Direct blaster

Safety measure to eliminate obstruction

This product is used for the following applications:

  • 01Beer manufacturer: prevention of blockage in storage silo of malt pomace
  • 02Prevention of blockage in fine sand silo
  • 03Prevention of blockage in ready-mixed concrete silo in dam site
  • 04Prevention of blockage in fractured textile storage hopper in textile factory

Features

This device instantly injects compressed air that has been stored under pressure into powders and granular materials blocked in large tanks or silos, breaking the blocked powder and granular materials with explosive force. Manually eliminating blockages in tanks and silos is dangerous and may cause personal injury. Direct Blaster replaces these dangerous tasks with the push of a button, allowing you to solve the problem safely and with peace of mind.


Resolving blockages in powder and granular material storage facilities

Operating principle of Direct blaster

1.When compressed air is supplied through a three-way valve, the mushroom valve is pushed to the exhaust port.
2.The compressed air passing through the valve pushes the piston towards the discharge port.
3.The piston is pushed to its limit and blocks the discharge port, and the compressed air is charged into the tank through the tube.
4.Charging is complete when the supply pressure equals the pressure inside the tank.
5.When the three-way valve is switched, the compressed air inside the mushroom valve and piston is exhausted, drawn to the opposite side, and the compressed air in the tank is instantly ejected from the discharge port.
The video of working principle.


High unblockage effectiveness.

It blasts air directly on the material from the outside of storage, it is more effective and reducing dead stock in the silo.

Direct blaster

Safety first

Solving blockages inside tanks and silos had been done manually by operators, but it carries risks and easy to cause accident and personal injury. To prevent such risks, the blaster is widely adopted in many sites these days.

Direct blaster

Variable injection power by air pressure adjustment.

Using the mushroom valve system, injection power can be adjusted by changing supply air pressure.

Direct blaster

Improve maintainability

The consumable parts inside the valve can be replaced on-site, improving maintainability.

Optional parts

Direct blaster


A wide variety of options according to the usage.

The automatic control type allows manual operation, automatic single cycle operation and automatic contunuous operation by the select switch, enabling user to run the blaster according to the blockage condition.

Installation method

Multiple units of direct Blaster can be remotely operated by our control panel.
When operating a single unit, it can be controlled either manually or electrically. Additionally, when handling particulate matter with a risk of dust explosion by electric operation, safe operation can be ensured by replacing the three-way solenoid valve with an explosion-proof specification.
When installing multiple blasters on the same air supply source or using them together with aeration, please be sure to individually install check valves on the air supply side before the solenoid valve to prevent mulfunction due to pressure reduction on the primary side.

●Manual

Method for calculating the required air volume.


V: Required air volume
Vo: Total tank capacity of the blaster
P: Operating air pressure(MPa) → M: Operating cycle(min)
e.g.) In case of using EDB2.5-30A x 6 units at an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, with a interval of 5 minutes.


2.2 kW compressor will be sufficient for using it.
※Please use a compressor with a discharge air volume of 200 L/min (ANR) or more (1.5 kW or higher).
In case of using a compressor with a discharge air volume of less than 200 L/min (ANR), connect a receiver tank of 10 L or more directly before the three-way solenoid valve.
