Storage hoppers and bins provide reliable buffering and controlled discharge of bulk materials. Designed with optimized geometry and wear-resistant construction, they ensure smooth material flow and seamless integration with handling systems.

Engineering Overview

Metzix Industrial Storage Hoppers, Surge Bins, and Feed Silos are engineered to provide dependable capacity buffering, surge decoupling, and continuous discharge of raw ores, crushed minerals, and bulk industrial solids. Featuring mass-flow hopper cone designs calculated based on particulate shear testing, our bins eliminate funnel flow, bridging, ratholing, and segregation. Available with vibrating bin dischargers, fluidizing air pads, and high-impact wear liners.

Key Features & Engineering Advantages

✓
Mass-flow conical, chisel, or pyramid geometries designed to prevent ratholing and bridging
✓
Heavy structural steel shell reinforced with external stiffening rings and seismic supports
✓
Replaceable wear liners: High-hardness Hardox plates, ceramic tiles, or low-friction UHMW-PE
✓
Discharge interfaces prepared for slide gates, apron feeders, or vibrating pan feeders
✓
Integrated load cell mounting lugs, radar level transmitters, and flow aid mounting pads

Performance & Economic Benefits

01

Guarantees reliable first-in, first-out mass flow without dead storage consolidation

02

High shock load resistance to withstand dump impacts from front-end loaders and haul trucks

03

Low coefficient of friction liners prevent sticky clay or fine coal cake adherence

04

Modular bolted or shop-welded sections for cost-effective freight and rapid site erection
