Bin Docking System

Product: Bin Docking System

• Purpose of Bin Docking system is to transfer Powder/Granules from upstream equipment at to downstream equipment.

• SS 304, Lid which normally remains close and opens only on sensing the docked BIN, for material discharge.

• Guides provided on foundation plate to guide the bin in its accurate docking position. Proxy sensor is provided to signal the operator through visual light indicator on tower panel at downstream equipment that the bin is positioned and ready to discharge.

• Butterfly valve is mounted on BIN discharge. Spindle assembly on butterfly valve will be inserted in female part of Pneumatic actuator when bin will be lowered by pallet truck for opening the valve

Operation of Bin Docking System:

• Bins on pallet truck will be taken to Bin docking station (Bin raised position)
• Bin on pallet truck will be inserted and guided into Docking station (Bin raised position)
• Proxy sensor senses the Bin presence (Bin raised position) and interlocked lid (Flap) on the top of SS Chute will be opened
• Pallet truck lowers the Bin and positions itself on the top of SS chute (Bin lowered position)
• As bin lowers down and positions itself on frame, Bin discharge valve male contact inserted into female part of the actuator on the docking station
• Above step 5, activates proxy sensor and this activates Docking station
• Signal on Tower lamp received as Docking station ready
• Operator below ensures necessary fitments of the discharge chute (silicon bellow) to the machine hopper and acknowledges.
• Upon receipt of acknowledgement on tower lamp, docking station operator actuates the bin docking station valve (Bin manual valve which becomes actuated valve when docked to docking station)
• This will allow lower operator to actuate m/c setting operation cycle
• Upon actuation of the docking station valve soft discharge of the material starts
• High level sensor situated at the top of discharge chute, Stops discharge from Bin When activated Low level sensor, when activated triggers discharge from the Bin and timer delay when activated signals that downstream equipment feeding operation is completed.
