Aeration Pad for Cement, Fly Ash & Powder Conveying Systems
(Kotak Aerasi / Aeration Box untuk Sistem Konveyor Semen, Abu Terbang & Bubuk)
High-efficiency aeration pad solution designed to improve powder flow and prevent silo blockage
Overview
Aeration pads, also known as aeration boxes, are installed in the cone of silos, hoppers, and bulk discharge points to improve powder flow and prevent material blockage.
✅ Stable material flow
✅ No clogging or bridging
✅ Low air consumption
✅ Simple installation and long service life
Ideal for cement, fly ash, lime powder, clinker dust and other fine bulk powders.
Aeration pads are commonly integrated with air slide conveyors, flow control gates, and bulk loading systems to ensure stable and continuous powder discharge.
How Aeration Pads Improve Silo Material Flow and Prevent Blockage
Aeration boxes create a fluidized air layer that prevents bridging, rat-holing, and material clogging inside silos.
By reducing internal friction and allowing powders to behave like liquids, aeration pads ensure:
✅ Faster discharge
✅ Continuous conveying
✅ Stable flow
✅ Efficient truck or hopper unloading
Widely used in cement plants, fly ash terminals, mining, and powder storage.

FAQs About Aeration Pad
What is an aeration pad used for in cement silos?
An aeration pad is used to improve powder flow inside cement silos by introducing low-pressure air through a fluidizing membrane. It helps prevent material bridging, rat-holing, and blockage during silo discharge, ensuring stable and continuous material flow.
Is an aeration pad the same as an aeration box?
Yes. In cement and bulk material handling industries, aeration pad and aeration box are often used interchangeably. Both refer to the same aeration device installed at silo cones, hoppers, or discharge points to fluidize fine powders and improve flowability.
What materials are suitable for aeration pad systems?
Aeration pads are suitable for cement, fly ash, lime powder, clinker dust, and other fine bulk powders. They are widely used in cement plants, powder storage silos, pneumatic conveying systems, and bulk material discharge applications.
How does an aeration pad differ from mechanical agitators?
An aeration pad improves material flow by introducing low-pressure air to fluidize fine powders, without moving parts.
Compared with mechanical agitators or vibrators, aeration pads consume less energy, require minimal maintenance, and avoid material degradation or equipment wear, making them ideal for continuous cement and fly ash discharge applications.
Can aeration pads be customized for different silo designs?
Yes. Aeration pads can be customized in size, air permeability, housing material, and installation layout to match different silo cones, hoppers, and discharge geometries.
