Single impact pneumatic hammers for flow aids
Handling bulk solids in processing plants often involves issues like bridging or rat-holing, where materials clump together or stick to container walls. These problems can cause material flow blockages and disrupt operations, necessitating frequent manual intervention or alternative flow aid solutions.
Efficiently interrupt material flow blockages
The PS Single Impact Pneumatic Hammers by WAMGROUP are designed to address common bulk solid handling issues such as bridging and rat-holing. This system generates a shockwave through a single impact of an internal piston on a metallic base welded onto the container wall, which is effective for materials that tend to pack under pressure or adhere to the walls. These hammers are particularly suitable for retrofitting existing cones or hoppers since they do not require drilling of the container wall. The operation of these hammers should be intermittent, with pressures ranging from 3 to 6 bar (44 to 87 PSI). The robust design, made of galvanized steel POM, makes them suitable for both outdoor and indoor applications. The hammers come with a mounting plate for secure installation and a safety chain to prevent accidental dropping. Available in three sizes, these hammers can be customized with accessories such as coils in different voltages, noise reduction kits, and ATEX-compliant options for explosive environments.
