enjoy very high availability.
Saxlund International holds several patents for equipment used for
sludge
handling.
Transport Equipment
Saxlund International has developed proprietary mechanical conveying
equipment
specially designed for sludge. This equipment includes chain conveyers
and several
different types of screw conveyors.
As an example, Saxlund recently delivered a complete system for handling
75 m3
sludge per hour. This equipment included a Push Floor, Sliding Frame,
chain conveyers
and screw conveyors.
