Dry Bulk Sugar Unloads

Looking for those with experiences hauling and unloading granulated sugar. Problems, solutions, best and worst times, words of advice. Whatever ya got.

 

Food Grade Pneumatic, yes. Specifically, I'm interested in knowledge pertaining to experiences with regular table sugar, and truck mounted blower.

 

Thanks, Powder Joints.. That's interesting about salt doing that too. I haven't heard that before. I have been told that there's a problem with overheating sugar, but most guys I have talked to that haul sugar only (or on regular basis), haven't mentioned anything about an intercooler. Is that what you run? The guys I've talked to that don't use any aerators or vibrators for sugar and just use top &/or line air, say they can unload roughly 53,000 lbs in about 2-1/2 hours. Do your experiences with an intercooler differ from that, by much? Thanks for your insight!

 

Just to confirm, because I've not heard that yet... You do use your aerators when unloading sugar??

 

And you don't run any kind of intercooler?

 

Certainly appreciate Powder Joints experiences. Are there any others that have experiences to share/add regarding granulated sugar? Looking specifically for food grade dry bulk pneumatics. Thanks!
