Introduction

General The Martin

generates intense sound waves and introduces vibration into vessels, transfer chutes, gas ducts, and feed pipes to maintain material or gas flow.

This manual provides instructions for installing sonic horns on steel structures only. For installations on other structures, call Martin Engineering or a representative

Sonic Horn is a pneumatic bulk material-moving system that

Specifications See Appendix A for technical data specific to individual models.

Required accessories

A sonic horn system requires additional accessories in order to be fully operational. These accessories, which consist of solenoid valves, filters, regulators, ball valves, air hoses, mounting plates, etc., can be purchased from Martin Engineering. These accessories are packaged in kits for convenience and are ordered separately from the sonic horn assembly. Contact Martin Engineering or a representative to determine which kits are required for your specific application.
