The Pulsonic Bin Activator Solves Tough Material Flow Problems

A Case In Point

THE PROBLEM ...Wood chips, sawdust and sanding fines were constantly "bridging" in the 10 ft. sq. x 20 ft. high hopper with a screw feed discharge ... particularly during periods of high humidity. These stoppages continually interrupted the fuel supply to a 75 h.p. waste wood boiler.

THE REMEDY... ...A Pulsonic Bin Activator system of one programmer and two injectors. The program selected was to pulse simultaneously directly into the material with a 50 millisecond blast, 30 millisecond off time and a second 50 millisecond blast to complete the program. This program is automatically repeated every 15 minutes.

THE RESULTS ...Since installation in November 1977, there has not been a material flow interruption in the hopper. The system operates continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The installation uses only 35 S.C.F. of air per hour!
