Material flow is the secret to a well-functioning cement and concrete plant. Over time, preheater towers, clinker coolers, storage vessels, and concrete belts build up “snowmen”-like deposits. This slows production and causes product loss. Material flow aids and compressed air cannons solve the problem. ACT is best known for conveyor belt products, yet we also provide the best transfer point products on the market.
Build-up is common when handling cement, limestone, and similar materials. Every transfer point — from storage vessels to preheater towers and clinker coolers — can crystallize product. Moisture, faulty seals, and air leakage all contribute. The ACT Flash Cannon loosens packed material at critical transfer points. It releases up to 155 cubic feet of compressed air in under half a second, at nearly 4,000 pounds of pressure, with no mechanical springs. In short, it delivers the most forceful direct air blast in the industry.
Concrete, cement, limestone, and crushed rock produce a lot of dust. Therefore, the right dust suppression matters at every transfer point. Our best sellers include:
For enclosed processing areas, our industrial ventilation services help keep silica dust below regulatory limits.
You can reduce build-up and increase efficiency at your plant. Our technicians will analyze your material handling systems and find ways to improve your operations. Contact us to schedule your on-site consultation, or give us a call toll free at (888) 480-0680.
