Thanks to the external mounting bolt, they are fitted from the outside of the silo or container, and are also available on request as a high-temperature version rated up to 200\u00b0C. Like all RATEC silicone fluidisation pads, they are made entirely from FDA-compliant materials, making them suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications as well.  <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Table of Contents<\/h2><nav><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#so-funktioniert-die-beluftungsduse\">How the fluidisation pad works<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#technische-daten-kbd-100-a\">Technical Data KBD-100A<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#ihre-vorteile\">Your benefits<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#weitere-grossen-und-ausfuhrungen\">Other sizes and versions<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#welche-duse-passt-zu-ihrem-silo\">Which pad fits your silo?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<h4 id=\"so-funktioniert-die-beluftungsduse\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the fluidisation pad works<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The round pad body has a flexible silicone sleeve. When air pressure is applied, the sleeve opens and the air escapes evenly into the bulk material. The product is loosened, i.e. fluidised, and flows evenly out of the cone again. When the air pressure is removed, the sleeve closes automatically so that no bulk material enters the pad.   <\/p>\n\n<h4 id=\"technische-daten-kbd-100-a\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Data KBD-100A<\/h4>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>KBD-100A<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Size<\/td><td>\u00d8100mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Version<\/td><td>External mounting<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Connection<\/td><td>1\/4\u2033<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Material<\/td><td>Silicone \/ stainless steel 1.4305, FDA-compliant<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Operating pressure<\/td><td>1 to 6 bar<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Temperature<\/td><td>\u221260 \u00b0C to +80 \u00b0C, up to +200 \u00b0C as a high-temperature version<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Installation<\/td><td>from the outside, with external mounting bolt<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ATEX<\/td><td>compliant version on request<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The specified sizes are standard; other sizes and materials are available on request.<\/p>\n\n<h4 id=\"ihre-vorteile\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your benefits<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Self-closing:<\/strong> no product in the pad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FDA-compliant:<\/strong> silicone and stainless steel, suitable for food and pharmaceuticals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>External mounting:<\/strong> via the external mounting bolt, optionally also as a high-temperature version.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chemical-resistant:<\/strong> robust even with demanding products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Uniform material flow:<\/strong> no bridging, no blockages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4 id=\"weitere-grossen-und-ausfuhrungen\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other sizes and versions<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The KBD-100A is also available in another size: <a href=\"https:\/\/ratec-systems.com\/en\/type-kbd-60a-for-mounting-from-the-outside\/\">KBD-60A<\/a>.
