Abstract: Bin outlet inserts, and systems and methods employing bin outlet inserts for discharging materials are disclosed herein. For example, the bin outlet insert can be a transition device internal to and installed at a bottom of the bin that allows the circular outlet of a bin to be converted to a rectangular outlet (e.g., square outlet).
