  Product Spotlight

Pulse Jet Bin Vent
Airlanco

This pulse jet bin vent compliments the company’s other industrial air filtration equipment to provide total dust collection solutions. The bin vent utilizes pulse jet action to keep pneumatic systems running clean and in compliance with local air quality regulations. They filter leftover product dust and debris that is captured in the conveying air before it is vented from storage bins.

The unit is an excellent method for venting silos, bins, or hoppers as they are pneumatically filled with dry bulk materials—such as feed ingredients, flour, chemicals, cement, and more—from bulk trucks or other sources.
The bin vent features preset timers that clean the filter media automatically with pulse jet air flow—removing 99 percent of entrained particles and dropping retained material back into the process for maximum efficiency.

They can be furnished to handle air volumes ranging from 50 to 5,000 cu ft per minute, depending on the application. It is designed to handle demanding dust collection jobs and has no moving parts to wear out for easier maintenance. It features rugged welded housings and is compact in design and easy to install.
