Sonic Horn
During the handling of powders and bulk solids, sonic or acoustic cleaners help to remove dry particulate buildup, which increases system efficiency, reduces downtime and maintenance costs, and helps to avoid structural fatigue and damage. This sonic horn produces a low-frequency, high-pressure sound wave using compressed air to cause a titanium diaphragm to flex. The sound wave is then magnified as it is emitted through the cleaner’s bell. The pressure created by the sound wave causes dry particulate deposits to resonate and become fluidized, allowing them to be removed by gas flow or gravity. These sonic horns are well suited for use in boilers, heat exchangers, economizers, baghouses, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) processes, induced-draft (ID) fans, electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), silos, hoppers, cyclones, and more.

Martin Electric Screen Vibrator
The Martin Electric Screen Vibrator provides 7,700 lb of centrifugal force to sort or separate material. The explosionproof model has UL, cUL, and ATEX certification for use in hazardous locations around the world, and the high-strength cast aluminum cases are IP66-7 dust-tight and watertight. The dual-voltage units can be used in locations with different electrical power supply voltages. The vibrator features simple installation — bolt it in, wire it up, and turn it on — and low maintenance, requiring only periodic lubrication of the long-life cylinder roller bearings.
