What can cause bulk solids to stop flowing from a bin?
Answer Posted / ishan
Causes of such problems can fall into one of two categories: Material strength or Bin Geometry. In some cases, the combination of gravitational and frictional forces at some point in the container causes the solids to arch or bridge. So nearly all large bins contain an "arch-breaker" ( an upward pointing shallow metal cone set near the bottom) and can be stopped also because of rat flow (or) erratic material flow.
