REVOLUTIONARY DESIGN • NO CLOGGING OR STICKING VALVE • MAINTENANCE FREE • SAFE • NOISELESS VIBCO'S AIR CANNON uses a new double piston valve concept to solve material flow problems. The VIBCO AIR CANNON will work safely and efficiently on normal plant air. 80 to 125 PSI is all that is required. No auxiliary compressors needed to provide high pressure. The VIBCO AIR CANNON is so simple that it has only one moving part. The VIBCO AIR CANNON will work safely and efficiently in any position, on any bin - thick concrete or light gauge steel - on any material from wood chips, pellets, chemicals,...

prevents material sticking to bin walls . . . The VIBCO AIR CANNON or AIR BLASTER consists of a high pressure tank storing compressed air (80-125 PSI) and a quick release piston valve which instantaneously on command releases the compressed air It is the new and simple double piston design that makes the big difference when compared to other air blasters using a close tolerance piston with 0-rings as a valve. The pistons in these swell and stick due to atmospheric change. After the blast the backlash may suck some of the bin material into the valve which also can cause the piston to stick....

There are two methods of selecting Air Cannons for your application. METHOD 1. Select for bin size. As a general rule, if the diameter of the bin-is: 2 to 6 feet diameter or side, use ABS 1-1/2. 10 to 15 feet use ABS 4-2, one for every 13-15 feet 16 to 20 feet use ABS 4-5. one for every 20-25 feet feet of circumference or perimeter. NOTE: If conditions permit, a larger air cannon can be used on a smaller bin than recommended. For example, 15' bin, two model ABS 4-5 can be used and placed 20- 25' apart instead of three model ABS 2 placed 13-15' For materials with densities less than 35...

VIBCO'S AIR SWEEPER SYSTEM The airsweep system consists of a spring loaded piston valve that instantaneously upon command, opens and releases compressed air bin side. The air blast reduces the friction between the bin material and the bin wall to prevent bridging, ratholing, packing and clinging of material to the walls. After firing, the valve closes and seals off the discharge opening preventing material from entering, making it material charges without The sweeper valve can operate in temperatures up to 9000° and be supplied in carbon or stainless steel. Two systems The Sweeper Valve is...

AVAILABLE ACCESSORIES MOUNTING ACCESSORIES All Air Cannons come complete with 3-way, 110/120 volt, 50/60 Hz Solenoid Valve and Quick Exhaust Valve. ABS-2 and ABS-4 Air Cannons also come with Safety Relief Safety Cable C.) Mounting Flange (Note: Mounting flange comes standard with "L" specify with order if longer dimensions required.) Back-up plate for wooden bin The complete installation is done easily and quickly Once the trouble area is determined, a hole is cut in the structure one inch larger than the release pipe of the air cannon. The mounting flange is then welded or bolted to the...

Company used cannons to maintain a continuous feed of bark and wood chips to fire boiler No bridging or packing over screw conveyors occurred. AIR CANNON & AIR VIBRATOR COMBO: Air Cannon moves material to feed chute where VS-320 air turbine keeps material moving. HOGGED FUEL BIN HAS 4 ABS-4-5: Lumber company installed air cannons to move the hogged fuel to the internal agitators reducing boiler down time. ABS-4-5 AIR CANNON ON CEMENT SILO: Long pipe was used to eliminate aerated cement from backing up in discharge pipe. ABS-4-2 ON WHEAT GLUTEN BIN: Material would cake up making discharge...
