AirSweep® material flow systems provide on-demand flow of even the toughest materials by eliminating bridging, ratholes and build-up. Each powerful pulse of the AirSweep nozzle directs a high-pressure/high-volume, 360-degree burst of compressed air or gas between the material and vessel wall to lift and sweep stagnated material back into the flow stream.
Benefits of an AirSweep® System:
- - Patented valve design utilizes only one moving part, ensuring an immediate reseal after each pulse to prevent clogging and material build-up.
- - Each pulse activates material up to an 8 foot diameter for a first-in, first-out controlled flow, facilitating use of full bin capacity.
- - Reduces flushing/cleaning time between product runs and improves batch uniformity.
- - System is mounted on the outside of the vessel for easy cleaning and maintenance.
- - Energy efficient – uses plant air.
- - No damage, vibration, stress or wear to container walls.
- - Mount to metal, concrete, fiberglass or wood vessels.
- - Manufactured from high grade steel for long service life.
