Live Bottom Metering Bin

ProcessBarron’s live bottom screw metering bins provide precise, reliable fuel handling for biomass, wood, bark, sawdust, chips, and tire-derived fuel (TDF). Custom-engineered with multiple screws, abrasion-resistant coatings, and variable-speed controls, they ensure uniform fuel distribution, uninterrupted combustion, and improved boiler efficiency. Rugged steel construction, reinforced screw flights, and easy-maintenance access doors deliver long-term durability. Optional monorail systems simplify screw replacement, making ProcessBarron’s metering bins a low-maintenance, high-performance solution for industrial boilers.

Product Description

ProcessBarron’s live bottom screw metering bins provide reliable, precise fuel handling for industrial combustion processes. Designed to deliver uniform fuel distribution, these bins ensure consistent heat generation, improved boiler efficiency, and better control of emissions. By utilizing multiple engineered screws, our metering bins allow for accurate and adjustable fuel flow, supporting optimal combustion and consistent energy output in biomass, wood, bark, sawdust, chips, or tire-derived fuel (TDF) applications.

Each metering bin is custom-engineered to meet the specific needs of your facility. Our design minimizes or eliminates plugging, stores the appropriate amount of material, and ensures uninterrupted fuel feed from the main storage area to the combustion zone. The variable-speed screws, protected with abrasion-resistant ceramic coatings or chromium carbide weld overlays, control the quantity and distribution of fuel entering the combustion process, allowing operators to fine-tune performance for maximum efficiency and reduced emissions.

Rugged construction ensures long-term durability and minimal maintenance. ProcessBarron’s screw metering bins feature heavy-duty, abrasion-resistant steel bottoms, reinforced screw flights, and strategically placed access doors for convenient maintenance and screw replacement. Complete assemblies include fully configured motors, drive shafts, and bearings to guarantee smooth operation and consistent throughput. We also provide custom monorail systems to simplify screw removal and replacement, reducing downtime and labor costs.

Live bottom screw metering bins are an essential component for any facility managing biomass or alternative fuel sources. By storing, metering, and distributing fuel efficiently, these bins enhance operational reliability, maintain consistent combustion, and support environmental compliance.

ProcessBarron’s screw metering bins combine rugged construction, precise fuel control, and customizable design to deliver reliable, low-maintenance solutions for industrial boilers.
