It offers automatic and controlled discharge of virtually any powder type, winning where other systems have failed.\n\nCohesive materials can be stimulated to flow, by virtue of the integral cone vibration at the top of the lifting cycle.\n\nThis means no more ‘bin rash’ & hammers to release powder, resulting in improved product integrity and no damage to equipment.",
