Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can the Flow Pro Bin Agitator be installed on existing bins? Can it be installed on a bin full of feed?
   Yes. Flow Pro can be installed on either new or existing bulk feed bins – either full or empty. The impact-resistant plastic agitator guides used to hold the agitator assembly in place are designed such that only a minimal amount of feed is lost during installation on full bins. Flow Pro kits that include a new plastic upper transition (or plastic boot) can only be installed on empty bins.
2. Does Flow Pro really eliminate feed bridging or does it simply eliminate feed clumps?
   Rigorous testing with a variety of feedstuffs has shown Flow Pro not only destroys feed clumps that can plug the lines of auger-style feed delivery systems, but also eliminate feed bridging from starting in the first place. Eliminating feed bridging with Flow Pro also allows for first-in, first-out feed flow from bins to animals. It sometimes takes a short amount of time to eliminate existing bridged feed and get it freely flowing if it has been inside a bin for a long period of time. Otherwise, product testing and customer testimonials proves Flow Pro can actually eliminate feed bridging so workers never have to exit buildings to “bang” on bins.
3. Does Flow Pro work with special feeds like soybean meal or DDGs?
   Some feedstuffs simply do not flow well owing to their moisture or fat content. These difficult feeds do bridge in bulk feed tanks – no matter what device is used to assist with feed flow. In these instances, the Flow Pro will definitely not hinder feed flow, but may not always eliminate feed bridging.
