LBB60

Live Bottom Bin for Storage and Controlled Feeding

Smooth, consistent feeding of biomass into a digester or processing line starts with reliable input management. The Live Bottom Bin (LBB60) serves as the vital bridging stage between irregular material arrivals (trucks, loaders, bulk deliveries) and the steady flow a digester or pretreatment line needs. It receives, stores, buffers and then feeds organic, semi-solid or sludge materials in a measured, continuous way—avoiding bottlenecks, bridging and feed interruptions.

Product Overview

The LBB60 is built to handle large volumes with precision. It features a live-bottom auger (or multiple augers) that continuously draws material from the base of the bin and ensures uniform extraction—preventing bridging and floor build-up. With capacities up to and beyond 400 m³, the unit is ideal for plants that process high volumes of organic waste and need controlled, steady feed into digesters, composters or other downstream equipment.

Ideal For

  • Biogas plants needing a buffer and dosing unit for biomass such as food-waste, animal manure or energy crops.

  • Facilities dealing with mixed or semi-solid waste that need controlled discharge into treatment or digestion systems.

  • Installations where incoming material flow is irregular, and stable downstream feed is critical for process stability.

  • Projects in India where substrate characteristics (high fiber, variable moisture) demand robust, low-maintenance equipment.

Key Features & Highlights

  • Consistent Extraction: The live-bottom auger ensures uniform discharge, eliminating the risk of bridging common in traditional hoppers.
  • High Capacity & Buffering: Acceptance volumes up to 400 m³+ allow significant storage and flow smoothing of incoming material streams.
  • Robust Construction: Augers made of thick, painted iron; bottoms constructed from Hardox (anti-wear steel) for extremely abrasive materials.
  • Hygienic & Durable Surfaces: Material-contact surfaces in AISI 304L / 316L stainless steel with optional Duplex / Super-Duplex components ensure long life and low maintenance.
  • Versatile Applications: Suitable for biogas plant feed-in, organic waste buffering, compost input, food-industry by-product handling, and more.
  • Optional Features: Level sensors, anti-bridging elements and weighing systems can be integrated for precise dosing and automation.

Technical Snapshot

  • Storage capacity: up to 400 m³ and beyond depending on model.

  • Extraction mechanism: live-bottom auger (single or multiple) for uniform draw-down of materials.

  • Construction materials: augers in thick painted iron; bottoms in Hardox anti-wear steel; material contact surfaces in stainless steel (AISI 304L/316L). 

  • Optional automation: level sensors, anti-bridging devices, weigh scales for portion dosing.
