PACS is the only radial, pneumatic
cleaning system specifically
designed for bulk material handling
and designed to not damage
ceramic-lined chutes.
Pneumatic Accumulation Control System
PACS™
Specifically designed for bulk material, these automatic nozzle controls remove
material accumulation before pluggage can occur. Buildup is eliminated at points of
impact before it becomes large enough to break off and cause problems down the
line.
How it works
Using standard plant compressed air at 80 to 100 psig, PACS removes buildup of
wet or frozen sticky materials from the walls of chutes, bins, hoppers, silos, and
bunkers. Automatically, unsupervised, and without interfering with normal material
handling operations, loss of material flow due to pluggage is virtually eliminated
where PACS nozzles are correctly positioned.
The system’s electronic controls trigger PACS nozzles, firing in a predetermined
order. Each nozzle is supplied with a precise burst of plant air through a quick
open/close air-operated solenoid as compressed air is delivered sequentially to the
nozzles.
Each nozzle directs air 360° along the surface of the chute work for a distance of
approximately, 2-3 feet. It means PACS does not allow material to crust or layer,
dislodging and breaking up any potential accumulations so they can be easily
carried away by gravity and flowing material.
Simple to install and easy to maintain
PACS unique design includes a remote air tank and control station conveniently
accessible at ground level. This means there is no need to worry about installation
of large compressed air tanks on chutes, silos or bunkers. The PACS control system
panel and sequence timers can be located in an area convenient to operations,
making it easy to meet any changing air pressure and rate of sequencing
adjustments needed. Timing sequence and firing rates can be expanded
(supporting up to 45 different nozzles) to accommodate a variety of chute
configuration changes.
Automatic cleaning
Unlike air lancing, which can result in injury and insufficient cleaning, PACS clean
automatically and do not require confined space permits.
Large compressed air usage not required
PACS require standard 80 to 100 psig (15 SCFM, 0.1 sec.) plant compressed air and
operates on 120 VAC single phase power.
