ENMIIN ACV2 2" Air Canon
Blaster Knock Goyen Pulse Jet Valve CA20T010-300
An air cannon, also known as an air blaster or air knockers, is a flow-aid device that is used to prevent and clear blockages in the bulk material handling process. These blockages can occur in various structures like hoppers, silos, chutes, and stockpiles, where dry bulk materials are stored and moved.
When materials such as grains, coal, or other particulates flow through these structures, they may not move smoothly due to their inherent properties or because of the design of the storage and handling facilities. As a result, they can form blockages such as:
Rat holes: A funnel-shaped flow channel that develops in a material, with the material outside this channel remaining stationary.
Arches or bridges: Where the material forms a self-supported arch above the outlet of a storage container, preventing further flow.
Clinging material: Material that sticks to the walls of hoppers, bins, or silos due to moisture, static charge, or other reasons.
An air cannon system helps to overcome these blockages by delivering powerful blasts of compressed air directly into the problematic area of the bulk material handling system. The sudden expansion of air acts like a shockwave that dislodges the material, breaking apart blockages and promoting the free flow of material.
The operation of an air cannon is usually automated and can be triggered by timers or by sensors that detect when a blockage is forming. The main components of an air cannon system include:
Pressure vessel: Stores the compressed air and is equipped with a fast-acting valve.
Triggering mechanism: A system to release the air quickly when needed.
Nozzle: Directs the air blast into the stored material.
Air cannons are an efficient and safe solution for material flow problems because they do not require direct human intervention to clear blockages once installed, and they reduce the need for mechanical tools or chemical agents that might otherwise be used to maintain flow. This makes the bulk material handling process more reliable and less labor-intensive.
