Industrial Air Cannon or Air Blaster for Bins, Hoppers, Bunkers and Silos to cause stubborn powders and bulk solids to consistently flow.

 

An industrial air cannon, or air blaster, is an air-expansion type flow-aid device that utilizes a pressure-rated reservoir of stored compressed air, from 4 - 8 barg equipped with a fast-acting, high-flow discharge valve which quitely supplies an instantaneous blast of air into bulk materials handling storage or process vessels, bins, silos, chutes or ducts. When strategically located and properly controlled (automatically or manually), the eruptive force of the air blaster de-clogs, dislogdes, or prevents bulk solids build-up and blockage that chokes plant productivity and efficiency.

 

The air cannons are connected to the vessel or chute walls via strategically located pipes and engineered nozzles, which are positioned to direct the blast energy toward the outlet or direction of flow. The number of air cannons needed, their installation locations, and their firing sequence is based on the size and shape of the vessel, chute, or duct, the flow properties of the powder or bulk solid being distrupted, and the type of bulk solids flow problems that exists, ie, arching, bridging, clinging, or rat-holing / tunneling. Air Blasters are regularly used for bin cleaning, bin de-clogging, and as bridge breakers to activate bulk solids flow in hoppers, silos, and chutes.

 

All the blasters are designed according to ASME Standards.
