AIR CANNONS - AIR BLASTERS
- these employ an unidirectional" blast" of high-pressure air to try and remove blockages that have already occured. That is why you always see groups of air cannons on any part of an application. Therefore the initial purchase cost is high as is the installation cost, in addition to the increased cost to satisfy their compressed air requirements. Sonic Horns/Acoustic Cleaners prevent the build up from occurring in the first place and therefore surely 'prevention is a better choice than an attempted cure' as with air cannons. Also remember that sound waves travel in a 360° radius at a speed of 344 metres /1130 feet per second through air and five times that speed through solids, therefore a single Acoustic Cleaner can be much more effective, at less cost in terms of purchase price, installation and operation.
