Flow Promotion

Start With What the Powder Is Doing

Every stalled discharge has a signature. An arch bridging the outlet. A rathole draining the core and leaving the walls full. Product caking on the wall, lumps jamming the spout, fine powder flushing through uncontrolled, or a heel that never empties. Naming the failure mode is the first step; the material and the vessel geometry decide the fix.

• Arching / bridging over the outlet
• Ratholing / piping: core empties, walls don't
• Wall buildup & caking
• Lumps & agglomerates
• Inconsistent / erratic discharge
• Flushing / flooding of fine powder
• Residual heel: vessel won't empty

Flowsonic: Keep the Powder in Motion

Instead of waiting for an arch to form and then breaking it, the Flowsonic applies high-frequency, low-amplitude ultrasonic vibration at the vessel wall, keeping the powder in motion so flow problems like bridging are avoided before they start. A compact transducer clamps to the cone, feeder, or dosing tube; no hammering, no structural fatigue on the vessel.

• Proactive: prevents bridging rather than reacting to it
• High frequency, low amplitude: gentle on the vessel
• Compact transducer, clamp-mounted at the critical zone
• Suits hoppers, feeders, weighing hoppers & dosing pipes

Field applications include titanium dioxide, cocoa powder, calcium carbonate, zeolite, vitamin mixes, and chemical powders, from weighing hoppers to twin-screw feeders and dosing pipes.
