Industries for ATD-CARDOX
🔍 learn moreImportant advantages of the ATD-System for these applications:
- ATD-Pressure Gas Tubes are used as “ready for action” charges. They are safe to handle and transport
- ATD-Pressure Gas Tubes work with cold CO2 gas. It is therefore, considered safe to use in the presence of flammable gases.
- The ATD-Pressure Gas System is especially suited and approved for loosening ammoniated compound granulas fertilizer
- ATD-Pressure Gas Tubes offer a high rock-breaking capacity while reducing the amount of dust and loose fragments
How its been used
The ATD-Pressure Gas Tube is been used directly where the build-up occurs. As the entry to the obstruction, ATD-Base sockets are installed i.e. on the steel shell of the plant. Through the insertion hole, the ATD-Pressure Gas Tube will be inserted into the build-up with the Discharge Head in safe distance behind the refractory.
Locked with the ATD-Grip Case to the ATD-Basesocket, the DG-Tube is set to break up the deposits by the strong release of the CO2-charge.
Inside the ATD-Pressure Gas Tube, the pressure of the CO2 charge gets consequent increased by activating the ATD-Pressure Gas Generator. At a very pre-determined level, the Shear Disc blows and the released CO2-gas is directed by the Discharge Head exactly where required.
With application 150 – 600 litres CO2 volume with blasting pressures between 1500 and 2700 bar are set free, depending upon used ATD-Pressure Gas Tube. The response time amounts to approx. 40 ms.
There are 7 different type of Pressure Gas Tubes with different achievements and dimensions for the individual requirements available.
