Abstract
An extensive research project to derive
guidelines for the design of a reliable
bin-feeder system for biomass materials has been
completed. The new system uses a converging
mass flow hopper with a much smaller outlet and
discharge feeder compared to existing systems.
A reliable and economical system with a superior
performance has been achieved. Two existing hog
fuel storage bins in pulp mills have been
successfully modified, based on the new design.
