40 / September 2020 powderbulk.com PBE SPECIAL SECTION Flow Aids This product summary is designed to help you find useful information on a variety of flow aids. The information reported here is furnished by the manufacturers; no product endorsement is intended. Bin Activator System Pulsonic bin activator system instantly clears compacted solids from bins, hoppers, and other mass-flow devices. System's preprogrammed injector or injectors introduce multiple, instantaneous, sonic air bursts directly into compacted material, restoring free flow to even difficult materials, without severe shock and vibration methods that can cause hopper damage. Sys- tem has a compressed-air reservoir with a solenoid-operated release valve connected to a programmer, which directs the air-blast pattern to one or more injectors.
