Floor Plan

The Air knocker series (direct impact type) are unique equipment in which the force of compressed air causes the piston to strike the hopper wall surface directly and energetically, which eliminate the adhesion or clogging of powder. In addition, this knocker is excellent in safety and economics because it can be used only by air supply, and it can be used safely for powder that has a characteristic to show adhesion when receiving the centrifugal force. While the indirect impact type strikes the mounted knocker base at a predetermined position, the air knocker is used in wider range of applications on your idea, such as striking the moving object and striking the target with the knocker itself moved. It is also used like the indirect impact type.

This product is used for the following applications:
1. Food factory: RKD is used to remove the chocolate from the mold in chocolate factory
2. Elimination of adhesion on wall surface in rotary drier
3. Removal of extra paint in powder paint
4. Prevention of adhesion on wall surface of work piece for furnace, knocking off of weld spatter, prevention of adhesion on work piece on mesh in drying furnace

Since 1915 EXEN Corporation (Tokyo, Japan) has been solving clogging problems with our original products is called AIR KNOCKER (impactor).
Our air knocker can provide results on any necessary work type and is especially effective against fine powders and sticky or clinging materials in the hopper, chute and pipes. Knocker will successfully discharge the work even if the content is made of fine particles or those with sticky and moisture materials which is impossible to discharge with using pneumatic vibrators.
100% made in Japan.
*We are currently looking for distributors in each EU coutires who can promote and expand our air knocker products together.
If you are inerested in becoming our distributor, we are pleased to have a meeting with you at our booth during POWTECH SHOW.

Features
･Easy to adjust impact force  only with adjusting a pneumatic pressure.
(0.3 – 0.7 MPa) can increase and decrease knocker impact force.
Depends on the powder condition, it can allow to adjust an impact force and then can provide the best impact force for various type of conditions

・Simple maintenance
Replacing expendable parts on-the-spot is made simple.
　With only 4 replacement parts, tasks can be completed with just one equipment. Maintenance work on one knocker takes only 10 minutes.

・Stainless steel and sanitary spec knocker available as our standard model
　Perfect for food & dairy, pharmaceutical, chemical and medicine products where corrosion is unacceptable.
　Also sanitary models with the ferrule clamp spec are available.

・Minimal consumption of air. Reduction of electricity in your factory!
Air consumption rate for one impact of EXEN Air Knocker is dramatically lower than that of existing pneumatic ball / piston/ turbine typed vibrator.
Switching to our Air Knocker from air vibrating type in the similar class alone will greatly save you electric bills on compressors that account for 30% of electricity usage.In comparison to piston vibration type in the similar class, you will be able to realize 85% reduction of air consumption. (In-house comparison)

・Outstanding Durability
Cleared testing of 1 million impacts. (Tested at our internal lab)
Great reduction of damage on expendable parts because it does not continually vibrate as air vibrating type devices.
You will be able to use it continuously for 3 years without any maintenance.
when used twice per minute, 8 hours a day and 365 days straight! (length may vary due to work conditions)

・Quick and Easy operation.
　Since our knockers can operate with only pneumatic source when uses our air operation controller AOC-1B,
　it is not required any electricity and electrical construction work.
