VIBRAFLOOR:

INTELLIGENT RECLAIM SYSTEM

Getting hold of large quantities of bulk products, and ensuring that their handling process is high-quality, is a growing challenge for many of our customers. Populations are growing, and to obtain healthy and safe food is a priority.

One of the greatest concerns is the efficient and correct handling of cereals. This can be a headache in the agricultural chain, not only because different types of crops are handled in the same area in sequential seasons, but also because of the time needed to improve the speed of discharge from enclosed storage facilities.

Vibrafloor’s customers are always asking for simple, effective solutions. There is a range of options on the marketplace that allow for partial emptying of enclosed storage systems like silos. However, many of these only allow for a partial emptying, and are not all safe. They can also cause production stoppages.

Since 1996 Vibrafloor has been offering its design for adjustable and efficient reclaim systems, which achieves economies of scale and cost savings for the company’s customers all over the world.

Single mode of operation for multiple applications

Vibrafloor’s method of moving bulk destabilize and carry residual piles of bulk products and move these towards conveyors, by means of vibrating modules laid on slightly inclined floors in the bottom of a silo.

The undermines and collapses the leading edge of cohesive and free-flowing material through a low-pressure zone, creating a progressive “avalanche” of the stored material.

Advantages

Full traceability of unloaded batches

Ability to handle different types of products

• High rate discharge

The system is adapted to numerous configurations of silos and ensures optimum flow

• Low energy cost

The VibraFloor technology provides one low power motor for module: 690W /motor for the module. For this reason, it can be used in large and small structures.

• Automatic, safe and secure

From the outset, during project evaluation, Vibrafloor takes into account all technical requirements, it adapts the design and carefully analyses the product to be handled. All parameters are set to ensure 100% successful discharge from the control room. No human intervention is required inside the silo. There is no risk of explosion: all electrical components are Atex-certified

• The vibration is not transmitted to the silo or the product

The system works by creating a wave in flexible surface plate of each module, which is instigated by a low-energy motor. This means that the system can also be used on ships and barges

• System redundancy

Each installed module has its own motor, so reclaiming can continue even if one motor has to be disconnected, stopped or reset, so production remains uninterrupted.

Vibrafloor works by increasing the volume of discharge according to the requirements of the production chain. It also allows further optimization in product turnover throughout the year.

Thanks to constant evolution and improvement of its system, in terms of components and system operations, Vibrafloor remain at the forefront of the bulk material discharge market.

The Vibrafloor discharge system was originally developed for a cereal application; the company now works with arrange of other products including sugar, flour, animal feed, grain/seeds, minerals, biomass and fertilizers.

Vibrafloor focuses on the real needs of each client, ensuring the correct evaluation in terms of structure installation, processes and technical specifications of the products. This allows us to guarantee a constant flow of material and 100% discharge of client’s materials. Its main objective is to simplify your unloading process and help its customers to improve their production cost.
