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.
