Bin aeration system for silo and hopper material flow
When dealing with stored powders in silos or hoppers, you might face issues where settled material becomes dense and behaves like a solid mass, hindering smooth flow. This challenge can disrupt processes and require time-consuming manual intervention to resolve.
Improve material flow in storage containers
The Bin Aerator from Gericke is designed to fluidize stored powders in bins, hoppers, and silos, without causing damaging vibrations. It works by continuously introducing air into the mass of stored powder, replacing naturally lost air and maintaining the air-to-particulate mixture ratio. This prevents the material from settling and becoming dense, ensuring it remains flowable. With a typical effective radius of 300 mm (12 inches), it is easy to mount using the optional external mounting plate. The compact and low-cost design requires virtually no maintenance, and it is available in both cast iron and 316 stainless steel with either a black Neoprene boot or an optional white FDA Neoprene boot for food applications.
