Features

The Air knocker series (direct impact type) are unique equipment in which the force of compressed air causes the piston to strike the hopper wall surface directly and energetically, which eliminate the adhesion or clogging of powder. In addition, this knocker is excellent in safety and economics because it can be used only by air supply, and it can be used safely for powder that has a characteristic to show adhesion when receiving the centrifugal force. While the indirect impact type strikes the mounted knocker base at a predetermined position, the air knocker is used in wider range of applications on your idea, such as striking the moving object and striking the target with the knocker itself moved. It is also used like the indirect impact type.


Operating principle of Air knocker

1. The compressed air flowed into the knocker is first supplied to the valve chamber to depress the mushroom valve and then is stored in the accumulator.

2. When the three-way valve is actuated to exhaust the air from the valve chamber, the compressed air in the accumulator moves the mushroom valve upward.

3. When the mushroom valve moves, the compressed air in the accumulator depresses the piston energetically, which strikes the base surface. That impact force eliminates the adhesion or blockage of powder.


Achieved miniaturization and weight reduction

Relay knocker RKD-PB has achieved miniaturization while maintaining the same tank capacity as the old model. In addition, the weight has been reduced by changing the cylinder to aluminum die casting.

Air knocker(Direct impact type)

Air knocker impact force can be changed only by adjusting the supply air pressure.

Air knocker(Direct impact type)

Can be operated multiple air knocker units with using relay piping mechanism.
