                                      Flying Dutchman


The Flying Dutchman Industrial Bin Unloader system consists of a powered discharge with central shaft extending up the centre of the hopper. This shaft is fitted with chains of different lengths with end hammers that rotate with a small clearance inside the hopper cone when fully extended by centrifugal force. Initially they hang down and wrap around the shaft but as the unloading progresses they extend outwards to cut away bridged material from the hopper cone.

Various alternatives are available at the discharge, from straight out and down for drive under units, to angled or horizontal augers which can be multi screw and multi directional.

There are three basic sizes of hopper unloaders and also a model designed to unload flat bottom silos from 18 to 30 feet diameter.

Flow Control :-

The Flying Dutchman features a patented interior flow control.  Operating manually from outside, adjusting to any kind of material, gives you even unloading and better flow of material.
