VIBCO's Air Cannons will solve your material flow problem.

The VIBCO Air Cannon consists of a high pressure tank storing compressed air (80 to 125 PSI) and a quick release piston valve that, on command, instantly releases compressed air into the bin or silo to fluidize material. A VIBCO Air Cannon can be used to solve a variety of bin material flow problems:

ARCHING Material sticks at the end or above the sloping section of the bin	BRIDGING Material hangs in the lower sloping section of the bin
RATHOLING Material clings to sides of bin and creates a void or dead storage	STICKING TO SIDES OF BIN Material clings to the sides of the bin instead of flowing through the opening

VIBCO Air Cannons Feature a Revolutionary, Double-Piston Design

VIBCO Air Cannons feature a double piston that fits loosely in the cylinder without the need for a tight tolerance fit. The air pressure behind the piston forces it against the valve seat where it attains a perfect seal, without an O-ring. It cannot jam, clog, or stick - even if foreign material enters the valve.
