Description
The purpose of an aeration pads in conveying system is to fluidise fine product using very little energy, utilising the free gravity forces and guide the material towards the discharge point. The gravity conveying is achieved by fluidisation of the product. The aeration pads are designed to be fitted to the bottom section of a flat bottom silo and on the cone section of silos for efficient aeration and flow of powdered product in the silo. Aeration pads can be fitted with a protection grid where there is a need to protect the aeration membrane.
