Airmatic, Inc.’s Martin Conveyor and Vessel Clean-out Solutions


With more than 70 years of experience, Airmatic, Inc., offers a wide range of wholesale industrial machinery services and products. Airmatic, Inc.’s client base spans the government and commercial sectors, with installation and technical support geared to power production facilities, paper mills, and silo operations. In the latter sphere, Airmatic, Inc.’s solutions include state-of-the-art tools such as the Martin HD bin whip and the Martin bin drill tool for cleaning-out silos, hoppers and bins. 

The bin drill tool assists in the silo clean-out process through a remotely-controlled hydraulic-powered drilling system. It creates a viable flow channel even in situations of serious material blockages. The high-power bin-drill can bore open paths through materials extending as deep as 150 feet. 

The bin whip tool addresses materials stuck to the vessel’s interior walls which can create confined-space entry issues if not cleaned from outside the vessel. Material build-up in silos not only decreases storage capacity but can cause contamination issues. Other advanced solutions for silo cleaning include the compressed-air powered Sonic Horn, which provides an acoustic cleaning approach to fluidizing and clearing dry particulate deposits.
