BE&E SMART Floors Biomass Engineering & Equipment offers robust, cost-effective wedge floors for reclaim in bunkers, storage buildings, and containers. Called SMART Floors, these machines are powered by a simple hydraulic system that is housed separately from the material for easy access. Each stroker in the system is individually powered so technicians can perform maintenance without halting output. SMART Floors reclaim material with a push-pull system that shears material from the bottom of the pile to provide a true first-in, first-out material flow. Because the floors do not move the entire pile, the floors discharge material at a steady and accurate rate for better metering than a system with slat-floors. SMART Floors are available in a SMART Container system—a storage/feeding bin built from a repurposed sea container. SMART Containers install quickly and can be made stationary or mobile. These containers are advantageous in that they can be made dust tight, typically do not require building permits to operate, and can be easily moved or reconfigured. With these horizontal silos, operations can increase storage modularly by adding units side by side. Placing containers side by side also provides operations the ability to add redundancy and accurately blend material upon discharge. Visit BiomassEngineeringEquipment.com/equipment/ smart-floors/
Brunette SmartVIBE Conveyor The Brunette SmartVIBE is a unique and simple vibrating conveyor, designed for low cost maintenance and maximum uptime efficiencies. The patented design allows operators to change the conveyor speed by utilizing a variable speed drive (VFD) to control the drive motor RPM which effects the conveyor stroke. An internal counterweight ensures optimal balance, even at different speeds. The SmartVIBE has no external balance beams and no coil springs. It features a springless vibratory mechanism which is fully balanced at each stroke. The vibrating conveyor drive is designed to be inboard complete with a single electric motor. An eccentric shaft, driven by a belt and a sheave complete with belt guard, is mounted in roller bearing assemblies and connected to the
