Cyclonaire Corporation's Turbo-Inductor system is a fast, efficient new way to unload bulk materials at high rates over long distances from pneumatic bulk trailers.
When trailers cannot discharge close to storage facilities, the longer distance results in longer unloading times. The Turbo-Inductor overcomes the problem by enabling trailers with standard convey lines to be unloaded at much higher rates — without any modifications to the trailers.
The Turbo-Inductor is self-contained and comes mounted on a modular skid that includes the Turbo-Inductor, a blower sized specifically for the application, hose connections, and a NEMA-4 panel that automatically controls airflow based on line pressure. Each system is engineered to fit the demands of a particular facility. Line size and airflow are adjusted for such factors as the convey line length, number of elbows, and the desired unloading rate of the product to be transferred.
With the Turbo-Inductor, there is no need to use a tractor-mounted blower, thereby saving fuel and wear and tear on the equipment. Nor is the trailer modified in any way. Once the unit is set up at a particular plant or storage facility, unloading operations are routine and require minimal operator attention. Cyclonaire provides complete system engineering and can offer initial setup and operator training if needed.
Pneumatic bulk trailers normally have 4- or 5-inch discharge lines, which are suited for unloading over short distances. But traffic, the site layout, and other factors may require conveying over longer distances that markedly slow unloading and can increase product degradation. To solve this problem and speed the process, the bulk trailer's standard 4-inch material discharge hose is connected to the Turbo-Inductor, which balances flow and mixes additional air into the conveyed material as it enters 6-inch, 8-inch, or larger lines for conveying to the destination point or points.
