Product catalog summary
Overview
The Vibra-Jet® Bin Aerator is designed to restore flowability to bulk granular materials stored in bins, silos, or surge hoppers by releasing controlled amounts of compressed air in a circular pattern. This process promotes gravity feed and prevents materials from packing, bridging, or hanging up.

Key Features
  • Aerates along bin walls to reduce friction and enhance material flow.
  • Easy installation with optional mountings and materials of construction.
  • Abrasion-resistant and self-cleaning anti-clog design.
  • Vibrating action prevents material build-up.

Mounting Arrangement
Vibra-Jet bin aerators are installed near discharge openings in a circular pattern and in tiers to ensure air reaches the discharge point. The number of aerators required depends on the material's tendency to hang up and the shape of the storage silo or bin. Typically, aerators are installed with overlapping air discharge patterns.

Specifications
  • Standard materials: carbon steel and black rubber for Model D, aluminum for Models E and F.
  • Optional materials available for specific applications.
  • Operating temperature: standard 150°F (66°C), optional up to 350°F (177°C).
  • Shipping weight: Model D - 6 oz (0.20 kg); Models E or F - 2 lbs (0.90 kg).

Operation
High-pressure compressed air is introduced in timed bursts to coincide with the discharge process, dislodging stored material and keeping it moving. The rubber boot vibrates to maintain cleanliness, and minimal compressed air is required due to short burst durations.

Air Requirements
The air pressure ranges from 20 to 100 PSIG, with corresponding air volumes from 10 to 75 SCFM. The minimum operating pressure is 20 PSIG, and the chart provides approximate air consumption due to variable material characteristics.

Vibra-Jet Bin Aerator Series 264-1

Vibra-Jet Bin Aerator Series 264 Restores flowability to bulk materials ® The Vibra-Jet bin aerator releases a controlled amount of compressed air in a circular pattern to promote gravity feed of bulk granular materials stored in bins, silos or surge hoppers. Induced aeration restores flowability to bulk materials that tend to pack during storage. It also promotes free flow of materials that tend to bridge or hang up. Aerates along bin walls Unlike other bin aerators, the Vibra-Jet bin aerator’s air action fluidizes bulk material and gets it moving faster by aerating along bin walls. This provides a lower coefficient of friction between the wall and stored material and improves material flow. Air action not only keeps bin and hopper walls cleaner, but greatly reduces friction and greatly enhances mass flow of stored materials. Bulk materials such as bentonite, fly ash, flour, cement, feldspar, soda ash, clay, alumina or any powder finer than 20 mesh will gravity feed faster and more completely. Features Aerates along bin walls Easily installed with optional mountings Optional materials of construction Abrasion resistant design Self-cleaning anti-clog design Vibrating action prevents build-up Mounting Arrangement Vibra-Jet bin aerators are installed near the discharge openings of silos, hopper or bins. Vibra-Jet bin aerators are placed in a circular pattern and in tiers so air will reach the discharge opening. More Vibra-Jet bin aerators may be required when handling materials that have a tendency to hang up or build up. The shape of the storage silo or bin is also a factor in determining the number of Vibra-Jet bin aerators required. Vibra-Jet bin aerators should be installed no closer together than 12 inches center to center for most applications. Typically, units are installed so each air discharge pattern overlaps the ones on either side in a single row installation. In multi-tier installations, the overlap should extend upward as well. Upon request, Dynamic Air will assist you in designing a Vibra-Jet aeration system with optimum performance for your silo, bin or hopper.

How the Vibra-Jet bin aerator works High-pressure compressed air is introduced into the bin through the Vibra-Jet bin aerator in timed bursts to coincide with the start of the discharge process. The positive flow of compressed air dislodges the stored material and keeps it moving. In addition to cleaning material from the bin walls, the rubber boot vibrates slightly to keep itself clean. Since the bursts of compressed air are generally less than 1/2 second, very little compressed air is required. Dimensions and specifications 1. Standard construction materials are carbon steel and black rubber...
