Surge Tank is offered in a variety of different sizes with two options. A live bottom auguring system, or a paddle mixing round bottom Paddle Mixing Surge Tank blending system. The live bottom has 4 directional, or bi-directional augers that keep the material moving, thus eliminating bridging that occurs with light or fluffy materials. The round bottom is an ideal tank for blending and mixing. A variable frequency drive controls the discharge into the pellet mill. Liquid additive system is available upon request.
