Pneumatic Flow Aids

For use in large storage vessels which can handle large amounts of pressure. Best for high-entanglement applications such as wood chips. Quietly supplies an instantaneous blast of air to de-clog, dislodge, or prevent bulk solids build-up and blockage. Choose single-valve and multi-valve systems to manage several bins, kilns, silos, or hoppers simultaneously.

Aerators and fluidizers use low-pressure compressed air to promote consistent material flow in bins, silos, hoppers, and dry bulk trailers. Available as complete assemblies, replacement discs, boots, stems, fittings, filters, cones, and related accessories, these components help reduce bridging, ratholing, packing, and unloading delays without aggressive vibration. Properly selected aeration equipment supports cleaner, safer, and more reliable bulk material handling.

Pulsed-Air Flow Stimulators use short, controlled bursts of compressed air to break material-to-wall friction and restore the movement of powders and bulk solids. Installed on bins, silos, hoppers, chutes, and process vessels, they act directly at the vessel wall without continuously aerating the material or mechanically vibrating the structure itself.

Diffuse low-pressure air into a silo, bin, or hopper to promote flow of dry, fine materials and prevent buildup. Aeration pads can be easily retrofitted into an existing system form outside the vessel, are inexpensive, and adapt to any bin configuration.

Low-frequency, high-pressure energy sound waves can vibrate dry particulates without vibrating the steel, ceramic, or concrete vessel where the particulates are stored. Sonic horns are appropriate where particulate build-up must be removed from filter bags, precipitators, ducts, spray dryers, cyclones, and exchangers, and for some bridging and side-wall build-up problems in storage vessels.

Our advanced programmable timers and controllers provide flexible scheduling options, allowing for routine or on-demand activation of bin aerators, air cannons, and sonic horns. By effectively addressing common flow problems associated with particulates, powders, and bulk solids, our solutions ensure smoother operations and reduce downtime. The intuitive interfaces make setup and adjustments quick and easy, while the robust construction guarantees long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments. Ideal for industries such as mining, agriculture, and manufacturing, our programmable timers and controllers are essential tools for enhancing productivity and minimizing energy and maintenance costs.
