Aeration Helps Feed Wood Flour.A new retrofittable device for wood flour Wood flour is finely pulverized wood that has a consistencey fairly equal to sand, but can vary considerably, with particles ranging in size from a fine powder to roughly the size of a grain of rice. and other hard-to-feed additives fluidizes the material at the silo or bin discharge outlet. The new Flow Inducement Aerator aer·a·tor n. One that aerates, as a machine for aerating turf or a device for aerating liquids. Noun 1. aerator - an apparatus for exposing something to the air (as sewage) kit from Amtec Engineering Inc., Houston, uses pulses of air to counteract the tendency of wood flour to compact and become immovable if it sits in silos or hoppers for even a short time. Vibration also tends to compact the material. Designed for use in hoppers, silos, and bag-break stations, the kit has two or more aeration aeration /aer·a·tion/ (ar-a´shun) 1. the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen by the blood in the lungs. 2. the charging of a liquid with air or gas. aer·a·tion n. nozzles mounted flush with the hopper wall. A kit (designated AEI AEI American Enterprise Institute AEI Archive of European Integration AEI Australian Education International AEI Automotive Engineering International AEI Australian Education Index AEI Albert Einstein Institute Model Floair-03) with three aeration nozzles, sized for a 2000-lb hopper, starts at $4600. |
