Solimar Pneumatics

Solimar Pneumatics has announced a new method of installation for their Fluidizer disks. Now upgrading to the superior aeration of the Solimar Fluidizer can be accomplished easily for silos, hoppers and bins. The new Fast-Fit Kit only requires a small two-inch diameter hole to be drilled. The Fluidizer is then inserted from outside the vessel. An alignment plate correctly positions the Fluidizer stem for easy attachment and a retaining cable assists in trouble-free installation of gasket, washer and nut.

Solimar is a leading supplier of disk-type Fluidizers for the fast discharge of powder and bulk solids for many applications including silos, hoppers, bins and trailers. The Fluidizers are effective at preventing rat-holing and bridging by utilizing air pressure to move the material while gently vibrating the vessel wall.

Product advantages include superior sealing properties, optimized air volume and an original durable design that will not tear, crack, wear prematurely or clog like fabric pads. FDA approved materials are used for food compatibility with models that operate in temperatures up to 450˚ F (230˚C). A metallic detectable version is also available for food applications.

Numerous combinations of stems, fittings and airlines are available with models for high pressure/low volume or low pressure/high volume air systems. For more information, contact Solimar Pneumatics 1-800-233-7109 or visit the multi-language website www.solimarpneumatics.com.

Processors of dry bulk materials can improve discharge efficiency in silos, bins, weigh hoppers and filters while conserving compressed air with the Solimar Fluidizer Control System. This timer-controlled system allows adjustment of airflow intervals and duration resulting in reduced compressed air consumption and energy savings.

The system works with Solimar’s patented disk-type Fuidizers proven in thousands of dry bulk applications. The silicone disks provide uniform flow along the bin wall and discharge through aeration and hopper vibration to prevent rat-holing, bridging and compacting. The durable disk Fluidizers design will not tear, harden or crack. The Control System can be used to adjust from one to  32 Fluidizers.

With the System, Fluidizers can be operated only when needed. Pulsating the Fluidizers through the solid-state controller provides more effective movement of dry bulk materials and alternating airflow to the Fluidizers can assist in more complete discharge. Solimar provides recommendations for placement of aerators and controller operation based on successful applications with more than 120 dry bulk materials.

The complete Control package is delivered with enclosed timer control boards,  air surge tanks, solenoids, air regulators, tubing, fittings and installation/operating instructions. Solimar Fluidizers are available in two diameters (4” and 2”) with numerous combinations of stems, fitting and airlines including high pressure/low volume or low pressure/high volume. Material compatible silicone rubber in blue or white (FDA approved) or black or white EPDM (FDA approved) and Orange Silicone for temps to 450°F (230°C). Metal detectable Fluidizers are also available.

Solimar Pneumatics, Minneapolis, MN, a leader in the dry bulk handling industry, recently introduced a new high-temperature fluidizer disk.  Used to promote the discharge of dry powders from storage silos, dust collectors, weigh bins and filters, this new fluidizer withstands temperatures from -50° to 450°F (-45°to 230°C).  This severe conditions performance provides piece of mind for storage and transport of fly ash storage, cement manufacturing and steel mill applications.   

Solimar offers a family of silo fluidizers that enable a uniform flow of most dry bulk materials through aeration and hopper wall vibration. The fluidizer disk distributes air along the bin wall, freeing up product evenly and efficiently while minimum back pressure ensures energy is directed within the walls of the silo or storage container. 

Gentle vibration aids in product flow and ensures no compacting or plugging.  The patented silicone rubber disk seals tightly against the silo wall to prevent airline plugging and will not tear or pick up moisture. These combined performance characteristics help prevent bridging, rat holing and compacting.   

Solimar Pneumatics specializes in dry bulk handling products including silo fluidizers, hopper access doors, disk and plate fluidizers for trailers and automatic manhole covers for trailers.  Contact Solimar Pneumatics, 7256 Commerce Circle Minneapolis, MN 55432.  Call 1-800-233-7109 or visit them online at www.solimarpneumatics.com.

Solimar Pneumatics bietet eine Familie von Silo-Auflockerungsventilen zur besseren Entleerung von Trockenprodukten aus Lagersilos, Staubabscheidern, Wägetrichtern und IBCs. Solimar-Auflockerungsventile ermöglichen einen gleichmäßigen Strom der meisten Schüttgutmaterialien durch Belüftung und Vibrationen der Trichterwand, wodurch Brücken- und Schachtbildungen sowie jegliches Verfestigen verhindert werden.
 

• Schnelles Entleeren von Silos mit Solimar-Auflockerungsventilen.
• Belüftung: Lockert das Produkt, damit es in den Silo fließen kann. Durch minimalen Gegendruck wird die Energie dort gebündelt, wo sie am meisten benötigt wird.
• Gerichtete Luftströmung: Forciert die Luft die Trichterwand entlang, lockert das Produkt auf und gewährleistet eine ordentliche Entleerung.
• Sanfte Vibration: Hält das Produkt in Bewegung, so dass es sich weder verfestigen noch Verstopfungen verursachen kann.
• Kein Verstopfen der Luftleitungen: Patentierte Scheibe dichtet die Silowand gut ab und verhindert ein Verstopfen der Luftleitung.
• Robustes Design: Reißt bei Schnitten nicht, nimmt keine Feuchtigkeit auf und lässt sich von Temperaturen bis 170 °C nicht beeindrucken.
• Mit zahlreichen Materialien kompatibel: Standardmäßiger Silikonkautschuk in blau oder weiß (beide Varianten sind lebensmitteltauglich/von der USDA zugelassen), oder schwarzer oder weißer EPDM-Kautschuk.
• Vielseitigkeit: Zahlreiche Kombinationen aus Spindeln, Anschlüssen und Luftleitungen, von denen eine auch für Ihre Anwendung passt. Zum Gebrauch mit Hochdruck-/Niedervolumenluft oder Niederdruck-/Hochvolumen-Gebläseluft.
• Einfacher Einbau. Passt in konische und quadratische Silos. Für den Einbau von außen stehen EZ-In (Easy-In) Kits zur Verfügung.
