Solimar Air Pads & Material Flow Solutions for Silos, Bins & Hoppers

 

Improve Powder Discharge | Reduce Material Hang-Ups | Simplify Maintenance 

Is material bridging over the outlet, forming a central flow channel, or clinging to the hopper walls? Rate Technology Systems helps review your material, vessel geometry and operating conditions to select an appropriate Solimar solution. Explore disk fluidizers, pneumatic air knockers, external installation kits, sanitary mounting options and aeration controls for dry bulk handling applications.

Fast-Fit Fluidizer Kits

Add aeration where a new compact mounting opening is preferable to a larger access plate.

Manufacturer equipment example. Configuration depends on the selected assembly.

Fast-Fit Fluidizer Kits for your process

Your job: install a fluidizer through a smaller external opening.

Fast-Fit allows the flexible fluidizer disk to be inserted through a prepared opening from outside. An alignment plate, sealing components and retaining aid support installation. RTS helps distinguish this approach from EZ-IN, which is primarily selected around an existing pad opening.

Example: Add a new fluidizer mounting point to a compatible small hopper without a large retrofit plate.

Also known as: Fast-Fit aerator kits, external fluidizer mounting kits, compact aeration mounts.

Small mounting opening

The installation opening is selected for the standard or Mini fluidizer.

External assembly

The flexible disk passes through the opening before the outside components are secured.

Alignment and retention

The plate and retaining aid assist positioning during assembly.

How It Works

1

Prepare and deburr the specified mounting opening.

2

Insert and align the fluidizer using the supplied installation method.

3

Secure the assembly and connect the reviewed air supply.

Typical Materials & Industries

New hopper installations

Coordinate the mounting point with the vessel supplier.

Restricted maintenance access

Check space to fit the disk and secure the outside assembly.

Food or industrial powders

Choose contact materials and an air arrangement appropriate to the process.

Suitability depends on the specific material and installation. RTS reviews flow behaviour, geometry, operating conditions and the process requirements together.

Application & Installation Context

Available Configurations

  • Standard fluidizer installation through a two-inch opening; Mini through a 1-1/8-inch opening.
  • Stainless-steel alignment plate with sealing components and the selected fluidizer.
  • Discuss disk material, stem and air connection for the required duty.

Application Questions

How do we select the assembly?

Start with the material and a hopper or vessel drawing. For fast-fit fluidizer kits, RTS also needs to understand the specific duty: install a fluidizer through a smaller external opening.

What should we send for a review?

Is this a new mounting point or an existing opening? What are the wall thickness, curvature and available external clearance?

Can this be fitted to existing equipment?

Send photographs and dimensions of the existing mounting and nearby equipment. RTS will coordinate a fit review before a replacement or new mounting arrangement is proposed.

PDF Literature & Technical Resources

Use the model-specific instructions for installation and maintenance. RTS can help confirm the selected assembly against the current application.

Discuss Your Application with RTS

Send a photo or drawing and tell us what happens during discharge. RTS can help narrow the options and coordinate the application review with Solimar.
