Vibrating bin bottoms keep ground clay and shale flowing
Bin activators help boost productivity and eliminate downtime at a Midwestern brick-making plant.
General Clay Products Co., Newcomerstown, Ohio, which produces 18 million bricks every year for use in commercial, industrial, and residential construction, uses two 30-year-old square bins to store ground clay and shale from the company's mines. The bins are used continuously, discharging large amounts of clay and shale to meet the plant's production requirements.
