Sliding Frames / Silos – Existing – Schwing Bioset

Schwing Bioset, Inc., the leader in storage, conveyance and pumping of municipal biosolids presents our proven line of sliding frame and push floor storage handling systems. Available in circular or rectangular designs, sliding frames and push floors provide a low cost method to store both large and small quantities of biosolids.

The simplicity and reliability of the sliding frame technology has quickly made this a preferred technology of wastewater treatment plants. Actuated by a small hydraulic power pack the sliding frame eliminates the need for large gear boxes, spur gears and the other maintenance intensive components associated with traditional live bottom technology. The hydraulic drive actuates a hydraulic cylinder to move the sliding frame across the silo floor. The leading beveled edge of the sliding frame cuts underneath the biosolids and the flat surface on the interior feeds the material into the extraction screw. This process breaks any material bridging that may occur in the extraction screw feed zone.

Features of sliding frame and push floor technology:
• Vertical silo and bin walls eliminate the potential for material bridging.
• Versatile technology that can be used for truck receiving, intermediate storage or truck loading
• Allows for single or multiple discharge points to evenly load trailers
• Designed for any capacity
• Minimal maintenance – nothing inside to service.
