Aeration Pads
Low‑energy flow‑aid pads that fluidise powders to promote reliable silo and hopper discharge.

// How It Works
Engineered for reliable pneumatic transfer.
Aeration pads introduce controlled air through membranes to reduce friction and mobilise fine powders, enabling gravity discharge without mechanical agitation. Correctly placed pads solve ratholing and arching, stabilise rates, and prepare product for downstream conveying.
Applications
- Silo/hopper discharge for cement, fly ash, alumina, lime, and similar powders
- ESP hopper aeration and gravity‑fed systems
- Retrofits to resolve poor flow with minimal downtime
- Conditioning ahead of air slides or pneumatic lines
Benefits
- Reliable flow with low air and energy use
- Reduced bridging, ratholing, and segregation
- Uniform discharge improves downstream control
- Simple installation and easy maintenance
