All of the following are used to promote flow from a difficult bin EXCEPT

  • A.a mechanical agitator inside the outlet
  • B.increasing the depth of material held above it
  • C.air injection through porous pads on the wall
  • D.an external vibrator mounted on the hopper

Answer: B

Correct answer: increasing the depth of material held above it

More head does not help and often makes matters worse: the extra weight consolidates the material near the outlet and increases its cohesive strength, so the arch it can support becomes stronger. The genuine remedies all break the arch or reduce the friction - a mechanical agitator, aeration through porous pads, or an external vibrator - and the real fix is a hopper designed for mass flow in the first place.
