  Vibra-Jet™
Bin Aerator
Model K Series
683
Restores material
flowability at low cost
The
Model K Vibra-Jet bin aerator, when installed on any storage
silo, bin or hopper, can be extremely versatile and effective
in getting dry bulk materials, like fine cement, to gravity feed
more reliably at a very low cost. Materials which tend to pack,
bridge or hang up can be made to flow freely and instantly upon
demand.
Balances the natural negative pressures during discharge
Model K Vibra-Jet bin aerators installed at strategic
locations on a discharge cone of a storage silo, bin or hopper
direct high or low pressure compressed air along the bin wall
to reduce the coefficient of friction which exists between the
bin wall and the stored material. The compressed air, which is
injected in short high-pressure bursts, fully balances the natural
negative pressures created during the normal discharge process.
By controlling the compressed air pressure and volume, materials
once thought to be difficult to handle now gravity feed easily,
quickly and automatically.
Maximizes
performance and energy
Because
every material is unique to itself, the Model K Vibra-Jet bin
aerator has the extreme flexibility to throttle the compressed
air as required to handle almost any dry bulk solid material
which is finer than 20 mesh (800 micron), regardless of its bulk
density. This feature also maximizes process performance and
minimizes the compressed air demand, plus it reduces the overall
energy requirements.
Three seals
extend life and reliability
Some
unique construction features have been designed into the Model
K Vibra-Jet bin aerator to prevent backfeeding and truly set
it apart from all other types of bin aerators available. This
is extremely important because as the very fine dry bulk materials
become fluidized and more flowable they can, under certain circumstances,
backfeed into the air source. To prevent this from happening,
the Model K Vibra-Jet bin aerator has incorporated three seals.
A primary seal at the outer edge and a secondary seal next to
it provide an almost impermeable wall to prevent material from
trying to backfeed under the gasket. Then, a third and final
seal backs up the other two to provide additional assurance against
possible backfeeding, even under the most severe of applications.
This provides added reliability and extends the life dramatically.
