Solimar Pneumatics

Solimar Pneumatics is a leading designer and supplier of aeration systems and engineered components for the dry bulk material handling industry.

Solimar is backed by over 40 years of experience specializing in aeration devices and discharge aids that assist the pneumatic flow of dry products like cement and flour.

Solimar services hundreds of customers worldwide with thousands of applications in over-the-road truck trailers and lorries, intermodal containers, railcars, and storage silos. Solimar products are used in over 60 countries around the world assisting in the movement of over 100 different material types.

SILO PRODUCTS

SILO FLUIDIZER

Solimar Pneumatics offer a family of silo fluidizers that promote the discharge of dry products from storage silos, dust collectors, weigh bins and IBC's. Solimar fluidizers enable a uniform flow of most dry bulk materials through aeration and hopper wall vibration that helps prevent bridging, rat holing and compacting.

EMPTY SILOS FAST WITH SOLIMAR FLUIDIZERS

• Aeration loosens product allowing it to flow – minimum back pressure puts energy where it is needed the most – in the silo.

• Directional Air Flow – forces air to move along the bin wall, freeing product, assuring good clean-out.

• Gentle Vibration – keeps product flowing, without allowing it to compact or plug.

• No Airline plugging. Patented disk seals tightly against the silo wall and prevents airline plugging.

• Robust Design. Will not tear if cut, pick up moisture and is unaffected by temperatures up to 350° F (170° C),

• Material Compatible. Silicone rubber standard in blue or white (both food grade/FDA approved), or black or white EPDM.

• Versatility. Numerous combinations of stems, fittings and airlines to fit your application. Can be used with high pressure/low volume compressed air or with low pressure/ high volume blower air.

• Easy Installation. Fits both conical and square bins, EZ-In (Easy-In) kits also available for installation without getting inside the bin.

EZ-IN SILO FLUIDIZER

Solimar Pnuematic’s E-Z IN Silo Fluidizer assemblies are ideal for retrofitting existing hoppers or bins, or when frequent inspection and maintenance is required.

Installs from the outside - quickly and easily

Now, no one has to go down inside the silo or bin to install or replace a silo fluidizer. So, when you get tired of plugged up fabric aeration pads, you can replace them with Solimar's new E-Z IN Silo Fluidizer and you can do it directly from the outside of the hopper. Once Installed, you can also perform regular inspection and maintenance as required from the outside, saving you both time and money.

Solimar's E-Z IN Silo Fluidizer features a Solimar’s patented silicone disk (Silo Fluidizer) that will not plug, harden or crack. Solimar’s unique gasket material allows the mounting plate to seal against the silo wall, while compensating for any imperfections of the old installation to make a tight seal with no leaks. The gasket is permanently fixed to the mounting plate. E-Z IN assemblies can be used with either flat or conical hoppers.

Built to last. No additional wear plate is needed with the Solimar E-Z IN. A zinc plated carbon steel mounting plate offers excellent wear resistance with even the most abrasive materials.

Food grade available. A standard oval style Solimar E-Z IN Silo Fluidizer is available in stainless steel for food grade applications.

The Solimar E-Z IN is available in three styles: Each model will retro-fit with most existing hole patterns. You can rely on Solimar's experience and its tradition of quality parts and excellent service. Call, write or fax for full details.

DISK FLUIDIZER

FOR DRY BULK TANK TRAILERS

Solimar Pneumatic's disk fluidizer system provides aeration, vibration and directional air flow required for rapid unloading of dry bulk trailers and containers.

Unlike fabric pads that plug or wear out and have to be replaced regularly, the Disk Fluidizer won't pick up moisture which can cause mildew.

The Fluidizer can also be retrofitted to replace older aeration cones. Whether you are hauling cement, flour, starch, fly ash, or any dry bulk material, the Solimar Disk Fluidizer will make your job easier.

How it Works. Pressurized air enters the exterior manifold and is forced through the opening of the tank's hopper wall. The fluidizer disk disperses the air along the inside of the hopper. Near the end of the unloading cycle the fluidizer begins to vibrate. This combination of air flow and vibration of the disk prevents bridging and rat holing while generating quick product flow to the outlet and ensuring good cleanout of the trailer.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Why use the Solimar Aeration System?

Click Here to SEE THE DIFFERENCE

Solimar Fluidizers have superior sealing properties at the outer edge of the aerator rubber that conforms to any hopper configuration, whether it is flat or curved. They also seal completely to the hopper or wear plate to stop the back flow of product into aeration lines - even when flood loading.

Solimar Fluidizers have been designed to provide the optimum amount of air volume for efficient pneumatic unloading of your bulk trailer. Don't be fooled by claims of faster unloading because of higher air flow rates. When too much air is used, you unload more air and less product.

Solimar Fluidizers have a robust design that doesn't have weak snap retention legs that can break off or flimsy disks that crack and wear prematurely.

The stainless steel wear plate has a 1 1/2" opening that conforms to the trailer industry standard of 1 1/2" holes in the hopper. Solimar recommends stainless wear plates where wear of the hopper wall is of concern in abrasive materials such as sand or cement.

Solimar Fluidizers have external manifold housings that are available in 1, 2, or 3 ports. Material is either a Clear-view engineered plastic or an ultra tough grey nylon. Fluidizer component parts are manufactured from F.D.A. approved materials and will withstand operating temperatures up to 350? F

Solimar Fluidizer components can be used as direct replacements for Sure Seal, Fruehauf, Heil or Polar aerators.

The Solimar Fluidizers proven history makes it possible to offer a warranty longer than that of any competitor in the tank truck industry. With thousands of parts always in stock, on-time delivery is assured.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Solimar Pneumatic's Research and Development Center is unmatched in the industry. Solimar's pneumatic test facility allows our engineers to develop and test new products and to analyze the performance of existing pneumatic components.

Solimar has a long history as a pioneer in the industry. PD (pressure differential) technology brought Keith Solimar to the United States from his native Sweden in 1958. As a young man he came to North America to introduce the Swedish-developed Interconsult trailer. Keith later formed Nordic Trailer Company in partnership with Ron Johnson to develop bulk trailer sales for the emerging dry bulk market in the United States.

Keith's interests always centered on understanding and promoting pressure differential technology, and his devotion and passion to engineered solutions led to the development of this unique and specialized facility.

Solimar's Research and Development Center consists of large instrumented hopper tanks, where multiple computerized measurements are recorded during pneumatic transfer of the bulk material. Variable piping arrangements can be configured to represent unloading lines up to 170 feet long and with pipe diameters from 2" to 8".

Highly accurate measurements of weight transfer from one tank to the other, elapse time, air flow rates and pressures at multiple points in the system allow our experts to know what works best. No guessing here. Solimar is the dry bulk discharge expert.

The Solimar Research and Development facility has a choice of two air sources. One is a diesel driven Gardner-Denver Cyclo blower to provide one bar pressure (14.5 psi) commonly used in North America. The other, a MAN screw compressor to provide up to two bar (29 psi), to simulate the high-pressure, low-volume air typically used in European unloading operations. In addition, a large tipping tank is available to simulate the non-hopper tipping tanks for dry bulk products popular in Europe.

By controlling the tank pressure or adjusting the booster air, a series of tests can show the characteristics of specific pneumatic components in the unloading system, or determine the best pressure and volume to isolate the optimum flow rate for various dry products. Solimar has charted the unloading curves for hundreds of dry bulk products.

MATERIAL APPLICATIONS

Solimar Pneumatic's products have been used with over a hundred different types of dry bulk materials in over 60 countries in the world. Particle size, fat and moisture content, particle interlocking characteristics and bin configuration all effect fluidization. Call us for a check list to determine if we can solve your problem.
