In cement and bulk powder industries, material flow problems are common. Powders may bridge, hang, or block the silo discharge outlet, especially when moisture or fine particles are present. An aeration box helps solve this problem.
✅ What Is an Aeration Box?
An aeration box uses low-pressure air through a porous fabric liner. When air passes through, it fluidizes the powder, reducing friction and allowing material to flow like a liquid.
✅ Benefits of Aeration Boxes
✔ Prevent powder bridging and sticking
✔ Reduce silo vibration and mechanical cleaning
✔ Lower energy consumption than air cannons
✔ Continuous, controlled discharge
✔ Suitable for large silos and hoppers
✅ Where Aeration Boxes Are Used
- Cement silos
- Fly ash silos
- Flour and starch factories
- Chemical powder storage
- Bulk truck loading systems
Unlike traditional vibration devices, aeration boxes provide smoother, gentler discharge and reduce silo wear. This makes them ideal for industries that require dust-free, continuous loading and conveying.
