By bursting sequence-controlled compressed air at intervals of 10 to 15 seconds, the material is lifted off the wall and stirred, completely solving the material clogging problem!
**Problem** In cement manufacturing, crushed stone is mixed with iron ore and fly ash and melted in a kiln at a high temperature of 2700 degrees. One of the byproducts of this process is clinker. Clinker consists of gray marble-sized balls that pass through a cooler, are crushed, and mixed with other materials to be used as a binder in cement. Clinker is sticky at high temperatures and prone to wear, making it easy to adhere to containers and chutes. Heidelberg Cement attempted to blast the blocks with two air blasters, but it was unsuccessful. To solve this problem, human intervention was still necessary. "We were breaking up the material in the tube with long sticks." **Solution** Heidelberg Cement needed a more reliable material flow activation device that could eliminate all clumps of material. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

basic information
Many of the raw materials used in cement are prone to clumping and material blockage, which can lead to them sticking to chutes, forming lumps in storage silos, or adhering to the walls of tubes and containers. HeidelbergCement, one of the world's largest building materials manufacturers, was facing exactly this problem on its production line. By bursting sequence-controlled compressed air at intervals of 10 to 15 seconds, the compressed air breaks between the hopper walls and the material, lifting and stirring the material away from the walls, completely resolving material blockage issues (such as bridging, rat-holing, and wall adhesion) caused by pressure and friction! *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Applications/Examples of results
By bursting sequence-controlled compressed air at intervals of 10 to 15 seconds, the compressed air penetrates between the hopper's wall and the material, lifting the material off the wall and stirring it. This completely resolves material clogging issues (such as bridging, rat-holing, and wall adhesion) caused by pressure and friction arising from the material! *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
