Fluidized Screw

Model FS510

Model FS510 120 ft. full cleanout

Laidig’s innovative FS510 Fluidized Screw Reclaim system integrates the best of two technologies. It incorporates the rugged mechanical screw reclaimer together with an efficient air-gravity conveyor system.

This system is ideal for large volume storage and reclaim of cement, fly ash, talc, powders, and other fluidizable materials. Dome systems up to 130’ feet in diameter can be provided.

How does the FS510 system work?

• Air-gravity conveyors, consisting of an aerated center hub and radial spokes, are embedded into the dome’s sloped floor.
• The mechanical screw reclaimer is located at a “home position” over any one of the radial spokes.
• At start-up, initial reclamation via air-gravity conveyors reclaims a large percentage of the total stored material.
• Secondary reclamation from the mechanical screw reclaimer breaks down remaining piles and hard pack.
• Control systems sequentially activate air-gravity conveyor zones to coincide with the location of the screw reclaimer.
• At shut-down, the screw reclaimer automatically returns to the nearest “home position”.
