AirSweep — Model VA-06 (3/4″)

Technical Specification AirSweep — Model VA-06 (3/4″)

AirSweep material flow systems provide on-demand flow of even the toughest materials by eliminating bridging, ratholes and build-up. Each powerful pulse of the AirSweep nozzle directs a high-pressure/high-volume, 360-degree burst of compressed air or gas between the material and vessel wall to lift and sweep stagnated material back into the flow stream. The nozzle design (U.S. Patent 6,237,893) ensures an immediate, dust-tight, reseal after each pulse, preventing clogging or material feedback.

Feature

• Energy efficient – uses plant air
• Mount to metal, concrete, fiberglass or wood vessels
• Manufactured from high grade steel for long service life
• System is mounted on the outside of the vessel for easy cleaning and maintenance
• Standard materials of construction include:
  • Carbon Steel
  • 304 Stainless Steel
  • 316 Stainless Steel
  • Other materials available upon request. Tel. 02-384-6060
