AJAX - The Great Choice for IBC’s
Selection Criteria.
Ajax Equipment offers three different types of bin in order to meet the varied performance demands dictated by the nature of the bulk solid handled.
-
Standard Gravity Flow bins for easy flow materials,
-
LynflowTM bins, for difficult flow materials.
-
‘InvertaBins’, for total containment, awkward flow products.
These bins are made in mild or stainless steel in a range of capacities and their selection is supported by Ajax powder testing services and the option of custom construction for special or difficult applications. Inserts can be fitted in all of the bin types to mitigate the effects of segregation during filling and discharge, if required.

Standard bins have conical bases
and square bodies with radius corners
for maximum holding capacity and good
‘cleanability’. Contrary to many storage
hopper duties, IBC’s are completely emptied
before refill, so do not require a mass flow
design to avoid extended residence time
for part of the contents. The bins therefore
have a cone angle of 50 Degrees to
ensure an optimum balance between good
self-clearing and maximum holding capacity.

LynflowTM bins are designed to exploit the latest advances in bulk technology to secure optimum Flow benefits. The combination of combining mass flow design with ‘Sigma Two’ relaxation of plane flow provides an outlet equivalent in flow potential to an opening four times the size of a standard conical outlet. The multi-stage construction expands the flow regime to avoid the formation of stable ‘ratholes’.

|
‘Invertabins’ employ one large opening
only for filling and emptying, thereby
requiring only one valve on the bin and
avoiding any prospect of spillage or
leakage during storage or transport.
The flat base offers maximum holding capacity
and the bin can be filled without ullage as
the sloping surfaces are designed to provide
efficient discharge characteristics. The process
of inverting for discharge upsets any time
consolidation that has taken place since filling
and loosens the contents for ease of discharge.
An inverting station can also function as a mixer.
