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 Plates

Use disk fluidizers on a plate where the existing plenum and mounting arrangement support this retrofit.

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

Fluidizer Plates for your process

Your job: replace a compatible fabric-pad plate assembly.

Fluidizer plates combine silicone disks with a mounting plate to replace compatible fabric aerators. Solimar lists the product under its silo range, while the detailed literature describes bulk-trailer and Porta-Bulk plenum applications. RTS will confirm the actual vessel and plate interface before recommending this configuration.

Example: Review a worn fabric-pad assembly and its plenum dimensions before proposing a disk-fluidizer replacement.

Also known as: Aerator plates, fluidizer replacement plates, disk aeration plates.

Disk-based aeration

Air passes beneath the disks to provide aeration and vibration.

Plate retrofit

The plate format addresses an existing mounting and air-distribution arrangement.

Fit comes first

Plate dimensions and plenum compatibility determine whether replacement is practical.

How It Works

Identify the existing pad, plate and plenum arrangement.

Confirm a compatible disk-fluidizer plate configuration.

Review airflow and evaluate discharge after installation.

Typical Materials & Industries

Bulk powder unloading

Cement and flour are examples cited in the plate literature.

Existing aeration plenums

Assess worn or blocked fabric pads and the present assembly.

Stationary hopper enquiries

Provide drawings so RTS can check whether a plate or an EZ-IN kit is the appropriate route.

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

Available Configurations

Different plate dimensions and disk arrangements are shown in Solimar’s literature.
Review the existing mounting, gasket, plenum and air connection.
Confirm whether the requirement is a compatible trailer/Porta-Bulk plate or a different stationary-hopper retrofit.

Application Questions

How do we select the assembly?

Start with the material and a hopper or vessel drawing. For fluidizer plates, RTS also needs to understand the specific duty: replace a compatible fabric-pad plate assembly.

What should we send for a review?

Is this on a silo, portable bulk container or trailer? Can you supply the plate dimensions, mounting pattern and plenum drawing?

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.
