How to choose the right flow aid?👇
Ensuring a regular material flow is essential to prevent blockages, reduce downtime and improve process efficiency. But how do you choose the most suitable solution?
The first factor to consider is the type of material: fine powders, granules or moist materials behave differently and require specific technologies.
Another key element is the application point: hoppers, silos or pipelines may present different issues, such as bridging, rat-holing or material adhesion to the walls.
Operating conditions also play a crucial role:
▪️ continuous or intermittent flow
▪️ environment (dusty, ATEX, etc.)
▪️ available installation space
Based on these factors, it is possible to identify the most effective solution among aerators, pneumatic vi*****rs (linear or rotary), electric vi*****rs or hydraulic vi*****rs.
Choosing the right system not only improves material discharge, but also helps make the entire process more reliable and continuous.
