Pneumat Systems Offers Safe Effective Bin & Silo Cleanout With Binwhip

MANKATO, Minn. – The Pneumat Systems BinWhip is a safe and effective bin and silo cleaning solution. The unique design of the BinWhip allows for the equipment to be operated from the top of the bin or silo, eliminating the hazards of confined space entry. Bin Whip is hydraulically powered and does not require air. Only food grade hydraulic oil is used. Unlike other compressed air systems that lack power and create dust problems, BinWhip is extremely powerful, lightweight, portable, and safe. In addition, because BinWhip is hydraulically powered, the whip rotation is reversible, something that is not possible with an air powered whip unit.

The BinWhip helps to reclaim valuable inventory safely and can get more product moving. BinWhip is effective on vessels of all sizes and restores storage to 100% capacity.

Pneumat Systems Offers Cardox Co₂ Blaster For Clearing Blockages In Preheater Towers, Silos & Bins

MANKATO, Minn. – The Pneumat Systems Cardox CO₂ Blaster produces a controlled release of liquid CO₂ at up to 34,000 psi with the power to break concrete, coal and other rock-hard materials, clearing blockages, plugs and chokes in preheater towers, silos, kilns and bins. Pneumat’s Cardox CO₂ Blasting System is simple, efficient and reliable, effectively making misfires a thing of the past. Because Cardox does not present a fire hazard, the system is widely used in locations where dust, chemicals or hazardous combustible materials are present.

During the process, high-pressure CO₂ is instantly released through ports of the discharge head, creating a powerful force that dislodges tons of blockage in less than a second. Once fired, the Cardox tube is rebuilt with a new Cardox safety heater, shear disc and sealing washer, and recharged with CO₂ for another use. Pneumat’s Rapid-Fill Pump and Auto-Fill Head have revolutionized how Cardox tubes are filled, making the process simple, fast and convenient.

In addition, Pneumat’s qualified, experienced technicians are available to assist with questions, as well as provide comprehensive on-site training.
