Silo Discharge

With more than 3,000 silo systems sold worldwide, Claudius Peters is a major contributor to the current international standards for silo design. In addition, the Claudius Peters Technikum (Technical Center) is a state-of-the-art testing and research facility, where the analysis of bulk solids determines the design of Claudius Peters equipment and processes. Developed by Claudius Peters, the expansion chamber principle, along with its patented optional inspection chamber for storage silos and overflow pipes for mixing silos, have become standards in world silo technology.

Flow Control Gate

The Claudius Peters Flow Control Gate is used wherever bulk solids have to be discharged from silos and bins, in a metered and controlled manner.

Especially in the cement and building materials industry Claudius Peters Flow Control Gates have been used successfully for many years for various applications as shutoff or dosing aggregate. 

Flow Control Gate PCD (Pneumatic Controlled Digital)

The Claudius Peters Flow Control Gate is used wherever bulk solids have to be discharged from silos and bins, in a metered and controlled manner.

Especially in the cement and building materials industry the Claudius Peters Flow Control Gate Type PCD (Pneumatic Controlled Digital) has been used successfully for many years. This device is also used as dosing and shut-off device for special applications.

The Flow Control Gate PCD is equipped with an electro pneumatic controller with 4 - 20mA input and output signals for position transmission. If required, additional binary in- and output signals can be installed. To indicate the two final positions, the Flow Control Gate PCD can additionally be equipped with a limit switch unit with micro or proximity switches.

Flow Control Gates V (Vertical)

The Claudius Peters Flow Control Gate is used wherever bulk solids have to be discharged from silos and bins, in a metered and controlled manner.

This type of flow control gate has been designed especially for all those applications where the space under the silo is limited and a classic side discharge cannot be used. The Claudius Peters Flow Control Gates Type V have been used for various applications as shut-off aggregate with simple dosing functions.

Lump Breaker

The main function of the Claudius Peters Lump Breaker is crushing of lumps which have formed, for instance, due to hydration in silos or bins. A horizontal or vertical type lump breaker is available and is used in the discharge area in front of the discharge equipment, for example flow control gates. A rotor with crushing arms in a radial arrangement and displaced on the shaft, draws the lumps against a grate where it crushes the lumps.

Rotary Feeder DKZ

The Claudius Peters Rotary Feeder DKZ is based on the principle of the double chamber design and can be used alternatively to the Claudius Peters silo discharge devices applying the fluidization principle. The Rotary Feeder DKZ is used wherever bulk solids have to be discharged in a controlled and dosed manner from silos and bins.
