One thing I would add. Always open your air to your discharge when you start. After your sure there's no blockage, then close and get your pressures right.
I’m 5 videos into how to unload from other youtubers. Best video yet! Thank you sir! Folks don’t forget the 2nd part. It’s even better. Great information
Thanks for a very informative Video. This guy obviously knows his stuff! Helps those like myself to understand the how & why of unloading tanks.Well put!
This guy explains things properly, so many other videos out there where guys make it sound wayyyyyy to complicated. It’s rather easy to offload sand with a pneumatic tank. Just a few basic steps to fallow.
Always start the blower with the belly line wide open. Less stress on the blower so cheaper maintenance over the long run and you can make sure that the last guy to unload into that tank/silo/etc didn't plug up the line. From there you should be getting things set the way your trailer and product like it.
Good video sir. I haul a pneumatic tank also, and absolutely love it. I like sand, because it tends to not plug up but I’m not always hauling it. I haul limestone, burnt lime, soda ash, clay, and Dolmite.
Very good video I had a 4 pot I used to drag around I filled sandmasters on the job site for Halliburton for several years down around Alice Texas that area also on occasion I also hauled resin saying have a great day brother be careful
Always do it how your trainer shows you. You'll notice that everyone uses different methods to achieve the same outcome and that's really the learning curve of the job is seeing what works for you and your product/trailer.
@@hectorgarcia-zv1wi it's because even between similar make trailers you can get variances on what pressures work better for what products. unloaded sand 3 times this past week, first two times were with the same trailer and it took 2.5 hours for about 25 tons. last load was a different trailer and it took 1.5 hours for the same amount.
Does the place your blowing off at have the dust collector boot? The places I go you can't go above 10 psi on the tank side. I haul a lot of plastic as well using the vacuum cyclone
I unload 5 sand trailers a day at 15 psi unlike powder you need high rpm 13-15 and you want your control arm and hopper valve completely open to get max blower power and product out. The more clicks on the control arm the more you strain the blower and make it inefficient
I've been pulling bulk tankers over 20 years. However we recently landed a sand account. It's taking me about 2 hours to unload a 3 pocket trailer. With only 3 clicks of bottom air does that place have suction? How long does it take you to unload a pocket. You video sounded like you said 12 minutes and it was going empty.
Thay didn't put air rators on trailers to look at there there to use,u never get plugged up that way on any type of sand just turn off top air and never touch that handle again,doing it this way I can unload 48 thousand in under 20 minutes
depending on the kind of sand u haul, theres varying techniques, if ur blowing a long distance with coarse sand u need lots of air speed,the fine stuff not so much, we run drum 900 cfm blowers which r pretty much the standard blower i see most on trucks
Hi there! I work in a silo where we receive the sand you guys bring. This pressure you are using is too high for low quality silos like the ones where are work, unfortunately. You shouldn’t use anything more than 8psi. Strong pressure can kill a person. And damage the silo for SURE, by making holes on it. Plus If the lid in the silo is being pressured too strong, it can blow up and the rest you can imagine…. I’ve seen it happening it almost killed a person… Also, we had to do too many emergency maintenances that ended up with huge lines of trucks to unload… and load…. not cool… I suggest don’t use more than 8psi for safety reasons and to avoid maintenance (delays). Be patient!
@@stevennorthcutt5164 All wrong according to who? Well the proppant used here, actually is not sand, it is bauxite, which is much stronger than sand. But many doesn't know it and just call it sand though.
Good video bud but way to many unnecessary steps buttttt......that bein said we all unload different just like two identical cans will unload different. Only thing that matters is gettin it in the silo, king, storm and not on the dang ground lol
You never showed the back, where the sand goes so I ONLY LEARNED about the pressure and line systems. As a Instruction video you never considered us beginers on the complete way to do things. Like most other videos, you take for granted that everyone has your knowledge. Probably accounts for your Low Subscribers. I see other commenters agree.
So question for the experienced sand haulers… My company uses a Mac trailer and the way I was taught to use a couple notches of top air and open product line whole way. Then dump back pod and then middle pod about 1/2 way and maintain tank and air pressure around 15-17 psi. Every trailer is different some slower and faster but takes me about an hour to blow off can. Anyone have a faster method using Mac trailers?? I know a lot of people use them see them all the time out there on the pad. Thanks

Very very true
Yes
best video I've seen...simple to the point and explained well.

Thanks alot for sharing your knowledge Sir! Your video helped me out tremendously!

Thanks for making this, just starting this job and this was very helpful

Best explanation so far. What about offloading clay? Is it the same?
Great intro. Starting soon!

Yup this is the 4th vid I seen everyone has a different wy

Thanks for the detailed explanation
Brings back them good ol days
You know your stuff, safety first!
I normal open the bottom main line in case any of the three belly valve leak threw. Then your all plugged up
Thank you so much for the information. Well put together.
Very good man, very educative !
This was very informative. Thank you 🤘

God bless you truckers!
What u set ur truck rpm at
Great video man, God bless.
Woah slow down cowboy, first I get out of my truck then what do I do?🤔
Great video very detailed. Thank you .
Kerosene Cooker hookup
Yeah line pressure what tht for I'm new too this and don't Kno anything about this does any have any advice
Good job, but for the new guys and girls, different products are unloaded differently
this is very scare, take cat to basement now
Whats the reason for not using your top air?
I've been pulling bulk tankers over 20 years. However we recently landed a sand account. It's taking me about 2 hours to unload a 3 pocket trailer. With only 3 clicks of bottom air does that place have suction? How long does it take you to unload a pocket. You video sounded like you said 12 minutes and it was going empty.
Cool video, you did a good job, thorough.
You did a great job
Best vid out. Helped a lot. God bless
Thay didn't put air rators on trailers to look at there there to use,u never get plugged up that way on any type of sand just turn off top air and never touch that handle again,doing it this way I can unload 48 thousand in under 20 minutes
Yeah right ah NO dot reg suggest 45 minutes.
At what psi do u unload at
depending on the kind of sand u haul, theres varying techniques, if ur blowing a long distance with coarse sand u need lots of air speed,the fine stuff not so much, we run drum 900 cfm blowers which r pretty much the standard blower i see most on trucks
You don't need to go above 12 unless you like having issues unloading.
False
How do the gauges not get destroyed internally from the product?
product does not touch gauges

You're clueless lol literally all wrong

Are you delivering to a train rail yard or concrete plant?
Good video bud but way to many unnecessary steps buttttt......that bein said we all unload different just like two identical cans will unload different. Only thing that matters is gettin it in the silo, king, storm and not on the dang ground lol
Thanks man I appreciate
You don't need airaitors on to unload sand at all
Thomas Covey do you do everything thing the same as he did just dont turn them on?
I always used top air and jetline
One time plugging that vibrator line and you'll leave that top air valve shut.
How you do weight scale ?
How long does it usually take to load and unload?
Brandon Henning depends on trailer,pump, product and how many hoses usually an hour to hour half
I’m looking for a pneumatic trailer to haul Silica Alumina Oxides. I’m also interested in hiring your services. Please contact me.
Thanks appreciate it
how much is a good pneumatic blower?
www.bulkequipment.com/ These are the people you would want to deal with when looking into pneumatic blowers.
Upwards of 12,000 for a new plus a PTO
glad it helped
Chase Butler take as where
thanks
I have never seen anyone not use top air
One of those could feed a monster sand blaster.

Did you ever figure out how to blow off fast?...takes me 25-30 minutes to blow off 👌
What’s your opinion on the super singles on that trailer compared to the standard doubles?
Standard doubles are better
I’m about to start a new job soon. I’m glad I saw this. Pretty cool. Thanks!
is this frac sand and if so how did you blow it so fast
kareem jamar dvfhrhr
thats cement. is a ready mix plant in background. notice the conveyer? powder cement can be offloaded faster than frac sand. in some cases.
Thanks man 👍
