Unlock the Potential of Air Cannons

Air cannons — also known as air blasters — are powerful devices engineered to tackle dust and flow issues at their source. They efficiently dislodge material build-up in chutes, silos, and transfer points, preventing the release of airborne dust. Strategically placed and properly designed air cannons are essential components of your dust suppression strategy — key considerations include chute design, impact support, sealing systems, and belt tracking.

The Flash Cannon

Flash Air Cannons are blast aerators: a compressed-air reservoir with a quick-opening valve that releases the stored air in a sudden, high-energy blast, directed through a discharge pipe to aerate and dislodge material and restore flow.

In a direct-blast design, air passes straight from the tank into the discharge pipe with no bends or obstructions — and the quicker the air discharges, the greater the velocity and force of the blast. Used in combination, multiple cannons can restore flow to thousands or even millions of cubic feet of material, fired manually or by a micro-controller sequencing timer.
