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.

Fluidizer Control Systems

Pulse and sequence the air supply around the discharge process instead of leaving every aerator on continuously.

Solimar Fluidizer Control Systems — Manufacturer equipment example. Configuration depends on the selected assembly.

Fluidizer Control Systems for your process

Your job: coordinate when and where aeration runs.

Solimar control packages combine an adjustable timer board with air-system components. Standard arrangements serve one to sixteen fluidizers, with custom systems available. RTS reviews the discharge cycle, air availability and control interfaces before recommending a sequence or package.

Example: Alternate aeration zones on a silo during discharge while managing the plant’s compressed-air demand.

Also known as: Aeration controllers, fluidizer timer controls, pulsed aeration packages.

Adjustable timing

Set the interval and duration of air pulses.

Sequenced operation

Alternate fluidizers to suit the unloading task.

Packaged components

Timer enclosures, valves, regulators and associated air components can be coordinated.

How It Works

Provide an operating demand from the discharge process.

Use the timer and valves to apply the selected pulse sequence.

Check flow and adjust timing without exceeding the selected hardware limits.

Typical Materials & Industries

Storage silos

Review zones and the timing of discharge into downstream equipment.

Weigh hoppers

Coordinate aeration with filling, settling and discharge requirements.

Filter hoppers

Discuss material release and the available air supply at the installation.

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

Application Questions

How do we select the assembly?

Start with the material and a hopper or vessel drawing. For fluidizer control systems, RTS also needs to understand the specific duty: coordinate when and where aeration runs.

What should we send for a review?

How many fluidizers and zones are required? When should aeration start and stop relative to discharge?

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.
