Airbrator

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Airbrator combines aeration and vibration to enhance material flow in various applications. It is designed to address challenging material flow issues in silos, bins, and other storage vessels by creating a vibration as air flows between the pad's boot and the bin wall.

Features:

Economical and durable construction.
Easy installation and self-cleaning.
Suitable for abrasive materials and can use low or high-pressure air (5 to 60 PSIG).
Promotes material flow through vibratory action.
Compatible with granular or powdered materials.
Stainless steel shaft and food-grade materials.
Operates in temperatures up to 250˚F.

Applications: The Airbrator is suitable for use in silos, bins, hoppers, railcars, trucks, dust collectors, and bag dump stations. It effectively solves flow problems with sticky materials or those with a high angle of repose.

Specifications:

Components include a 303 stainless steel aeration stud, plated flat washer, hex nut, white sealing washer, and a silicone or neoprene pad.
All pads meet ASTM standards and are FDA-approved for food-grade applications.

Operation:

Air On: Air introduced through the Airbrator pad fluidizes the material, preventing it from getting under the boot and causing vibration to aid material flow.
Air Off: The boot is pressed against the bin side, preventing material from entering the air supply line.

Air Consumption: The required CFM is calculated based on the on-time per minute, air flow at supply pressure, and the number of pads. For example, with two pads at 20 PSIG and 5 seconds on-time per minute, the CFM is 2.70.

Technical Diagram: The document includes a diagram detailing the Airbrator's components, such as the center shaft, rubber pad, built-in check valve, and sealing washer.

AIRBRATORS combines aeration and vibration to solve even the most difficult material flow applications. The special design creates a vibration as the air flows between the pad’s boot and bin wall. This provides a very effective flow aid for all types of dry products. Plus, Airbrator pads do not require a specific air pressure for operation. You may use air from as low as 5 PSIG to high-pressure air up to 60 PSIG.
