Fluidisers For Free Flowing Vessels
Air fluidisers are small and simple cone shaped components that solve bulk dry powder and granular material flow problems, acting as a flow aid. Bridging, caking, compacting and rat-holing are common reoccurring problems in large vessels including silos, hoppers and bins. A simple solution for solving this issue is to install air fluidisers around the vessel, which give off a gentle vibration using low volume directional airflow and aeration. This vibration and aeration clears away any trapped or clogged media from around the internal walls of the vessel, creating a free flowing hopper.
Silo fluidisers are extremely cost effective, and research has shown that only a limited number of the fluidiser units often need to be installed for instant, faster powder discharge flow. A typical installation layout of the aerator pads is shown below.Visit the AKO UK Ltd website for more information on Aeration Fluidisers for Silos, Bins & Hoppers
