SURGE/Metering BINS

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.

The surge/metering bin discharges product at a specified rate of flow into a feeder which introduces product into a high pressure system.  High pressure systems work best when product is fed into the system at a constant flow rate.
  
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.  If a valve is included in a high pressure system, the surge bin allows the valve to operate without handling product while the valve is changing ports.
