Increase facility throughput and protect workers from harm when receiving challenging products by grain truck.
Unloading Railcars?
Pneumat has an exciting new invention designed specifically for rail loadout – the HopperBot Intelligent Railcar Unloader.
The Challenge
In a perfect world, bulk materials would flow freely, and under the right conditions, many do. Unfortunately, certain products, like dried distillers’ grains (DDGs), corn gluten, soybean meal, wheat midds, and other fine materials can cake and hang up inside truck and railcar hoppers, creating a nightmare for loadout facilities.
All manner of unsafe methods are employed to free this stuck material – air lances, mauls, vibrators, ramming and shaking, wacky homemade contraptions, and endless pounding with hammers. These activities threaten worker health and safety, damage equipment, and reduce productivity.

A Safer Solution
The HopperPopper by Pneumat Systems re-fluidizes caked and compacted product with high-volume blasts of pressurized air. The operator maneuvers a powerful hydraulically-driven probe inside the hopper trailer, releasing air blasts as needed to open a flow channel and clear away bridges and hang-ups.
Protect Your Team
Convenient remote controls allow operators to efficiently empty truck hoppers from a safe location while minimizing exposure to hazardous activities.
Post or Bridge Mounting Options
Proven Effective
The HopperPopper has helped companies of all types create safer work environments, prevent equipment damage, and increase productivity.

When product flows, profit grows.
Power and Control
The HopperPopper's user-friendly controls allow precise positioning of the blast probe exactly where it's needed to get product flowing.
Engineered for Safety
Eliminates strenuous manual labor and reduces worker exposure to fall hazards, musculoskeletal injuries, and other hazardous conditions.
Saves Time & Money
Reduces frustration and back-ups that ripple through the facility, keeping production lines supplied and truckers and workers happy.
Features and Benefits
Truckers hauling DDGs and meals in the Midwest have been known to drive miles out of their way to unload at facilities equipped with the HopperPopper because of the speed, safety, and ease with which they are able to dump their load and get back on the road.
