AZO’s Discharging Optimization – The proven Solution for better Product Flow.
Many times, during site visits to factories handling bulk material, the extent of damaged vessels, silos or containers is stunning - and the perpetrator is not far away! To have a modest possibility of getting sticky material back into the flow stream, operators often utilize hammers. They frequently must sacrifice valuable production time for unscheduled cleaning leading to downtimes.
The right design is the key to productivity.
While designing a new raw material handling system, several factors must be weighed-in — capacity, storage or buffer duration, system setup and layout, and how to protect the material from breakage, moisture, and contamination.
But there is another factor that greatly affects productivity and can lead to expensive hidden costs: the material flow. Some containers are more prone to bridging and arching, particularly above the discharge area. This can have an impact on productivity, product quality, and damaged vessels, all of which result in a loss of profit.
How to enhance and stimulate movements of bulk materials?
Material flow aids can help break through stuck material and promote on-demand flow.
Flow aid devices are internal or external devices that are used to assist in discharging materials from a bin, hopper, or silo. Typically, they are used when flow by gravity alone will not work or when it is impractical to provide the design that is required for reliable flow.
The flow aids come in all kinds of shapes and types:
However, there has been one product that has been standing out and became the proven solution for material activation. AZO’s Pneumatic Discharging Aids eliminate bridging, ratholes and material handling build-up. Strategically positioned nozzles emit high-pressure, high-volume, 360-degree bursts of compressed air to lift and sweep even the stickiest material back into the flow stream – clearing the way for higher factory and material handling efficiency.

The answer is nearby when AZO is involved.
We at AZO, the ingredient specialists, will identify and manage the performance problems. We develop a smart solution and after an economical and easy installation without extensive modifications, flushing and in some cases even cleaning the vessels, will reduce the number of faulty batches and loss of material. Leading to an increase of production capacity and operator productivity. Many of our clients confirm us that the return on investment occurs within a few months or even weeks.
Our discharging systems have been installed not only in newly planned ingredient handling automation systems, but also in older applications to help restore reliability and even material flow throughout the manufacturing process.
A variety of product models for a wide range of applications have been designed:
