Equipment
The TEI Fluidizer uses advanced pneumatic modulation
technology (PMT) to improve discharge of fine powders from large
storage units (bunkers, silos and dome) equipped with air-slides.
The equipment has been successfully deployed at cement plants and
shipping terminals, significantly improving transfer of stagnant
cement ( i.e. the last 10 - 15%, often referred to as bin-bottoms) and Class C fly ash. The TEI Fluidizer can mobilize product
that has been stuck for five years or more; in one application, the
Fluidizer was able to extract cement that had been stuck for over 20
years.

Note:
The use of PMT and the TEI Fluidizer is
covered by US Patent 6,986,625. The purchaser of a TEI
Fluidizer is granted a single user license as part of each purchase.
This license is valid for the life of the equipment and is
considered transferable with whomever has legal possession of the
equipment.
TEI will conduct a trial to determine the site specific performance using a
full size Unit with quick connect
cam-locks.
In situations where access is limited we can use a smaller, lightweight 4" Trial
Unit.
In every trial performed to date, the TEI Fluidizer has
recovered sufficient product to pay for the trial several times over.
In many cases,
the product recovered during the trial has more than paid for the installation of a TEI Unit/s.
The model 2-6.2 (photo above) has several new features and improved design:
However; the critical core assembly that contains all
serviceable parts retains identical external dimensions. This
follows our philosophy and design intent for rapidly serviceable
exchange units that are fully interchangeable.
