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.

Quick Clean Sanitary Fluidizer Kits

Use a removable sanitary mounting arrangement where regular product-contact inspection matters.

Manufacturer equipment example. Configuration depends on the selected assembly.

Quick Clean Sanitary Fluidizer Kits for your process

Your job: inspect and clean the fluidizer more easily.

The Quick Clean kit mounts a fluidizer through a tri-clamp ferrule so the assembly can be removed from outside the hopper. Stainless steel and food-grade UHMW components support contaminant-sensitive duties. RTS reviews the mounting surface and cleaning access along with the powder-flow problem.

Example: Remove and inspect the aeration assembly between ingredient campaigns without arranging routine access inside the hopper.

Also known as: Sanitary aerator kits, quick-clean fluidizers, tri-clamp fluidizer mounts.

Tri-clamp access

The removable mounting arrangement supports inspection and disassembly.

Reduced thread exposure

The stem arrangement reduces exposed external threads and accepts a direct air fitting.

Standard and Mini options

The family supports different fluidizer sizes and flat or conical hoppers.

How It Works

1

Install the appropriate ferrule and mounting assembly.

2

Aerate the powder during discharge.

3

Isolate the equipment and remove the assembly for the specified inspection or cleaning.

Typical Materials & Industries

Food & dairy

Review ingredient changeover, inspection frequency and cleaning methods.

Pharmaceutical ingredients

Discuss documentation and component compatibility for the intended process.

Contamination-sensitive powders

Select the disk compound and mounting arrangement together.

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

  • Assemblies for standard and Mini fluidizers.
  • Manufacturer literature lists 6-inch and 3-inch tri-clamp/ferrule assembly arrangements.
  • Stainless steel and food-grade UHMW construction; confirm exact product-contact requirements.

Application Questions

How do we select the assembly?

Start with the material and a hopper or vessel drawing. For quick clean sanitary fluidizer kits, RTS also needs to understand the specific duty: inspect and clean the fluidizer more easily.

What should we send for a review?

How frequently must the fluidizer be removed? Is cleaning dry, wet, chemical or temperature-intensive?

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.
