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.

Mini Silo Fluidizers

Bring disk aeration to tight curves, chutes and small hoppers where a standard disk may not fit.

Solimar Mini Silo Fluidizers — Manufacturer equipment example. Configuration depends on the selected assembly.

Mini Silo Fluidizers for your process

Your job: release powder in smaller spaces.

The Mini uses a two-inch disk rather than the standard four-inch disk. Solimar identifies small chambers, pipes and chutes as potential applications. RTS reviews the available curvature and mounting clearance so the disk can sit correctly against the wall.

Example: Address powder hanging up in a small feed hopper or curved transfer section.

Also known as: Mini aerators, small hopper fluidizers, compact disk aerators.

Compact disk

A smaller footprint suits locations that cannot accept the standard disk.

Wall-directed airflow

The Mini uses the same general aeration and vibration principle as the larger family.

Installation flexibility

Discuss air connections and mounting kits alongside the available space.

How It Works

Confirm curvature and space for the disk and stem.

Introduce the selected air supply beneath the disk.

Evaluate discharge before finalizing the operating sequence.

Typical Materials & Industries

Small ingredient hoppers

Assess food powders and the need to remove the disk for inspection.

Chutes & pipes

Review geometry and whether added air is acceptable in the connected process.

Compact process bins

Use a drawing to identify corners, narrow curves and installation constraints.

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

External installation with the Fast-Fit approach

Solimar demonstrates Fast-Fit installation for its fluidizer family. This is installation context, not a dedicated Mini performance test; Mini dimensions are in the linked literature.

Available Configurations

Two-inch Mini disk assemblies; Solimar lists tight-curvature chambers down to four inches in diameter.
Standard silicone and high-temperature disk options; confirm the selected material rating.
Mini-compatible external installation and sanitary kits, subject to the assembly chosen.

Application Questions

How do we select the assembly?

Start with the material and a hopper or vessel drawing. For mini silo fluidizers, RTS also needs to understand the specific duty: release powder in smaller spaces.

What should we send for a review?

What is the actual inside diameter or radius at the mounting point? Is access limited by nearby piping, a screw feeder or insulation?

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.

What is the actual inside diameter or radius at the mounting point?
Is access limited by nearby piping, a screw feeder or insulation?
Does the powder respond to aeration, or is another flow aid needed?
