Martin Engineering Hurricane Air Cannons

Hurricane Air Cannons improve the flow of bulk materials and prevent outages due to discharge blockages, buildups, and ratholes in silos. Hurricane Air Cannons feature a new valve concept that provides more force, uses less air, and simplifies installation and maintenance. They can be placed on hoppers, bins, head chutes, and transfer points for a safe and efficient way to eliminate material pluggage and improve material flow. Say goodbye to sledgehammers, metal rods, and air lances.

Description

Maximize productivity and efficiency by keeping material flowing. Hurricane Air Cannons prevent buildups and obstructions by releasing controlled yet powerful bursts of air without risking damage to equipment. In addition to enhancing material flow, air cannons increase safety and maintenance planning as they eliminate the need for workers to manually intervene with blockages, disrupting the production process. When used correctly, air cannons provide:

A proactive, not reactive approach to material buildup (don’t wait for material to stop flowing)
Timed firing/sequencing
Automated firing triggered by material sensor
Easy maintenance due to modular design
Various nozzles and cannon sizes to suit a variety of applications
Safe and cost-effective solution to improving material flow
Effective use of manpower
Reduced opportunities for on-the-job injuries

Features & Benefits

Maximum discharge strength from high velocity output with half the air volume for highly effective discharge and reduced operating costs
Designed for simple maintenance (no need to remove the tank from the storage vessel for service)
Fits in smaller places; more power from less air allows use of smaller air reservoir
Fires in response to a positive surge of air sent by a solenoid valve, eliminating the risk of accidental discharge
Positive-acting valve allows control solenoid to be positioned as far as 200′ from the tank, keeping solenoids away from harsh conditions and difficult to service areas
Suitable for high-temperature applications
Tanks for Hurricane Air Cannons supplied by Martin Engineering are manufactured to ASME Code Rules, Section VIII, Division 1. Tanks are National Board registered and pressure vessel quality (PVQ).

Options

Fan jet nozzle
High temperature nozzle
