- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in your aggregate bins for durability?
**A**: Our aggregate bins are constructed from structural steel for strength and wear-resistant steel plate in high-impact areas to withstand abrasion from materials like sand, gravel, and crushed stone, ensuring long-term durability in industrial settings.

### Q: How do the discharge gates and level sensors improve efficiency in concrete batching plants?
**A**: Discharge gates provide controlled material flow for precise batching, while level sensors monitor aggregate volume to prevent overfilling or shortages, optimizing plant operations and reducing downtime.

### Q: Can these aggregate bins be customized for specific non-metallic mineral products?
**A**: Yes, our aggregate bins can be tailored in size, capacity, and configuration to suit various materials like sand, gravel, or crushed stone, with options for additional features like specialized liners or multiple compartments.
