Principle of Operation
N/A The Air Pad operates by continuously introducing air into the body of the dry powder. When a powder is first conveyed into a storage vessel it is actually a highly aerated mixture of air and particulate. In this state the mixture flows quite readily. However, as the powder settles the solid particulate and air separate resulting in a decrease in volume and an increase in bulk density. In this deaerated state powders can behave more like a single large solid structure rather than a fluid-like mixture. By replacing the naturally lost air, the air to particulate mixture ratio is held thus maintaining the fluid like characteristic of the aerated powder. |
Applications
N/A For best results in promoting the flow of dry bulk powders, multi ple rows of air pad bin aerators should be used. The number of rows and quantity of air pads in each row will differ by application. Monitor application engineers are ready to provide you with the best recommendation for your specific material flow problem. Generally, four rows of air pad bin aerators on 12 inch (305mm) or 15 inch (381 mm) centers is recommended. While the effective radius of each air pad is approximately 10 inches (254 mm), the air pads should be spaced so that the entire troublesome area is within the sphere of influence of the air pads. |

Accessories
N/A An external mounting kit is available. This kit can completely eliminate the need to enter the bin to install or service air pad bin aerators. Using a 2-5/8 x 6-3/8 inch (66.5 x 162.0 mm) cutout hole in the bin wall, the mounting kit can be completely installed and serviced from outside the bin. Our air pad and external mounting kit can easily install in existing cutouts of other brands. |
Warranty
N/A
Monitor Technologies warrants each air pad it manufactures to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service within two (2) years from the date of purchase within North America, and within one (1) year from date of purchase outside of North America. The purchaser must notify Monitor of any defects within the warranty period, return the product intact, and prepay transportation charges. The obligation of Monitor Technologies LLC under this war ranty is limited to repair or replacement at its factory. This warranty does not apply to any product which is repaired or altered outside of Monitor Technologies' factory, or which has been subject to misuse, negligence, accident, incorrect wiring by others, or improper installation. |
