Loading and unloading pneumatic tanks (videos)

that happens, but if those filters/bags were not changed, it can happen even if the silo isn't full.. I see this all the time...

 

Thanks --I needed to see that. I am brand new to this ...I was wondering If ya could show me from step one the procedures on loading and unloading..which vales are on off ect. I'll be haulind sand for gas co.
HELP
Jay thank you if ya could

 

thanks...yeah , sand clogs the lines more to i have noticed. I'm trying to learn the steps operating the tank think you could draw me a picture...lol....i'm serious.

 

I did that at Proctor & Gamble in Sacramento. A dust cloud 200 ft in the air. The lid was on hinges. The alarm on the silo wasn't working.

 

Aw , don't worry about it . Even nice guys like Kyle Petty drop the F bomb once in a while .

 

Wait a minute, do I know you? Ash Grove, Cemex, Big Brown?

Takes me about 45 min but our dust collector is pretty well shot. Not a lot of vacuum at the up pipe.

 

My sis is heading to Wyoming to haul frac sand. She's been OTR for many years. What does she need to know about the driving part?? Anything different about sand in a pneumatic trailer? Also, she's little. Think she can handle the physical part?

 

Small should not be to big of a problem. I had an older owner operator doing dry bulk w/ one arm crippled from childhood [polio] He had to bear hug the hose up onto the silo fitting and then use his 'bad' hand to close the ears. That was a 4" stainless steel hose for plastics. Sand should use a rubbber hose [like cement] so she should be OK without having to give every hose a bear hug. The man I'm talking about had a 'hose coat' under the sleeper just to wear when hooking up.
