The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Air Cannon System Market Definition

The air cannon is a way to ‘see’ air as it moves objects within its blast zone. The air cannon system is also called air blaster. Air cannons consist of a compressed air reservoir with a quick opening valve, that releases the stored air in a sudden, high-energy blast. The blast is directed through a discharge pipe to oxygenate and remove material and restore flow. In direct blast air cannon, the air in the pressure vessel passes directly into the discharge pipe without numerous bends or obstructions in the air path. Also, the unobstructed path is important because the quicker the air discharges, the greater the velocity and force of the blast, therefore the greater the amount of material affected.

Furthermore, air cannon is an excellent way to solve bulk flow problems for a wide range of material clogs and jams, in hoppers of any size, high-temperature applications, and are well suited for large structures of any type. Moreover, air cannon installation requires the bunker wall to be drilled or cut to install the blaster nozzle inside the bunker. Additional access holes are also needed to attach the nozzle inside the bunker. Because of the need to access the interior of the bunker, it must first be vacant and cleaned prior to the installation. Therefore, each additional hole cut into the bunker is another potential apparatus for the material that fills the bunker. Air Cannons are activated manually or by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with a graphic Human Machine Interface (HMI) Timer, which controls the firing time interval and sequence of one or more air cannons.

Global Air Cannon System Market Overview

Air cannons have low air consumption since they collect air and are fired intermittently. They require only a small fraction of the air used to operate pneumatic vibrators. Also, air cannon wants minimal maintenance. Because of a single moving part, no springs, no motors, no bearings which act as the major key growth driver of the Air Cannon System Market. One of the major restraints of the market is that air cannons direct a concentrated, high-pressure burst of air into the bunker. The burst’s effectiveness is limited to the material directly in its path as the air dissipates quickly and is not transmitted efficiently throughout the bunker. This means that many more air cannons are required to influence material over the same area which hamper the growth of the market.

Also, air cannons operate by introducing a blast of high-pressure air into the bunker. This influx of oxidant can be a safety hazard in applications involving combustible material, such as coal. Also, inefficient cleanout of bunkers may lead operating personnel to hammer the hopper. This manual hammering threatens the safety of the operator and causes damage to the hopper which acts as a major restraint and diminishes the growth of the Air Cannon System Market. Moreover, use air cannon when other methods are too expensive, dangerous, or destructive or nothing else works. They are commonly used when it is not practical to apply vibration.

Global Air Cannon System Market Segmentation Analysis
