How to Operate A Dry Bulk Tanker Trailer - Flour Product Delivery

[@donhoward6890]

I’ve always wonder how they get that product off Thanks for explaining that you made it very simple

[@YeahNah100]

I appreciate you. You covered some of the safety aspects of this kind of work. Very helpful and important. Guys from the military make some of the Best out here. ✌️

[@johnryder557]

Thanks for the info im looking to get into it.

[@MKultra209]

I do the same thing with Foodliner. Flour, salt, starch and sugar. I've been doing vacuum transloading with sugar lately..

I’ll have to dig out my goretex from my 2003 deployment. I’m starting at a dry bulk outfit next week in Colorado. Nice content brother

I always used top air when doing clean out on fine materials. Stuff that is very fine like flour, and hydrated lime (which is about the texture of baby powder), tends to just “fluff up” with the aerators on at the bottom of the hopper. But if you use that top air to build up your pressure to 15, and just crack the product valve, it’ll almost make like a tornado funnel inside that cone, that swishes around and around the sides while pushing down. Maybe just a tad of aerator to vibrate the cone wouldn’t hurt. And a tad of bottom air to keep the product moving. But if you are empty (except for clean out), just the top air by itself should be enough to push that little bit of product. This is NOT so for heavier material like cement, or coarse stuff like limestone rocks. Bottom air with very little vibration (aerator) will produce plenty of flow. That heavy or course stuff will plug quick if you get too much material for how fast bottom air can push it through.

[@scouttrucker]

Maybe it was just the places I delivered to but I rarely needed top air, until I started doing coarse salt. That needed a little extra oomf

[@warriorwilkins]

We use a powdered Friction Reducer (FR) on frac sites ... I'm the guy that runs the bulker and I've never touched the aerator 😅 I build top pressure to 8lbs, open the line valve, then slowly open the product valve until it's equal to the tank pressure; if I were to open the product valve all the way it would pack off my line *quickly* ...

[@xaviergibson4574]

Exaplained it perfectly bro. Thank you💯💯

[@markwolfe8753]

Great info , was thinking about doing tanker. How do you do washouts on those trailers and how often? Maybe a video?

[@scouttrucker]

We don’t do the washouts so I don’t know how it’s done but it’s every two weeks

[@AZVIDS]

Cool video, learned a lot from this👍

[@cdnbrit]

You will love this. Our new Management thinks we can Unload 30+ Tons of Flour without banging on the side of the tanker. They also think that this practice is causing the Tankers to Crack. They even want to put 10PSI Top air release valves on the tankers as they think 15 PSI is not Helping either. We are wondering when they are going to hire more drivers and are we going to get paid more? :)

[@scouttrucker]

🤣🤣 heard that before. I ended up leaving bulk tanker in SLC cuz it just got way too slow. Tried to stick with it for a while but I wasn’t making enough money. Company was great but the work wasn’t there.

[@Simple_Worship_Guitar]

I always used the rubber hammer on those tanks. I don’t believe the rubber ones hurt anything. I could see a metal hammer putting a hole in them, especially if pressurized lol. They are just thin aluminum (to save weight). And I used it when hooking hoses. But I absolutely could unload whatever without it. The tank will do the work. The only thing I used the hammer for while unloading, was just to check the level (how much is left).

[@Yourdadselllsavon]

Great job 😊

[@abuBanana17]

Do you know if soybeam meal can be transloaded with pneumatic trailers? or is it only with conveyors

[@cgolonka88]

You still with foodliner?

[@scouttrucker]

Had to leave them when I moved because they didn’t have a spot for me here.

[@michaelfogarty5894]

When finishing the load, you released the air via the blowoff valve. What would happen if you let all the air pressure off through the product line? would it damage the silo?

[@scouttrucker]

You can do that but it takes longer, and also you never know if the product silo has some built up pressure too. Using the blowdown is a fool proof way and you should never drive with it closed anyway. The tank can actually build pressure while you’re driving if you leave it closed

[@michaelfogarty5894]

@@scouttrucker Thanks for the reply, the sicario i am investigating is that the top of a silo popped off just as a tanker was finished emptying (about 3/4 filled the silo), the company that owns the silo say that the driver should have released the blow of valve when he finished loading and that is the reason the silo exploded, i find that hard to believe.

[@TheByngo]

@@michaelfogarty5894 It can happen sometimes when the hopper in the tank finishes emptying out. Once there is no product in the line flowing anymore, there is nothing stopping a burst of direct air pressure from being released into the silo. It's possible the driver could have been unloading at a PSI higher than the silo is rated for but who knows.

[@ThreePapaZeroXrayTwo]

I understand why you hit the tanker and individual tanks to get the product out. But why? you have "top air" pressure to push the product down? Does not work with salt or fine powder products?

[@barryklinedinst6233]

It hangs up on the side of the trailer

[@GardensLessLethal]

so dry bulk and pneumatic are the same type of trailer ?

[@scouttrucker]

There are a few different types of pneumatic trailers. This is just specifically a dry bulk one. Liquids are different trailers

[@redtoprich]

Great explanation

[@Mostafa-vs8bd]

Hi Can you open four valves of hoppers at the same time but quarter of full valve?

[@scouttrucker]

I’ve done it before but it didn’t really make a difference. It depends on what you’re delivering. With flour you can, with salt it would almost immediately plug up

[@Mostafa-vs8bd]

@@scouttruckerthank you. this way you dont worry about it any more until it is unloaded and last clean out. Try less than quarter next time.test it but if it is harmfull for yourself or truck ,dont try. Have fun and experiment with safty.

[@Mostafa-vs8bd]

For diffrent material how you clean inside of trailer before diffrent load And what is the regullation?

[@MKultra209]

You get the trailer washed and haul a different commodity.

[@mistermena8204]

i pump 15-17 all day. as long as the trailer aint screamming its full send! flour is easy money. i deliver daily in nyc.300 miles a day.one and one. that trailer is so old and shitty lol but those old ones blow off faster in my experience.

[@daves.5365]

Nice demonstration. You said you had a second delivery....... do you just reload the same tanker or do you drop it off and get a clean one? Also do you have to deal with tank washes much?

[@scouttrucker]

If it’s the same kind of flour or close enough we can reload the same trailer. I don’t have to wash it, this company has dedicated washers.

[@matthewhicks3550]

Thinking about getting into dry bulk 17 yrs of steel hauling is wearing on me lol

[@scouttrucker]

It’s good money as long as the company you’re with is busy. Out here in Utah it was way too slow

[@_TheWatchers]

How's ur terminal near phx AZ? Decent

[@scouttrucker]

Never been lol

[@blaze553]

I was deployed in '05!

[@eltigre1374]

Are you home daily doing this?

[@scouttrucker]

Yes but I also take overnight runs. Most bulk tanker I’ve seen is home daily

[@brucerodenberg]

Man I wouldn’t mind doing that

[@nelsonhernandez6764]

Good morning bro what is your company name I be driving chemical for 10 years I'll like to do something different

[@scouttrucker]

This is Food Express but they’re only out west. Foodliner is who I was with when I moved

[@nelsonhernandez6764]

Hi do your company is hiring in miami fl?????
