    How long is it taking you to unload? How much air pressure are you running?

    Hiw long is the discharge hose, plant piping, and vertical lift before the sugar gets to the silo?

    Is there any product buildup in any of the lines?
    Is the bag-house oprating like it should?

    Is your trailer holding air? Do any of the valves or domes leak?

    Sometimes unloading is going to take awhile depending in the above-mentioned items.
