Clean Light Material Buildup from Large Surfaces Areas

AcoustiClean® Sonic Horns produce high-energy, low-frequency sound vibrations that disperse dry material. Compressed air is applied to a sound generator, which vibrates a titanium diaphragm. The sound waves clear the material, to clean your equipment.

  • Easy to install

    Reduce plant shutdowns and improve material flow

  • Suitable for high heat and food application

    Made of cast iron or stainless steel

  • Low maintenance

    Titanium diaphragm is the only moving part

Soot Blowers vs. Sonic Horns Case Study

Soot Blowers vs. Sonic Horns Case Study

If you can’t take the heat, get out of the factory. All the sootblowers in a US-based engineered wood factory warped in their boiler furnace’s intense temperatures. Cast iron sonic horns withstood the heat, and cleaned blind spots that sootblowers missed.

Sonic horn Models

The size and shape of the horn's bell section determines the acoustic energy produced. Longer, larger horns produce more energy to clean larger areas.

Sonic Horn Accessories

For easy installation and maintenance, we provide everything you need for your sonic material activation system.

  • Solenoid valve to control air flow
  • Stainless steel flex hose to connect the valve and piping to compressor
  • Timers to control the interval and duration of sound waves. A control box can control multiple devices
  • Sound generators, replaced or re-machined after 5 years of typical service
  • Titanium diaphragm, the only moving part, which must be replaced yearly

FIND YOUR FLOW

Complex processes or material flow issues may need special installation or combination of equipment.

TYPE OF MATERIAL

Sonic horns work well on dry, powdery material. If material moisture is elevated or significant, the best alternative is the AirSweep® System

SIZE OF VESSEL

For very large vessels, consider installing AirSweeps® at the bottom and AcoustiClean® sonic horns at the top

TYPE OF VESSEL

For boilers, the most effective installation will have the horn(s) blowing in the same direction as the pipes,
