The Push Floor is an "original" discharger design
by Saxlund for squere and rectangular bunkers. It is designed
to function with non free flowing and difficult to handle bulk
solid materials. The flat bottom floor concept gives many advantages
and the Push Floor can be used in a number of different configurations
to suit the client's particular requirement. Reliable and accurate
metering can be achieved on demand.
Function:
The Push Floor is driven by a hydraulic system that moves
a number of parallel pusher frames or "ladders"
in reciprocating motion across the bunker flat floor. As it
does so it digs the stored bulk solid material from the bunker
and delivers it to a screw conveyor or other machines. Either
the screrw or the pucher frames themselves perform the recuired
metering function from the bunker.
Material:
The Push Floor discharger is especially suitable for handling
heavy, wet and generally non-free flowing bulk solid materials.
The Saxlund International Push Floor
is designed for use with square and rectangular
flat-bottom bunkers containing “difficult”
to handle bulk solid materials.
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.
