Sinclasc - This problem is easilly cured by the installation of a suitable model of acoustic cleaner mounted on top of the silo. This produces sonic sound waves which make the particles both debond from each other and also from the surface to which they are attached - thus both eliminating and preventing material build up on the internal silo walls,

If you are unfarmilar with Primasonics Acoustic Cleaning Technologies (also know as Sonic Horns) please take a look at our web sites:

www.primasonics.com and www.sonic-horns.com

Both contain specific sections on silo/hopper applications and we have solves material build up and flow problems in silos in over 45 countries world wide.

We provide a variety of questionnaires and the following links lead you to a Silo Questionnaire in both on-line and PDF formats

Look forward to working with you on eliminating this problem!
