Compressed air is supplied to the air blaster through (3/8”) stainless

steel pipeline controlled by a Solenoid Valve to Quick Exhaust Valve. The
diaphragm of Quick Exhaust Valve closes the 1” outlet. The compressed
air flows past the diaphragm into the piston chamber. The spring-loaded
piston keeps the blast discharge pipe closed. The compressed air flows
through an opening in the Piston into the receiver and charge it with air
until the pressure in it become equal to that in the supply pipeline. The
pressure in the receiver is maintained and the unit is now ready for
FIRING.

By actuating the Solenoid Valve both the control air in the pipeline and
the compressed air stored up behind the piston are released by
simultaneously actuation of Quick Exhaust Valve. The compressed air
stored inside the receiver make the piston to lift off its seat and after
moving equal to only one forth of the outlet pipe diameter release the
whole discharge cross section without restriction loss.

The air is blown very rapidly within milliseconds into the

Bunker/Hopper/Silos and Chutes etc. so that an almost explosive effect
is obtained. The piston spring now forces the piston back to its initial
position so that the outlet is closed again and no material can get into the
interior of vessel.
