Technical Specification AirSweep — Model VA-06-TRI-TRI (3/4″) Tri-Clamp
Ideal for applications requiring easy installation and removal for cleaning or sanitation.
AirSweep — Model VA-06-TRI-TRI (3/4″) Tri-Clamp AirSweep Systems material flow technology prevents and eliminates hang-ups and blockages in silos, bins, hoppers, chutes and more with coordinated 360° bursts of compressed air/gas. Sequenced pulsing of strategically positioned AirSweep units activate bulk material to produce a first-in, first-out controlled flow.
APPLICATIONS INCLUDE: Grains • Flour • Sugar • Cocoa • Peanuts • Starch • Hops • Meal • Salts • Rice Bran • Pharmaceuticals • and more!
