AKO solve silo problem

AKO UK have fitted SureFlo, an aerator/vibratory system, to solve common silo/hopper problems at CEMEX’s site in Rugby. The system has been fitted to cement silos in the packing area and silo chutes feeding the screw conveyors and in the dust plant.

Aerator pads are fitted inside the lower walls of the container. If access into the hopper is difficult, AKO can also supply a retrofit kit. Pressurized air is applied to the outside of the pads, causing vibration and a deliberate leakage of air that is imparted to the bulk powder/granule product. This leads to an uninterrupted full flow of product through the discharge valve.
