A blast aerator for fluidizing granular material, comprising a container connected to a supply of compressed air, an aerator valve casing having a diaphragm chamber therein, a flexible resilient diaphragm dividing the chamber into first and second portions, a conduit connected between the container
A blast aerator for fluidizing granular material, comprising a container connected to a supply of compressed air, an aerator valve casing having a diaphragm chamber therein, a flexible resilient diaphragm dividing the chamber into first and second portions, a conduit connected between the container and the first portion, an air blast outlet connected to an outlet port in the first portion, the diaphragm including a valve member initially closing the port by the resilience of the diaphragm, a bleed opening in the diaphragm for pressurizing the second portion when the first portion is pressurized, and a control valve for opening and closing a vent outlet from the second portion, the control valve when closed allowing pressurization of the second portion, and, when open, exhausting the pressure therefrom, whereupon the pressure in the first portion opens the valve member and quickly releases the compressed air from the container to produce an air blast through the outlet.

A blast for quickly releasing a volume of compressed air to form an aerating air blast for facilitating the flow of granular material or the like, comprising a container for holding a volume of compressed air, means for supplying compressed air to said container, an aerator valve including a valve casing, air blast outlet means connected to said valve casing, air conduit means connected between said container and said valve casing, said valve casing having a diaphragm chamber therein, a flexible resilient diaphragm extending across said diaphragm chamber and dividing said diaphragm chamber into first and second chamber portions on opposite sides of said diaphragm, said valve casing including outlet port means communicating with said first diaphragm chamber portion and connecting with said air blast outlet means, said diaphragm having a valve member for selectively closing and opening said outlet port means, said valve member and said diaphragm being movable between a closed position in which said outlet port means is closed by said valve member and an open position in which said valve member is moved away from said outlet port means to open said outlet port means, said valve member being biased toward said closed position by the resilience of said diaphragm, said valve casing having an inlet opening affording communication between said first diaphragm chamber portion and said air conduit means, said valve casing including a vent opening communicating with said second diaphragm chamber portion, said aerator valve including bleed means forming restricted communication between said first and second diaphragm chamber portions for supplying compressed air to said second diaphragm chamber portion when compressed air is supplied to said first diaphragm chamber portion from said container through said air conduit means, and valve means connecting with said vent opening and operable between closed and open positions for selectively closing and opening communication between said second diaphragm chamber portion and a low pressure exhaust connection, said valve means when closed being effective to allow said first and second diaphragm chamber portions to become pressurized with compressed air while said valve member is in its closed position, said valve means when open being effective to exhaust the compressed air from said second diaphragm chamber portion whereupon the compressed air in said first diaphragm chamber portion acts upon said diaphragm to move said valve member to its open position whereby the compressed air in said container is quickly released and discharged as an air blast from said air blast outlet means, said valve member thereupon being returned to its closed position by the resilience of said diaphragm, said container and said aerator valve being separate modules, said air conduit means being in the form of a pipe connected between said container and said aerator valve.
