See PostAirSweep in the Mined Materials Industry
AirSweep is used in the mined materials industry. Nearly all manufacturing processes use mineral commodities. The smartphone you use every day (including its display and circuits) is made from at least 14 different mined materials. Unfortunately, mineral commodities are notoriously difficult to handle. They bridge, arch, and interlock. These material blocks can be as stubborn […]

See Post7 Companies that Switched from Vibrators to AirSweep
Have you ever shaken a ketchup bottle because the ketchup was stuck? Industrial vibrators work the same way. The movement breaks apart the material and loosens it from the vessel walls. But as you’ve probably noticed, there will always be a little bit of ketchup left in the bottle. Vibration can never completely flush a […]
See Post4 Ways to Improve Material Handling Efficiency
Material blocks can slow down production, increase costs, and compromise product quality. Unfortunately, it’s not an easy problem to solve. Many materials have challenging flow properties. Some powders have a tendency to attract moisture and will clump or cake in high humidity. Damp or sticky materials can stick to vessel walls. Others will settle during […]
