Solimar Pneumatics, Minneapolis, MN, has developed a new method of installation for its fluidizer disks. The new Fast-Fit Kit only requires a small 2in (50mm) diameter hole to be drilled. The Fluidizer is then inserted from outside the vessel. An alignment plate correctly positions the unit’s stem for easy attachment and a retaining cable assists in trouble-free installation of gasket, washer and nut. A video on the company’s website demonstrates the entire process. 

 

Solimar is a leading worldwide supplier of disk-type fluidizers for the fast discharge of powder and bulk solids for many applications including silos, hoppers, bins and trailers. They are designed to prevent rat-holing and bridging by utilising air pressure to move the material while gently vibrating the vessel wall. The company has a network of agents/distributors covering most European countries. www.solimarpneumatics.com
