General Each Airslide Aeration Unit Package consists of standard FLSmidth 8-inch (200 mm) open type Airslide conveyor units in lengths of 5 and 10 feet (1.5 and 3 m) depending on the slope length of the conical storage area. Each package consists of three or six Airslide conveyor units for layout as three or six spoke patterns. Three spoke patterns are normally used with materials which have good fluidizable characteristics. Six spoke patterns provide maximum aeration for difficult materials which can be fluidized. Airslide conveyor units have been successfully used in handling fine, dry materials such as cement, gypsum, soda ash, fly ash and dusts, barites, bentonite, ...
(2) General Floor-mounted aeration units are normally used for installation on the flat or sloping floor of silos and are constructed with a pressed steel casing into which the aeration plate is cemented.
Flange-mounted aeration units employ a cast iron casing with flanged face for surface mounting on the bin cone or slope sheets.
Both types utilize a porous ceramic plate as the basic aeration element and are fitted with standard pipe connections to admit the fluidizing air. The aeration units can be used with materials up to 400°F (200°C). Units also feature replaceable filter elements for greater economy. Air requirements:15 cfm (0.42 cmm) at 3 psi (0.21 Kg/cm2)
The Fullerator™ aeration pad solves even the most difficult material flow problems by combining aeration with vibration. The rubber pad creates an aggressive vibration on the vessel floor or wall as the result of airflow. Vibration is very effective to enhance flow for all types of dry bulk materials.
(13) The general arrangement drawing provided illustrates the approximate location and usage of standard equipment items available for pneumatic trailer unloading operations. All items are size for use on 4-inch (100 mm) I.D. pipeline.
Filters offered are UNI-FILTER dust collectors which are open-bottom and flanged for easy installation on the roof of storage areas. Normally, these filters are selected on the basis of fan capacity of the collector being approximately twice the truck blower capacity. Standard unit sizes 2FM, 3FM and 4FM can satisfy most intermittent filtering requirements. The Watch-dog Timer should be specified for the appropriate voltage to control collector cleaning cycle.
