Air Blasters- The Solution for Effective Material Flow Management

Air blasters (Air Cannons or Air boosters) of high performance for material flow are provided by us at Ubon India . Whether the industry is that of cement, steel, sugar, coal mining, sponge iron, power plant and many more. it does not matter. Our air cannons system prevents blockage and build-up in essential equipment like silos, hoppers, chutes, and kilns, making the material flow smooth and undisturbed.

As a trusted air blaster manufacturer in India, Ubon India provides reliable, advanced solutions to keep your operations running at peak performance.

What Is an Air Blaster?

An air blaster uses a high-pressure burst of air to clear material blockages in industrial equipment. It is a very powerful device that delivers controlled bursts of air into silos, hoppers, chutes, pre-heaters, and other critical areas to dislodge materials that may cause clogs or hinder the flow of raw materials such as cement, coal, and limestone.

How Air Blasters Work

Air blasters use powerful blasts of compressed air to break up material buildups and blockages in various equipment. By introducing controlled air blasts into clogged areas, the air cannon helps restore smooth material flow and prevents disruptions to your production process. This approach effectively clears blockages while minimizing energy usage and wear and tear on your equipment.

Common Flow Problems in Plants
Material flow problems in bulk material handling systems are common in plants, causing considerable production delays. Some of the common flow problems are as follows:

Arching: Arching occurs when material builds up and forms a bridge-like structure across the flow path, blocking the movement of material. This creates a complete blockage, halting the flow entirely. Air cannons can break the arch and restore the flow by releasing powerful bursts of air to dislodge the material.

Bridgingthis occurs when material bridges over equipment, thus preventing it from falling freely and also restricting the downward flow. This blockage will cause delays in production because of the restriction of material movement. Blasters can easily dislodge the bridge, clearing the obstruction and allowing the material to flow properly

Funneling: it is a situation where material flows mainly from the center of the chute or hopper, leaving the material on the sides to stagnate. This type of uneven flow will not be efficient and prevent the equipment from emptyingStrategically placed blasters will ensure even distribution of material flow for smooth operation and maximum utilization.

Rat-holing: A narrow channel forms in the center of the bulk material leaving the surrounding material untouched. The result is an incomplete material discharge and uneven flow, which are inefficient for the system. Cannons break up the rat hole and encourage a consistent flow of material.

These common flow problems can greatly hinder productivity and efficiency. Using air cannons helps to address such problems and ensure that material continues to flow uninterrupted, reliably maintaining continuous operations in industries such as cement plants, sugar mills, and coal mines.

How Air cannons Address the Problems

Strategically placed air cannons will resolve the flow issues, dislodge the material trapped, and allow for a continuous flow. Depending on your plant design and material handling system, our air cannons solutions can be modified to suit your specific needs and ensure that your production line continues without interruption.

The Key Benefits of Air Cannons

Applications of Air Blasters in Different Industries

Air Blasters find wide applications across different industries where smooth material flow needs to be ensured. Our cannons cater to the following industrial applications as well.

Cement Plants: Prevent blockage of silos, hoppers, and kilns in Cement Plants for smooth operation.
Sugar Mills: Clear up the material accumulated in conveyors and hoppers of Sugar Mills to ensure material flow.
Coal Mines: Provide a steady air blast to maintain coal flow in storage bins and chutes.
Steel Plants: Ensure that large storage areas and conveyors remain free from material.
Power Plants: Ensure a free flow of coal and other materials through feeders and boilers.
Lime Works & Mills: Remove blockages of materials which cause disruptions in production.
Petrochemical Plants: Ensure uninterrupted flow of bulk material processing systems.
