Truck unloading system HopperPopper

bulkpneumatic

The faster, safer way to unload difficult hung-up products from truck hoppers. When sticky bulk materials like DDGs and meals won't flow through the gate, rapidly discharge them with precise blasts of air. The Challenge In a perfect world, bulk materials would flow freely, and under the right conditions, many do. Unfortunately, certain products, like dried distillers’ grains (DDGs), corn gluten, soybean meal, wheat midds, and other fine materials can cake and hang up inside truck and railcar hoppers, creating a nightmare for loadout facilities. All manner of unsafe methods are employed to free this stuck material – air lances, mauls, vibrators, ramming and shaking, wacky homemade contraptions, and endless pounding with hammers. These activities threaten worker health and safety, damage equipment, and reduce productivity. A Safer Solution The HopperPopper by Pneumat Systems re-fluidizes caked and compacted product with high-volume blasts of pressurized air. The operator maneuvers a powerful hydraulically-driven probe inside the hopper trailer, releasing air blasts as needed to open a flow channel and clear away bridges and hang-ups. When product flows, profit grows. Power and Control The HopperPopper's user-friendly controls allow precise positioning of the blast probe exactly where it's needed to get product flowing. Engineered for Safety Eliminates strenuous manual labor and reduces worker exposure to fall hazards, musculoskeletal injuries, and other hazardous conditions. Saves Time & Money Reduces frustration and back-ups that ripple through the facility, keeping production lines supplied and truckers and workers happy.
