INDUSTRIAL AIR CANNONS FOR MATERIAL ACTIVATION: PROS AND CONS

Industrial Air cannons are a pneumatic flow aid. In a typical application, air is compressed to 100 psi in a tank. When triggered, the valve opens and releases a high-magnitude blast that displaces stalled material.

DO INDUSTRIAL AIR CANNONS WORK?

Industrial Air cannons have a lot of power, but no control and limited results.

• Air tends to “channel” through holes in the material, greatly diminishing effectiveness Cannot control feed rates
• It can clear material blocks, but not prevent them
• Material build-up on bin walls still requires manual cleaning
