How Air Blasters Solve Cement Challenges
Air blasters use high-pressure air bursts to dislodge materials like powders, granules, and clinker. Fluidtecq’s solenoid-operated valves are the heart of these systems, enabling:
- Storage: Compressed air is held in a receiver.
- Release: Rapid valve actuation via Q-point design delivers controlled bursts with minimal delay.
- Action: Shockwaves clear blockages, restoring flow.
Our valves are engineered for critical cement applications:
- Pre-Heater Towers: Prevent arching and buildup for consistent material feed.
- Silos and Hoppers: Break bridges and ratholes to ensure smooth discharge.
- Ducts and Chutes: Clear clogs in transfer systems and grates.
- Process Equipment: Remove adhered materials to maintain production.
- For OEMs: Our valves are designed for high-volume air cannons, with advanced nozzle compatibility for superior reach. NAMUR-mount options and materials like aluminum or stainless steel ensure seamless integration, boosted by the Q-point advantage for efficient response.
- For Cement Plants: As replacements, our valves reduce downtime by up to 50%, cut maintenance costs by 30%, and enhance safety by minimizing manual interventions, all powered by Q-point precision.
Choose the right valve by considering:
- Vessel Size: Match valve capacity to equipment volume.
- Material Characteristics: Address the stickiness or flow behavior of cement materials.
- Operating Conditions: Opt for dust-resistant, weatherproof (IP-67/IP-68) valves for harsh environments.
- Cannon Design: Select valves supporting advanced nozzles for maximum cleaning efficiency, enhanced by Q-point actuation.
- Pressure Range: 1-10 bar (custom up to 300 bar).
- Materials: Durable for gases, chemicals, and vacuums.
- Certifications: Flameproof (IS 2148), IP-67/68, approved by CMRS Dhanbad and COE Nagpur.
- Q-Point Advantage: Ensures quick, energy-efficient valve operation for reliable shockwave delivery.
