Great interest is arising in the world of stored bulk material for AIRFLASH® compressed air cannons produced by Barra Project International Srl, entirely in Italy
How can AIRFLASH® optimize and streamline your production plant?
Solid material stored in silos and hoppers often forms blockages that prevent its discharge. The AIRFLASH® cannons generate shock waves directly into the stored material; these discharges of compressed air (Pmax 10bar) break up bridges and encrustations and prevent their formation. Thanks to the cleaning action of EOLO distribution grids, it allows you also to keep clean the internal walls of the storage structure, typically: silos, hoppers, load cells, etc.
The results of the application of AIRFLASH® cannons:
• Reduction of plant downtime: depending on the type of ensiled material and the extraction frequency, the cyclic activation of AIRFLASH® shots allows to counteract the bridging phenomenon, ensuring a constant flow of material from the storage structure and therefore a constant supply of material within the production line
• Efficiency of storage structures: AIRFLASH® is an excellent ally in eliminating the rat-holing phenomenon; the correct positioning of AIRFLASH® in fact allows to implement a good cleaning action on the internal surfaces of the storage structure. Another plus: unlike more traditional vibration systems, AIRFLASH® unblocks and fluidifies the material without subjecting the storage structure to vibrational stresses, thus extending its service life.
• Maintaining the quality of the ensiled material, reducing the risk of contamination between products of different nature that pass in succession: the cleaning action of AIRFLASH® prevents also the formation of dead zones of stagnation of the material. This aspect is fundamental in the case of storage of degradable organic materials.
• Protecting the safety of maintenance operators: AIRFLASH has a preventive action on the formation of blockages and therefore reduces, up to eliminating, the need for dangerous extraordinary maintenance interventions for the manual release of blockages.
What makes AIRFLASH unique?
AIRFLASH aircannons have an integrable modular structure that allows
1. To use the same cannon in different operating conditions by varying the accessories following Barra Project International’s philosophy of making re-use without product waste
2. To optimize the management of spare parts
3. To limit the risk of product obsolescence: each AIRFLASH aircannon currently in use can integrate new technological innovations without having to be replaced
4. To apply AIRFLASH near residential areas, thanks to the shot silencing measures.
