Does the poor flow cause hours of downtime or affect the quality of your product? Have you tried other flow aids but still ended up manually clearing out the material blocks?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn how to improve material handling quickly and efficiently. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/controlconceptsusa.com\/airsweep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AirSweep<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a pneumatic flow aid that works on the toughest materials and uses less energy and plant air than other flow aids. It is used in all industries and is installed in thousands of plants around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How does AirSweep work?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AirSweep releases high-pressure bursts of air that dislodges material and sweeps it back into the flow stream.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The AirSweep units are strategically positioned around the vessel and then programmed to release bursts of air in a controlled sequence. This sequence is precisely calibrated to match the characteristics of your material. You get <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">better <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flow while using less air than flow aids that run continuously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike vibrators and other mechanical flow aids, AirSweep\u2019s air pulses do not damage vessel walls. You don\u2019t even have to deal with any hammering noises \u2013 AirSweep releases a quiet hiss that is further muffled by the material in the vessel. You won\u2019t hear a thing!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the biggest benefit of AirSweep is that you are guaranteed to get reliable, first-in \/ first-out flow. Watch these AirSweep videos to see it in action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>AirSweep vs. Liquid Cheese<\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Liquid Cheese Blend Material Flow Test\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/425686545?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve ever tried to grate mozzarella, you know how cheese can get sticky and difficult to handle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine trying to handle an entire hopper full of melted, gooey cheese.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other flow aids clearly won\u2019t work. Fluidizers can\u2019t activate such a heavy solid, air cannons will leave cheese residue on the vessel walls, and vibrators will only make the cheese more compact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who moved the cheese? AirSweep. You can also read another success story of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/controlconceptsusa.com\/case-history\/airsweep-slices-through-sticky-food-just-like-an-air-knife\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AirSweep in the cheese industry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and how it improved the material handling of whey protein concentrate. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>AirSweep vs. Chopped Tobacco<\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Chopped Tobacco Material Flow Test\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/435094990?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chips, fibers, flakes, and shavings are irregularly shaped and have a tendency to clump together. That\u2019s why shredded paper makes great packing material \u2013 the individual strands form a nest that protects precious cargo. But it can be a headache if you\u2019re trying to process these materials in your plant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once again, AirSweep proves that it\u2019s the best way to improve material handling. It isn\u2019t just used in the tobacco industry. Its particular effectiveness for fibers and flakes makes it a popular choice for the paper and construction industries, or any plant that uses <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/controlconceptsusa.com\/video\/recycled-material-flow-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recycled materials.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>AirSweep vs. Damp, Compacted Fish Powder<\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Material Flow Test Fish Powder\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/425630876?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Many processes involve mixing powders and liquids, resulting in a very dense solution that can become compact during handling or prolonged storage. Most flow aids won\u2019t be able to move this sticky paste very efficiently \u2013 which is why most plants will need to shut down operations to get workers to clear out the vessels.<\/p>\n<p>Skip the downtime, the hammering noises, and the hassle of having to clean your vessels by hand. AirSweep works even on damp, dense solids. Just turn it on, and walk away to focus on other parts of the plant.<\/p>\n<h2>AirSweep vs. Calcium Carbonate<\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Calcium Carbonate Material Flow Test\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/425622750?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calcium carbonate is a sluggish powder that is prone to packing and sticking to vessel surfaces. It can clog hoppers, build up inside convey lines and filter bags, and cake in filter bags and cartridges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many powders that exhibit similar properties, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/controlconceptsusa.com\/case-history\/airsweep-full-speed-ahead\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">carbon black<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/controlconceptsusa.com\/case-history\/airsweep-prescription-for-poor-material-flow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">acetaminophen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/controlconceptsusa.com\/case-history\/airsweep-system-fixes-several-flow-issues-along-titanium-dioxide-processing-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">titanium dioxide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> just to name a few. But AirSweep helped companies move those materials, just like it moves the calcium carbonate in this video.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>AirSweep vs. Cement Mix<\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Cement Mix Material Flow Test (Straight Shooters)\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/682074224?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the standard AirSweep releases air pulses in 360-degrees (ideal for silos, hoppers, and other similarly-shaped vessels), the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/controlconceptsusa.com\/airsweep-straight-shooter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AirSweep straight shooter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> releases air in a vertical column (ideal for chutes, ducts or specific hard-to-reach areas like pipe elbows).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why many <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/controlconceptsusa.com\/material-flow-analysis-on-cement-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/controlconceptsusa.com\/mined-materials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mining\/mined materials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> companies use AirSweep to move materials across different stages of the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to improve material handling of tough materials<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At AirSweep, we like to say that \u2018the proof is in the flow.\u201d We are trusted by the world\u2019s biggest companies because of our <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">proven <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">effectiveness for all types of materials.
