Gas-permeable bulk material is filled into a bin. The discharge unit lowers the contents continuously and uniformly.
Gas flows through the bulk material from the bottom through the discharge unit and out of the container at the top. Both the gas and the bulk material change their properties, e.g. temperature, humidity, chemical composition.
Industrial processes in the bin: – Cooling – Heating – Drying – Composting – Torrefying – Agglomerating – Extinguishing
