Rotary Arch Breaker

      A rotary arch breaker is a mechanical device designed to solve the problem of poor discharge caused by arching and bridging of material inside silos. It consists of a drive unit, a rotating mechanism, a scraper mechanism and a housing. A motor drives a reducer that turns the rotating mechanism, which drives the scraper (or blade / arch-breaking shaft) in a low-speed circular motion along the inner wall of the silo, especially near the cone or outlet. When material forms an arch or bridge and blocks flow due to friction, adhesion or particle characteristics, the rotating scraper/blade/shaft cuts forcefully into and agitates the material, destroying the supporting and adhesive forces between particles, breaking up lumps or collapsing the arch. The broken material then regains its flowability under gravity and discharges smoothly. It is widely used in the chemical, grain, mining and building materials industries.

The arch-breaking device provides a comprehensive solution for conditions such as arching and bridging at the silo outlet, hollowing of the silo with material not flowing at the sides, and material adhering to the silo walls.

Mainly used for materials with poor flow, bridging or wall adhesion, such as silica earth, calcium carbide, titanium chloride, carbon, toner, ink, diatomaceous earth, glass fiber, fiber, paper scraps, wood chips, shredded waste plastic, dyes, pigments, coatings, tea residue, furnace ash, dehydrated food, activated carbon, oil residue, dust, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, citric acid, etc.
