WHY BINS PLUG
The Three Root Causes of Bin Plugging and Inconsistent Discharge
Good bin and feeder design starts with understanding the three root causes of bin plugging.




THE KAMENGO FEEDER
Designed to handle your most difficult
flowing materials
The Kamengo Feeder was developed in response to the common shortfalls of conventional feeders that make them susceptible to chronic plugging when handling a difficult flowing material. What makes the Kamengo Feeder different is that it withdraws material evenly from its entire opening and that it can be made as wide as needed and as long as desired. These key features of the Kamengo Feeder are necessary when handling a difficult flowing material, but are difficult to replicate with conventional technologies.

Kamengo Labs was established in the early 1980s to investigate the root causes of uneven feed and bin plugging, as well as to further the development of scientifically-grounded methods for designing storage bins and feeders.

KamengoU is a library of videos and whitepapers geared to teaching designers and engineers the physics and theory governing good bin and feeder design. We want you to understand the “why” behind your problem so that you can understand the “why” behind our solution.
