Optimizing bulk material processes in conveying systems

Aeration nozzles made of silicone and sintered materials are specially developed for the bulk solids industry to make the transport and handling of bulk materials more efficient. They ensure a uniform air supply in bulk solids silos, conveying systems and containers, preventing caking, clogging or bridging, as well as the formation of dust in your system.

Our aeration nozzles offer outstanding features that make them a reliable solution for the bulk solids industry:

• Material variety:
  • Silicone: Flexible and resistant to extreme temperatures and chemical exposure. Ideal for use in aggressive environments or at higher temperatures where a wider operating range is required.
  • Sintered materials: These nozzles are made of highly porous materials that offer excellent air permeability and high strength. They are particularly durable, silent, and suitable for demanding applications in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
• Optimized aeration: The nozzles ensure uniform air distribution, optimizing the efficiency of aeration and de-mixing of bulk materials. This effectively prevents blockages and clogging in silos and containers.
• Durability and resistance: Thanks to their resistance to abrasion and corrosion, our nozzles offer a long service life and reduce maintenance costs.
• Easy installation: The modular aeration nozzles can be easily integrated into various plant systems and containers. Both internal and external installation are possible, reducing downtime.
• Versatile application: The aeration nozzles are ATEX– and FDA-compliant and are suitable for a wide range of industries, including the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, building materials industry and recycling industry.

RATEC aeration nozzles provide solutions for various applications in the bulk solids industry:

• Bulk material storage: In silos and storage tanks, the nozzles prevent bulk materials such as flour, sugar, grain, fertilizer, cement or plastic granules from caking.
• Conveying systems: They ensure a consistent material flow and prevent clogging in conveying systems, chutes or pipes.
• Packaging and filling processes: When filling bulk materials into big bags, containers or boxes, the nozzles ensure uniform aeration and material distribution.
• Chemical and pharmaceutical applications: In industrial processes where powders or granules are processed, the aeration nozzles optimize airflow and prevent dust formation.

Using aeration nozzles offers numerous advantages:

• Improved material flow: Targeted aeration prevents bridging and material blockages, ensuring smooth operation in silo and conveying systems.
• Energy efficiency: Optimized air distribution reduces air demand and leads to energy savings.
• Increased safety: By reducing dust accumulation and blockages, the risk of explosions or other hazards that can arise from dust formation is minimized.
• Durability and ease of maintenance: Robust materials ensure a long service life and make maintenance easier.
• Versatility: Our aeration nozzles are available in various sizes, colors and configurations and can be flexibly integrated into different systems.

Our aeration nozzles are used in a wide range of industries:

• Food industry (e.g., for storing flour and sugar)
• Pharmaceutical industry (e.g., in handling powders and granules)
• Chemical industry (e.g., in processing chemical substances)
• Building materials industry (e.g., for handling cement)
• Recycling industry (e.g., in processing recyclable materials)

RATEC aeration nozzles provide an efficient solution for optimizing bulk material processes across various industries. With a wide choice of materials, easy installation and reliable performance, they help keep your system running smoothly, save energy, and ensure your production processes remain safe and efficient.
