How does the batcher vent work?
The batcher vent is ducted to the exhaust of the weigh hopper. The shaker motor of the batcher vent is wired to the weigh hopper discharge valve. When the silo dumps product into the weigh hopper, the dust enters the batcher vent. After the silo discharge valve closes, the material in the weigh hopper is weighed. When the weigh hopper discharge valve opens, the batcher vent shaker motor turns on. The discharge valve is open for approximately 15-30 seconds which is enough time to shake down the bags.
