Silo Hawk is a flexible solution that can be used to weigh any type of bulk storage container, such as hoppers and bins.
A hopper, silo, and bin are all used to store bulk materials, but they differ in a few key ways:
A hopper is a small, open-topped container with a sloping bottom that allows material to flow out. It is typically used to store and dispense materials such as sand, gravel, and grain.
A silo is a large, vertical container with a conical or cylindrical shape. It is typically used to store dry bulk materials such as grain, cement, and coal.
A bin is a large, horizontal container with a flat bottom. It is typically used to store dry bulk materials such as grain, flour, and sugar.
The main difference between a hopper and a silo is that a hopper has a sloping bottom, while a silo has a vertical or conical bottom. This difference in shape affects the way that material flows out of the container. Material flows out of a hopper by gravity, while material flows out
of a silo by gravity and air pressure.
The main difference between a hopper and a bin is that a hopper is typically used to store and dispense materials, while a bin is typically used to store materials. This difference in use affects the design of the container. A hopper typically has a discharge chute that allows
material to be dispensed, while a bin typically does not have a discharge chute.
In summary, a hopper, silo, and bin are all used to store bulk materials, but they differ in a few key ways. A hopper has a sloping bottom, while a silo has a vertical or conical bottom. A hopper is typically used to store and dispense materials, while a bin is typically used to store
materials.
