BIN AERATORS

BIN AERATORS

Product catalog summary
Applications
The document discusses the use of Bin Aerators for effective aeration of dry bulk materials in bins, hoppers, and silos. It suggests using four rows of Bin Aerators, each located in a quadrant of the sloping bin bottom. For dry powders, aerators are spaced 18 inches apart, with the lowest units near the outlet. For granular materials, placement varies based on material and bin configuration. Consultation with application engineers is recommended for specific material flow issues.
Advantages
Bin Aerators have a typical effective radius of 300 mm (12 inches) and are easy to mount with an optional external mounting plate. They are compact, low-cost, and require virtually no maintenance. Available materials include cast iron or 316 stainless steel, with a choice of black Neoprene or optional white FDA Neoprene boots.
Principle of Operation
The aerator works by continuously introducing air into stored powder, maintaining the air-to-particulate mixture ratio. This prevents the material from settling into a solid mass, allowing it to flow more easily.
Specifications
  • Air Supply: Continuous clean, dry air at 200 to 350 mbar (3 to 5 psid).
  • Air Consumption: Typically 200 mbar (3 psi) / 85 l/min (3 scfm).
  • Materials of Construction: Body made of cast iron or 316 stainless steel; optional mild steel mounting plate; cork gasket for mounting plate; standard black Neoprene boot or optional white FDA Neoprene boot; optional sintered metal insert in bronze for high temperatures.
  • Air Inlet Connection: 1/2" NPT coupling.

BIN AERATORS-1

Erasscr ImlakHion VWh Mujnlirig Plato EVA5SER tf/UOUMTiNC plate and [ia$k£I COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE 1/4-20 SELF tapping screws + Applications The most effective aeration of dry bulk materials is typically achieved by the use of four rows of Bin Aerators, one row located in each quadrant of the slopping bin bottom. With aerating dry powders the Bin Aerators will normally be spaced 18in on centers, with the lowermost units located close to the outlet where most of the bridging starts. On granular materials the location of the Bin Aerators will vary with the material being aerated and the configuration of the bin. In all cases, please consult with our application engineers that are ready to provide you with the best recommendation for your specific material flow problem. + Advantages • Typical effective radius of 300 mm (12 inches) • Easy to mount with optional external mounting plate • Compact and low cost with virtually no maintenance • Available in cast iron or 316 stainless steel • Black Neoprene boot or optional white FDA Neoprene boot + Principle of Operation The single Bin aerator operates by continuously introducing air into a mass of stored powder. When first conveyed into a storage vessel, the powder is a highly aerated mixture of air and particulate. In this state, the mixture flows quite easily. As the material settles, the particulate and air separate. The material decreases in volume and increases in density (it packs), and in turn it begins to behave like one solid mass rather than a fluid mixture of particles. The aerator replaces the naturally lost air and increases and maintains the air-to-particulate mixture ratio, thus allowing the material to flow.
