Airbrator/Fluidizer Information

Airbrator/Fluidizer Information

(OP)
I am trying to find out some information on how to set up the pneumatic system to an Airbrator or Fluidizer.  I know there is different systems that use solenoids to pulse the flow but I am unable to find out what kind of compressor or control system is required for this.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

RE: Airbrator/Fluidizer Information

Here are companies who's products we use to vibrate and activate bins.  
The bin activators have a control panel that turns on an electric rotary vibrator and times the air pulses to the activator.  
The air cannons are internally timed with an overriding on/off switch.
The electric vibrators are control with an on/off switch.  The amplitude of the vibrator is controlled by adjusting the eccentric.  
The KISS PRINCIPLE should be followed for vibrator controls.   Even though we could control a lot of vibrators from the control rooms there are quite a few we require the operator to start/stop the vibrator in the field.
