Bin aeration system for silo and hopper material flow
Optimize the flow of your stored powders and granules with an efficient aeration system, ensuring consistent discharge and preventing material blockages in storage vessels.
Maintains Consistent Powder Flow through Aeration
The Bin Aerators from Gericke are designed to prevent material compaction and ensure consistent flow in your storage systems. By introducing air directly into the stored powder mass, these aerators maintain optimal fluidization for applications in food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and heavy industries. These aerators operate with a typical effective radius of 300 mm and can easily be mounted using optional external plates. Available in cast iron or 316 stainless steel, they feature either a black Neoprene or optional white FDA-certified Neoprene boot for varied application needs. The aerators are compact and low-cost, requiring virtually no maintenance, making them an efficient choice for your production line. Whether you’re dealing with protein powder, cement, or pharmaceutical granules, Gericke’s Bin Aerators provide reliable performance and integration with existing processing, ensuring smooth operations from upstream feeding to downstream delivery.
