New Spin Loader Virtually Eliminates Particle Separation

Available in two carbon steel models (SL100, 8 5/8-in.-diam inlet with a 2-hp motor) and (SL200, 10 ¾-in.-diam inlet with a 5-hp motor), Metlafab’s new spin loader allows utilization of bulk storage facilities to their fullest capacity, while eliminating the pyramiding that occurs when flakes and granular materials are loaded into bins, hopper cars, and piles. It also enables loading of up to 15% more product into virtually any storage facility evenly in a 360° arc without costly hand labor or interruption of flow.

Simple to install and easy to operate, the compact, ruggedly-built spin loader can handle up to 200,000 lb/hr of 90 lb/cu ft material. It can be mounted to the top of the bin or attached to a flexible loading spout and placed inside or over the bin itself.

The entering material flows through the spin loader’s tube to a motorized, spinning disc that directs it to the outer walls of the bin, allowing each bin or compartment to be filled to its maximum capacity. This method of redirecting the particles greatly reduces the possibility of particle separation, while allowing the particles to intermix. Since the entire loading system may be completely enclosed, product waste and contamination are eliminated.
