Airsweep / Control Concepts

AirSweep, developed by Control Concepts, serves as a remarkable material activation system designed to eradicate challenges like bridging, ratholes, and material buildup in handling processes. This ingenious solution employs specialized nozzles that emit forceful, 360-degree bursts of compressed air, effectively dislodging stalled material and reintegrating it into the flow stream. The outcome is a clear path toward heightened factory efficiency and improved material handling procedures.

 

The system's impact is profound, enabling customers to curtail flushing and cleaning time between product runs, enhance product quality through uniformity, and avert equipment damage from vibration and stress. Formerly known as Myrlen AirSweep, this robust and adaptable material flow system finds its relevance across diverse sectors, encompassing food and agriculture, construction and mining, and the chemicals industry.

 

The versatility of the AirSweep system is exemplified by its utilization of pressurized air pulses, making it suitable for a range of applications. Installable externally to vessels, it simplifies cleaning and maintenance processes. Operating efficiently within a 4-foot radius, it accommodates dry, wet, or adhesive materials, emitting a gentle hiss with each pulse. This sound quality ensures no container fatigue, rendering it usable even with thin-skinned bins. Moreover, AirSweep is economical, utilizing minimal compressed air for intermittent pulsing, contributing to its low operational costs.
