The Monitor Flo-Pad bin aerator is a device used to promote the flow of dry bulk powders from a storage vessel without the noise and damaging vibration caused by pneumatic or electric vibrators. The Flo-Pad uses multiple Evassers mounted on a single air plenum chamber inside the vessel and is capable of aerating many types of bulk powders and granular solids in bins, hoppers and silos including some of the most difficult applications.
While the Flo-Pad is able to discharge air at up to 80 psi (5.5 bar) to help dislodge and move settled materials, the single Flo-Pad is used to maintain flow ability of material with a constant 2 to 5 psi (0.14 to 0.35 bar) supply of air.
Unlike other types of aerators that use cotton or canvas to diffuse the air, the Flo-Pad uses multiple Evassers, which are less likely to be bound or clogged due to moisture. In addition, the Flo-Pad is not as prone to back-flow of material because the standard neoprene boot on the Evassers expands to let the pressurized air out and contracts when the air is shut off blocking the air outlets from material back flow.
