    Concerning Food Grade Dry Bulk Pneumatic tankers -- What are the recommended length of unload lines? What about maximum?

    Thanks!

    May be that I worded my question incorrectly. I recall seeing someone mention awhile back about 100-200 foot unload distances, from truck to silo, etc. Is this do-able?

    Yes,but you will not be happy. Slows down unloading, plus you have to get 5 hoses cleaned.
