Metal Detectable Silo Fluidizer

The latest in Solimar innovations addresses concerns from industries that require an extra level of safety.

Assure your products of zero contamination with the new metal detectable fluidizer disks. These unique fluidizes are designed for the dairy, pharmaceutical and food related industries.Standard 4-inch diameter and Mini two-inch diameter for use in bins, hoppers and silos or in pneumatic lines with tight curvature.

Solimar disks enjoy a long history of structural integrity – they are guaranteed not to tear. But when safety is paramount to your product, this is your only choice when zero contamination is a must.

Enjoy all the same benefits of Solimar’s superior aeration including uniform flow and discharge of dry bulk materials through aeration and hopper wall vibration. Can be combined with control systems for automated aeration during unloading (see below).

Note: Due to the impregnated ferrous oxide, the Metal Detectable Disk is only available in grey.

Why Solimar Silo Fluidizers work where others have failed:

Aeration

Loosens up the product allowing it to flow easier. Minimum back pressure puts air energy where it is need the most – in the silo.

Directional Air Flow

The Fluidizer disk forces air to move along the bin wall freeing up product and assuring good cleanout.

Gentle Vibration

Keeps the product flowing without allowing it to compact or plug.

No Airline Plugging

Disk seals tightly against the silo wall and prevents airline plugging. Robust Design. The disk will not tear, pick up moisture & is unaffected by temperatures up to 350 F (170 C).

Material Compatible

Available in FDA approved silicone rubber in blue and white, FDA approved EPDM rubber in black or white, also Orange High Temp rubber, and now FDA approved grey Metal Detectable.

About Solimar Pneumatics

Solimar Pneumatics’ 35th year of serving the bulk powder industry marks continuous design progress bringing superior aeration to more applications and customers. Solimar has grown from one man’s innovative idea of the original Solimar Disk Fluidizer in 1985, to a brand recognized around the world with a wide range of products designed around the idea of providing powder discharge solutions.

Experience Matters

The company is named for its founder, Keith Solimar, who immigrated to the US from Sweden looking to bring the technology of pneumatic bulk tanks with him. Keith’s work with Nordic Tank and later with Butler Manufacturing bolstered his experience into the issues of moving powders in the transportation industry. It was his research into these issue that led him to the idea of the single point aerator. First, with the Butler Flo-Cone and then with Solimar Pneumatics, to the modern silicone aerator disk featuring the Radial Ridge Design.

Aeration History

Historically, the aeration medium in dry bulk trailers or industrial silos had been fabric, which provides an excellent fluidized bed but, becomes less efficient over time; condensation in combination with fines slowly plug the fabric and constrict the airflow. The added maintenance of cleaning and drying the fabric reduced productivity, and the downtime and labor cost with replacement was constantly an issue. With the advent of the point aerator, radically these problems were eliminated. As we see with the current Solimar Fluidizer, airflow no longer moves “through” a fabric media but more effectively “around” the silicone disks providing aeration to the powder and gentle vibration to the hopper wall assisting in the discharge of the powder.

Proven Time & Again

The Solimar Fluidizer, featuring the Radial Ridge Design, has proven time and again to be one of the most effective solutions to discharge dry powders from trailers, railcars, silos, hoppers and bins. The Fluidizer line has grown to include options for food grade, chemical, high temperature and even metal detectable disks. Solimar Fluidizers are the standard by which others are measured. No aerator lasts longer, is more durable or unloads faster.
