Air Cannon or Vibrator? Maintaining Material Flow in Any Application

Material buildup, bridging, rat-holing, and flow interruptions can bring production to a halt, increase maintenance costs, and create safety risks. When material flow problems arise, two of the most common solutions are industrial vibrators and air cannons, but choosing the right technology is not always straightforward.

Air Cannon, Transfer Point
Join Martin Engineering for this practical webinar as we compare air cannons and vibrators, explore where each technology performs best, and discuss how proper application can help improve productivity, reduce downtime, and minimize manual intervention. Whether you're dealing with silos, hoppers, chutes, bunkers, or transfer points, you'll gain valuable insight into selecting the most effective flow aid for your operation. The discussion will cover how these technologies are commonly used to address buildup and flow restrictions in a variety of bulk material handling applications.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The differences between air cannons and industrial vibrators and how each promotes material flow
  • Common causes of buildup, bridging, rat-holing, and flow disruptions
  • How material characteristics influence flow aid selection
  • Best practices for determining when a vibrator, air cannon, or combination of both is the right solution
  • Application examples from industries such as mining, cement, aggregates, grain, and bulk material processing
  • How properly applied flow aids can improve safety, reduce maintenance, and support production goals
