'''Aerator Pads''' will help with uniform flow and discharge of dry bulk materials through aeration and [[Hoppers|hopper]] wall vibration. It prevents bridging, rat holing and compacting in storage [[silos]], dust collectors, weigh [[bins]] and [[IBC's]]. | '''Aerator Pads''' will help with uniform flow and discharge of dry bulk materials through aeration and [[Hoppers|hopper]] wall vibration. It prevents bridging, rat holing and compacting in storage [[silos]], dust collectors, weigh [[bins]] and [[IBC's]]. Aeration pads are simple to use, low cost flow aids. Pads introduce low volume air into the powder through a non-clogging diffuser. | ||
==Principle of Operations== | |||
Aerator Pads operates by continuously introducing air into the body of the dry powder. When a powder is first conveyed into a storage vessel it is actually a highly aerated mixture of air and particulate. In this state the mixture flows quite readily. However, as the powder settles the solid particulate and air separate resulting in a decrease in volume and an increase in bulk density. In this deaerated state powders can behave more like a single large solid structure rather than a fluid-like mixture. By replacing the naturally lost air, the air to particulate mixture ratio is held thus maintaining the fluid like characteristic of the aerated powder. | |||
