    Yep. Unloads about the same also. Might take a little less air.
    I unloaded everything by keeping an eye on my hose and the silo filters. When your hose is jumping a little , you are doing good as long as product is not blowing out the bags in silo.
    If hose is not ju.ping and is hard , you got too much product flowing. Always unload at the least rpm you can. Better for your truck.

    Loading is the same, when unloading I air it up the same but as I unload I start decreasing the line air and start using all air into the aerator's, almost no line air. Never have a problem with this, I load Ash at Page and Trona works fine on both.

    When I unload flyash I run the line air about half and the aerators full, once the flow is running I shut off the line air and open the top air full. of course it all depends on the product, you have to gauge the adjustments as you go. The product dictates everything, sometimes it matbe a bit heavier and require line air other times not.
