In the transition section from round to rectangle above the discharger, bran build-ups occur on a regular basis to full blockage of the extraction and therefore the production output.
Bridging occurs from the beginning of the cone to the discharge.
Following a technical study, Standard Industrie proposed to place 4 AirchocĀ® air cannons on the silo.
Standard Industrie guaranteed that no blockages and bridging problems will occur as long as the AirchocĀ® is in use, according to the predetermined location and firing sequence.
Since February 2021, the AirchocĀ® are in operation and providing good results.
The customer also ordered 12 x AirchocĀ® for a 4 compartments soya silo.
The AIRCHOCĀ® 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 AIRCHOCĀ®, 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.
