In Solids Flow

This section presents typical problems encountered in the handling of bulk solids, and lists possible solutions to each one. Among the variables that must be considered in the solution to any specific problem are:

  • Size and construction of the structure.
  • Material characteristics (including moisture content and particle size)

Material bridges or rat holes in my bin, hopper, silo, or bunker.

BIG BLASTER® HURRICANE Air Cannon

BIG BLASTER® HURRICANE Air Cannon

Martin Engineering has introduced the BIG BLASTER® HURRICANE Air Cannon. Its compact design provides powerful discharges to improve flow for the toughest applications including high-temperature conditions

The noise level of existing vibrators is unacceptably high.

MARTIN® Electric Vibrators CD Series

MARTIN® Electric Vibrators improve the handling of bulk materials in industrial vibration applications like bin activation, screening, feeding, and compaction.

MARTIN® WHIRLWIND™ High-Frequency Turbine Vibrator

With an output of over 10,000 lb-f (45 kN), depending on the application, the MARTIN® WHIRLWIND™ High-Frequency Turbine Vibrator doubles the force output of the most powerful competitive models. Units mount easily to cradle lug brackets or railcar wedge brackets, and operate quietly to meet OSHA noise requirements.

Railcar unloading is too slow and requires excess labor.

BOOT-LIFT® Railcar Connector

The BOOT-LIFT® Railcar Connector installs between the rails to improve the unloading of railroad hopper cars. Dual air-over-hydraulic lift cylinders push the sponge seals securely to the hopper car unloading gates, to provide a clean transfer of material. BOOT-LIFT® Railcar Connector improves efficiency and safety of your railcar unloading process.

MARTIN® MP3 Railcar Vibrator

Martin Engineering's lightweight MP3 Railcar Vibrator provides quiet power to improve hopper car unloading. It comes with a unique urethane wedge bracket that reduces noise and makes mounting easy.

MARTIN® PR-3™ Portable Railcar Vibrator

With its powerful vibrator and rugged wedge bracket, the MARTIN® PR-3™ Portable Railcar Vibrator is the economical answer for improved railcar unloading.

MARTIN® Railcar Opener

Improve railcar unloading efficiency with the MARTIN® Railcar Opener. This rugged air-powered unit opens railcar hopper gates, without gang tactics, without stoop labor or crawling under the car, without damage to gate or mechanism, and without excessive noise.

MARTIN® WHIRLWIND™ High-Frequency Turbine Vibrator

With an output of over 10,000 lb-f (45 kN), depending on the application, the MARTIN® WHIRLWIND™ High-Frequency Turbine Vibrator doubles the force output of the most powerful competitive models. Units mount easily to cradle lug brackets or railcar wedge brackets, and operate quietly to meet OSHA noise requirements.

My pneumatic vibrators use too much expensive compressed air. I want greater energy efficiency.

MARTIN® Electric Vibrators CD Series

MARTIN® Electric Vibrators improve the handling of bulk materials in industrial vibration applications like bin activation, screening, feeding, and compaction.

I get inconsistent or inadequate flow from my feeders or chutes.
