Did you know that the use of acoustic vibrations (sound) has been an effective and well-accepted practice for fluidizing unwanted dust and agglomerated particulate in air pollution control and process equipment?
The acoustic vibrations are produced with equipment known as sonic horns and they have been found to be particularly useful in reverse-air and shaker baghouses. Typically, sonic horns used in baghouse operations operate by producing low frequency, high-decibel acoustic energy – sound in the range of 60 to 250 Hz, at intensities up to 150 dB. Sonic horns are typically best able to dislodge dust and particulate matter more effectively at lower frequencies.
