The customer also ordered 12 x Airchoc® for a 4 compartments soya silo.
The AIRCHOC® patented device is designed to eliminate flow problems occurring in bins, silos, hoppers and chutes when bridging and rat-holing.
A volume of accumulated compressed air, from 4 to 400 liters, according to the type of AIRCHOC®, is instantly discharged through a large outlet pipe, directly connected to the storage unit. The result of this force impact into the material corresponds to a shock-wave due to the sudden release of the compressed- air.
