Air Cannons Solution for Silo Cleaning
The plastics manufacturer SUMIKA wanted to simplify and secure its silo cleaning system. During product changeover in the silo containing polymer granules, an operator climbs to the upper end of the silo using a crinoline ladder, in order to perform a blowing operation on the dust accumulations that have occurred inside the silo. This is a dangerous and dirty operation. The plant manager decided to eliminate this step by installing an automatic silo cleaning system.
