Air Cannons & High-Pressure Impulse Systems
for Severe Industrial Flow Problems
Flow Industries helps cement, power, waste-to-energy, chemical, food processing, mining, and bulk solids plants restore flow, prevent shutdowns, and eliminate dangerous manual cleaning using controlled compressed-air pulse technology.
One Technology Platform
Three Industrial Applications
Flow Industries uses controlled high-pressure compressed-air energy to solve severe material flow and fouling problems where conventional air cannons often fail.
Whether the challenge is a blocked silo, heavy buildup in a preheater, riser, cyclone, or cooler, or fouling on boiler heat-transfer surfaces, we provide the right impulse technology for the application.
From Routine Flow Assistance to Severe Industrial Blockages
Flow Industries supplies advanced compressed-air flow-aid systems for plants that handle difficult bulk materials, high-temperature processes, and hard-to-clean deposits.
Our technologies range from powerful AirMace® air cannons for reliable material discharge to patented MultiPulse™ and Hybrid MultiPulse™ systems for severe build-ups, boiler fouling, and applications that require repeated high-energy impulse action.
Bulk Solids Flow
Silos, bins, hoppers, chutes
Prevent bridging, ratholing, arching, and material build-up in cement, minerals, chemicals, food, grain, coal, fertilizers, and other bulk solids.
High-Temperature Process Online Cleaning
Risers, preheaters, cyclones, coolers, calciners
Remove rings, snowmen, coating, and hardened deposits from risers, preheaters, cyclones, and coolers using high-pressure air impulses or unique air-water impulse technology.
Boiler Online Cleaning
WtE, biomass, and power boilers
Remove boiler fouling and ash deposits while the boiler remains in operation using controlled high-energy impulse technology.
