CDU PG04 Container Discharge Unit
Images marked “Installation visualization” are 3D renderings. Final configuration is confirmed for each project.
A wide receiving hopper paired with a wheeled discharge base for free-flowing powders and granules.
Design data
- Capacity
- Selected for the material and conveying conditions
- Container tilt angle
- Defined by the material, liner and vehicle
CDU PG04 combines a wide receiving hopper with a wheeled discharge base. It receives free-flowing material from a container and connects to the downstream conveying line. The receiving interface and configuration are selected for the liner and site conditions.
Features
- Wide receiving hopper for collecting incoming material
- Wheeled base for movement and positioning on site
- Lower discharge assembly connects to downstream conveying
- Control cabinet mounted at the side of the base
Applications
- Free-flowing powders with a low tendency to cake or bridge
- Free-flowing granules and other bulk materials
Configuration process
Define the material and duty
Match liner and receiving interfaces
Define downstream conveying
Configure controls and installation
Choosing a CDU model
Six configurations for different discharge requirements: start with flow behavior, then match the liner interface and installation arrangement.
| Model | Arrangement | Material focus | Receiving concept |
|---|---|---|---|
| PG01 | Container-mounted | Powders and granules; poor-flow powders | Wide inlet, opposing flights |
| PG02 | Container-mounted | Free-flowing powders and granules | Frame-mounted receiving unit |
| PG03 | Container-mounted | Caking, poorly flowing bulk solids | Access panels, central discharge |
| PG04 | Mobile | Free-flowing powders and granules | Wide fishtail inlet |
| PG05 | Mobile | Free-flowing bulk solids | Three liner connections |
| PG06 | Mobile | Free-flowing granules | Round inlet, rotary valve |
This comparison supports initial selection. Final configuration depends on material trials, liner dimensions and conveying conditions.
Information for selection
These inputs help match the receiving interface, discharge assembly and downstream conveying system.
| Category | Information to provide |
|---|---|
| Material | Name, powder or granule, particle size and bulk density |
| Flow behavior | Angle of repose, caking or bridging tendency, moisture |
| Duty | Target throughput, operating temperature, batches and duty |
| Container liner | Outlet count, shape, dimensions, location and attachment |
| Container and site | Container type, available tilt angle, space and equipment layout |
| Downstream conveying | Conveying method, distance, lift, pipe size and receiving conditions |
| Utilities and controls | Power supply, compressed air, interlocks and site interfaces |
Throughput, tilt angle, materials and connection dimensions are confirmed for the application.
