Pneumatic tank drying

First some tank wash have heated dry after you wash always get done if they have it. Then you need pressure up and blow all valves lines clean in a safe place so no one get blasted by the pressure. To dry the tank run your blower full speed for about 40 minutes at 10 psi with each valve open just enough to keep you pressure up this makes hot air to dry your tank this is all tank psi no line psi needed. There is no short cuts it take time just make sure it dry.

 

You get paid while it's drying?

 

It's winter. It typically took me an hour and a half to dry out in winter. Summertime as little as 35 minutes. I usually started with my top air valve open and hopper valves cracked open to get the worst of it out, then switched to the aerators, which gives you the heat. I only opened one hopper at a time, so you get max airflow through a single hopper at a time, which seemed to speed up the process.

 

Yeah, that'll work too. I wouldn't close the top air much more than half though. Going too far will cause too much heat, and cause the melt out plug on your blower to melt.
