Control Concepts Inc. launches new and re-engineered pneumatic flow aid system

The AirSweep MAX (short for Material Activation Xcellence) improves on the performance of its predecessor AirSweep^®, which is already installed in half of the S&P 500 companies and thousands of SMEs worldwide.

“Our original AirSweep was already in a product class of its own”, said Eric Esselstyn, Director of Sales at Control Concepts. “When all else fails, like fluidisers and industrial vibrators, AirSweep could lift and sweep even the stickiest materials into the flow stream without damaging the vessel. “It gives more power per pulse, more durability, lower energy costs and the longest warranty in the industry.”

New global patents

The new AirSweep MAX uses aerospace-grade design specs and has 20 patented improvements and six proprietary parts. The AirSweep MAX is available in the VA-51 model and is ideal for bins, silos, hoppers, chutes, mixers, and other material handling equipment. Its improved performance shortens equipment cleaning time, which reduces downtime and increases available production time.

More power and productivity with less energy

Laboratory tests proved that AirSweep MAX delivers 52% more output pressure and 31% more air output than the original AirSweep.

This means plants have the option to either increase the speed of material flow, or lower the operating pressure to get the same flow with less energy and plant air.

AirSweep MAX can also run at lower standard operating ranges of 60 to 80 psi, making it more accessible to plants with air supply constraints.

The AirSweep MAX’s stronger force and faster, more free-flowing air stream is a result of the proprietary redesign of the internals which maximise the flow of air from supply to discharge.

As its name suggests, these improvements are meant to achieve 'material activation excellence' in terms of productivity, speed and cost-efficiency.

Foolproof assembly, easy maintenance, long warranty

The AirSweep MAX can be assembled in minutes with no special tools, and is ideal for field servicing and assembly. Maintenance is only required after 1 000 000 cycles and with a seven year warranty – the longest in the industry – the AirSweep MAX helps ensure less downtime at the plant.

Pricing and availability

The AirSweep MAX is sold either as a stand-alone component or included as part of a complete package engineered specifically for the customer's application, with all accessories needed for operation and ready for easy field installation.

“You can’t copy quality and durability”, said Henry Tiffany, President of Control Concepts, Inc. “We already know how well the original AirSweep works, and now it’s even better performance for the same cost? The MAX will be the last flow aid our customers will ever need.”

The AirSweep MAX is available now and sold by the manufacturer Control Concepts, Inc. and through its worldwide network of partners.
