Sonic Horns: a User's Introduction

摘要

A sonic horn can get material flowing in your storage vessel or hopper truck or railcar by directing low-frequency sound vibrations into the vessel to fluidize stagnant material and buildup. This article introduces storage applications for sonic horns, and explains sonic hom benefits, operations and selection. A sonic horn (also called an acoustic horn or acoustic cleaner) is one of many types of flow aids you can use to get bulk solid materials flowing from vessels and ensure complete discharge to prevent batch-to-batch contamination. Such aids are commonly used to remove ratholes, bridging and sidewall buildup caused by fine materials.
