Repurposed SURGE BIN

A surge or metering bin is positioned at the material infeed area of the high pressure system.  The surge/metering bin discharges product at a specified rate of flow into a feeder which introduces product into the high pressure system.  High pressure systems work best when product is fed into the system at a constant rate of flow.
 
A surge/metering bin has three components, the storage area, the conveying section and a support structure.  The storage area is sized to handle a certain volume of product, the storage area sits directly above the conveyor section.  The conveyor can be a chain or screw moving product from the storage area to a discharge with a constant mass and volume. A support structure is required as the surge/metering bin is typically feeding a down-stream piece of  equipment.
 
Surge bins vary in size and metering capacity, placed in front of a high pressure system, it allow the high pressure system to operate at higher capacity and when a valve is included in the high pressure system, the surge bin allows the valve to operate correctly.
