Surge Bin

A surge bin is a key component of bulk material handling systems and is a buffer or intermediate storage tank between the processing stages. The surge bin accumulates excess material between the primary crusher and secondary equipment, feeding a constant, controlled rate downstream. Surge bins enhance the overall efficiency and stability of the processing line by preventing bottlenecks and compensating for variations in the material flow. They are especially essential in mining, aggregate, and construction operations, where the material flow rate varies drastically with varying loading conditions and cycles of crusher operation.

At Polygonmachine, we design and manufacture the high-volume and durable surge bins to meet the needs of today’s processing plants. Our surge bins are abrasion-resistant and built for use with abrasive and heavy-duty materials such as ore, gravel, coal, and crushed rock. They are individually custom-engineered for project-specific volume, discharge, and environmental conditions. With feeders incorporated and automation optional, our surge bins offer the advantage of better control, reduced downtime, and a smoother plant operation uninterrupted.

Hopper Bin

Hopper bins are employed in bulk material storage and dumping in a controlled and uniform manner. The conical or pyramidal containers are placed at transfer points where the material is temporarily stored prior to advancing to the next stage of processing. Hopper bin slope design promotes gravity flow and resists hang-up of material, preventing jam occurrence and maximum material handling. Hopper bins have wide applications in agriculture, cement, and mineral processing industries.

Polygonmachine produces sturdy and portable hopper bins for a number of different uses. Our units include fixed, portable, and modular configurations with bespoke discharge gates and liners suitable for the material being transferred. A steel, aluminum, or polymer-coated hopper bin to suit your needs can be sourced through our professional engineering service for optimizing material flow and reducing risk to the user. Our bin hoppers are seamless to incorporate into current systems and can be equipped with sensors, level measuring devices, and flow control systems for precise inventory management.

Hopper Feeder

Hopper feeders are combination units that pair the storage capacity of a storage hopper and a material feeding system, such as a belt or vibratory feeder. These machines offer uniform and controlled dispensing of bulk material to conveyors, screens, crushers, or mixers. Hopper feeders play a pivotal role in process efficiency by regulating feed rate, minimizing spillage of materials, and maintaining minimum human contact. Hopper feeder design ensures flexibility in terms of material handled, ranging from powdered material to lumped material.

At Polygonmachine, we design and build advanced hopper feeder systems to customized site application. Our feeders have adjustible gates, flow control and start/stop automation for complete control of operations. Our construction material is designed to be heavy-duty so our hopper feeders can handle abrasive material and harsh environment conditions. Our hopper feeder systems give you enhanced efficiency, safety and consistency of operations in bulk material handling through precision engineering and silky integration.

Stone Hopper

Stone hopper is a storage container specially designed for storing stone, gravel, and other coarse aggregate. The hoppers are made of steel with reinforced walls that are lined with abrasion-resistant materials to withstand the effects of multiple loading and offloading of abrasive material. Stone hoppers are a necessity in quarrying and aggregate production since they provide temporary storage and smooth flow of material into crushers, screens, or conveyors.

Polygonmachine offers tailor-made stone hoppers that are reinforced for strength, engineered for efficiency, and constructed to last. Our concepts feature large discharge openings, flow-improving wall slopes, and vibration gates as an option to ensure continuous flow of the material. From stationary hoppers for permanent installation to portable hoppers for easy site deployment, our solutions ensure top performance even in the most demanding environments. Mining, construction, and infrastructure clients rely on Polygonmachine stone hoppers for their boost in throughput and maintenance downtime.

Surge Bin Capacity

Proper sizing of the surge bin is central to effective material handling operation and avoidance of processing line downtime. Sizing of the surge bin is dependent on factors that include feed rate, material density, retention time requirement, and downstream equipment requirement. Properly sized surge bin has the ability to absorb flow surges, ensure constant discharge rate, and prevent overloading or underloading of equipment and hence protect processing elements from wear and tear.

Polygonmachine individually designs surge bins with your operation-specific capacities. Our technical specialists perform precise material flow calculations to determine the most suitable size and bin discharge characteristics. We even provide for future growth by allowing for increases in production capacities. From portable bins for mobile plants to heavy-duty industrial ones for high-output operations, we provide safe, efficient, and optimized solutions for system performance that reduce downtime to an absolute minimum.

Stonebox Hopper

The stonebox hopper is a rugged material handling product that will take high-impact loads of coarse rock and heavy aggregate materials. The stonebox hopper differs from other hoppers in that it has vertical walls and a rock-on-rock design that cushions descending material and reduces wear. This design decreases downtime and maintenance and makes the stonebox hopper an ideal application for primary crusher inlets and loading points in quarry and mine operations.

Polygonmachine stonebox hoppers are constructed of high-strength steel and reinforced to handle the most severe field conditions. We design with attributes like AR liner plates, replaceable impact zones, and integral feed chutes for long life service. Our stonebox hoppers are engineered to mount on fixed installations or mobile platforms, allowing customers to maximize their loading operations while protecting downstream equipment. Backed by our commitment to precise engineering and quality construction, Polygonmachine stonebox hoppers provide improved wear resistance and material flow control in any aggregate processing operation.
