Air Knocker Control Box with Solenoid Valve (Indoor)
Product Overview
The HKE Type controller features a built-in solenoid valve and controls the operating interval of Air Knockers. It supports two independent lines (A and B) and is available in 100 V, 200 V, and indoor-use HKE1000 Series models.
While a standard setup controls a single Air Knocker, relay piping allows one controller to operate up to three units. This reduces system complexity and helps lower installation costs when multiple Air Knockers are used on the same hopper.
Key Features
Control Multiple Air Knockers with One Control Panel
The HKE Type control panel is designed to operate Air Knockers such as the RKV, RKD, and RKVS series. The maximum number of Air Knockers that can be operated simultaneously under a standard piping configuration is as follows:
RKVS15: up to 10 units
RKV/RKVS20 and RKV/RKD/RKVS30: up to 8 units
RKV/RKD/RKVS40 and RKV/RKD/RKVS60: up to 6 units
RKV/RKD80 and RKV/RKD100: up to 4 units
RKV/RKD120: up to 2 units.
The above figures represent the maximum number of units that can be operated simultaneously per operating line.
Relay piping enables operation of up to 10 Air Knockers per operating line, regardless of model type.
External Signal Control
The HKE Type controller can receive external signals through dry contacts, allowing Air Knocker operation to be automatically triggered by hopper discharge valves, conveying lines, and other process equipment.
It also enables convenient remote operation as part of an automated control system.
HKE Wiring Precaution
By connecting a switch (dry contact) to terminals 4 and 5 on the terminal block, the HKE Type controller can be controlled remotely from external equipment.
