BIG BLASTER® TORNADO Air Cannon

Positive action takes a big step up the evolutionary ladder for air cannon design to provide greater force, faster cycles, and improved safety. The BIG BLASTER® TORNADO Air Cannon produces better material flow with greater force, faster cycling and improved safety. The BIG BLASTER® TORNADO Air Cannon fires when the new patent-pending exhaust valve opens in response to a positive surge of air sent by a tripped solenoid valve. This positive-acting valve amplifies the discharge force, producing up to 20% more power than a standard BIG BLASTER® XHV Valve of the same size.

Effective Boost to Solids Flow

High-velocity discharge of compressed air improves material movement.

Amplify Your Output

Positive-acting valve amplifies discharge force, for 20% more power from the same size air cannon.

Suitable for High-Temperature Applications

BIG BLASTER® TORNADO Air Cannons are suitable for high-temperature applications such as cement kiln pre-heater towers and coolers.

A Safer System

Positive action means air cannon will not fire when source pressure is removed.

Easier Installation and Maintenance

Positive action allows solenoids to be mounted 100 feet (30.48 m) or more from the air cannon. Lubrication is not required.

MARTIN® TORNADO Exhaust Valve U.S. and International Patents Pending. XHV Aerator Valve Assembly is protected by U.S. Patent No. 5,853,160.

Match To Your Application

BIG BLASTER® TORNADO Air Cannon is available in three valve sizes and ten tank sizes.

Since 1974, BIG BLASTER® Air Cannons have been used around the world to prevent buildups and improve material flow. Martin Engineering is the leader in the application of air cannon technology to overcome bottlenecks and boost flow through high-capacity vessels.
