I'm having problems finding literature on flow of bulk solids in a bin with both a side discharge and a bottom discharge.Where can I find any information about this? Thank you very much.

Please scan the eLibrary at http://www.bulk-online.com/ELIB/index.php on this website for keywords like Silos, Bins, Side Discharge etc. and perhaps you find worthwhile information.

Side-discharge from a bin or a silo results in very high stresses on bin walls. It should be avoided unless you have expertise in the mechanical design of side-discharge bins and silos. If unavoidable, you should use experts such as Jenike and Johanson for their design.
