Material Flow Challenges in Mining
Mineral commodities may be common, but that doesn’t make them easier to handle. Their characteristics can affect their flow, and pose challenges during storage, processing and packaging.
Material Segregation
Differences in size and density cause uneven flow and poor blend quality.
Ratholing
Material forms a narrow channel above the outlet while the rest stays stagnant.
Flooding / Flushing
Flow becomes unstable as material floods the outlet instead of feeding steadily.
Plugged Outlets
Moist or compacted material blocks the outlet and halts flow.
Best Flow Aid for MIned Materials
AirSweep’s high-pressure pulses keep all mined materials moving—from fine gypsum to coarse, heavy rock.
Unlike air cannons or vibrators, AirSweep doesn’t cause metal fatigue, protecting your bins from additional stress.
The Proof is in the Flow!
