Sonic Sootblower

Model: USER SONIC
Product Name: Sonic Sootblower – High-Frequency Acoustic Cleaning System
Manufacturer: USER MÜHENDİSLİK

Application Area: Boilers, heat exchangers, flue gas ducts, furnace walls, and high-temperature areas with particulate accumulation

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SONIC-SB-170 model is a high-performance acoustic sootblower operating at 170 Hz and capable of generating up to 153 dB sound pressure. It provides contactless cleaning of ash and dust deposits in high-temperature environments using sound waves, eliminating the need for mechanical impact.

The system is designed with user-friendly automation infrastructure and operates with PLC-based control, integrated timer, SCADA compatibility, and an intuitive touch-screen interface. Cleaning cycles can be pre-programmed and easily integrated with external systems.

2. OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The system is supplied with compressed air via a 3/4” air connection at a pressure range of 0.4 – 0.6 MPa. The acoustic diaphragm, driven by this pressure, generates sinusoidal sound waves at 170 Hz.

These sound waves resonate with the natural frequency of the particulate layers, detaching the deposits from the surface.

The cleaning cycle is automatically managed via a PLC-based control unit. With full SCADA compatibility, the system allows remote monitoring and operation.

The touch-screen user interface enables easy configuration of parameters such as frequency, duration, and cleaning intervals.
