Pneumatic hammers for aiding material flow

In industries such as feed, food processing, and construction, materials often tend to bridge or rat-hole in silos and hoppers. This can cause significant downtime and operational inefficiencies, necessitating a reliable solution to ensure consistent material flow.

Prevent bridging and rat-holing

The MARTSHOCK PS Single Impact Pneumatic Hammers by WAMGROUP are designed to generate a shockwave through a single impact of an internal piston on a metallic base. This shockwave is particularly effective in cases where powders tend to pack under pressure or stick to the hopper or silo walls. Suitable for retrofitting existing cones or hoppers, the MARTSHOCK PS hammers do not require drilling of the walls. They operate intermittently at pressures ranging from 3 to 6 bar (44 ~ 87 PSI). The activation sequence should start from the bottom hammers and progressively move upwards to ensure efficient material flow. Made from galvanized steel and POM, these hammers are robust and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. A mounting plate and safety chain come standard with the hammers to facilitate easy installation and maintenance. Available in three different sizes, the MARTSHOCK PS also offers additional accessories including coils in various voltages, noise reduction kits, and a timer to adjust blast periods. These hammers are ATEX compliant, making them suitable for potentially explosive environments.

Benefits

  • Enhanced material flow in silos and hoppers
  • Easy retrofitting without wall drilling
  • Robust design for indoor and outdoor use
  • Suitable for explosive environments (ATEX compliant)
  • Adjustable operation pressure and blast periods
