Types of Equipment for Coal Bunker Flow Problems
Because coal has a high cohesive strength, it’s often prone to ratholes during discharge in a bunker. Problems like these lead to erratic and inconsistent flow. Air-slide flow aids and electric vibrators offer solutions to ensure optimal production.
Air-Slide Flow Aid Solutions
We offer several air-slide flow aid solutions for coal bunkers that help streamline flow in the harshest and most severe applications. This equipment maintains optimal flow by eliminating blockages, arching, ratholes and sticky buildup.
Place these units strategically throughout your container to provide the necessary blasts of air to keep material flowing in a downward direction.
Series Explosion-Proof Electric Vibrators
Explosion-proof vibrators are ideal for areas where flammable dust particles or chemical fumes create potentially hazardous environments. These devices help prevent material bridging and clogging while ensuring that coal storage bins clear out with quiet, energy-efficient performance. They meet standards set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and they comply with Class I, Division 1 and Class II, Division 1 performance requirements.
Besides coal processing, this equipment works well as a flow aid for other bulk material handling applications. Some examples include quarry materials, oil and gas operations, and fertilizer processing.
The Benefits of Flow Aid Equipment for Coal Bunkers
When you implement our air-slide and vibration solutions into your coal processing operation, you can:
- Eliminate clogs, ratholes, bridging and arching in your coal bunkers.
- Decrease the manual labor requirements for restoring material flow.
- Maximize your operation’s efficiency and improve production speeds.
- Increase employee safety.
- Use some of the industry’s most durable and longest-lasting equipment.
