Dracyon considers the common weaknesses of air cannons, and explains how they can be overcome. Accepting widely held assumptions is a great hindrance to productivity. Breakthroughs often occur when assumptions are challenged. This is the case for air cannon technology. Many plants assume their air cannons are technologically advanced. The reality is that most air…

This video highlights one of the most overlooked contributors to air cannon performance: proper sealing. Even when systems are equipped with the right pressure, tank size, and nozzle configuration, a compromised seal can significantly reduce effectiveness. Air loss at the valve or discharge point prevents energy from being fully delivered into the buildup zone, which…

This video focuses on one of the most overlooked components of air cannon systems: the nozzle. While many operations prioritize tank size or pressure, the discussion highlights how nozzle design ultimately controls how energy is delivered into the process. Poorly designed or misapplied nozzles can disperse air inefficiently, reducing impact and allowing buildup to persist,…

Material buildup in riser ducts continues to be a major source of inefficiency and downtime in cement and energy plants. In this discussion, Jeff Shelton highlights a key shift in approach: it’s not just about installing air cannons, but about placing and configuring them correctly. Many legacy systems rely on outdated positioning and nozzle designs…

In this episode of All About Air Cannons, Peter Klee of IGS (Industrial Gas Systems) joins the discussion to share insights from decades of experience working with compressed air systems and industrial gas technologies. The conversation explores how compressed air infrastructure directly impacts the performance and reliability of air cannon systems, along with common challenges…

This video demonstrates the evolution of air cannon nozzle design and why selecting the correct nozzle is critical to effective material flow cleaning. The demonstration compares traditional nozzle concepts with modern high-velocity designs, showing how airflow direction, velocity, and coverage dramatically affect cleaning performance. By examining different nozzle geometries and installation approaches, the video highlights…

Air cannons are a standard feature in every cement plant, no matter how large or small the plant. They serve as the essential cleaning tool to maintain peak performance and prevent expensive shutdowns. But there’s a catch: It’s not just about installing air cannons—it’s about applying them correctly.

This video demonstrates how acoustic cleaning technology can be used to remove ash, dust, and buildup from industrial equipment without causing damage to the catalyst structure. Acoustic cleaners use low-frequency, high-energy sound waves to break up particulate deposits and keep surfaces clear, allowing systems like SCR catalysts, ducts, and heat-exchange equipment to maintain proper airflow…

This video highlights how proper catalyst maintenance can significantly extend the operational life of SCR catalyst systems used in industrial emissions control. By removing fouling, ash buildup, and other contaminants that restrict airflow and reaction efficiency, facilities can restore catalyst performance and avoid the costly need for premature replacement. The footage illustrates the impact of…
