Silo Cleaning - Cement Bin Cleaning
Silo & Bin Blockages Removed
Fast, Safe and Efficiently
The
Primasonics® Prima Whip™ offers a safe and fast
solution to maintaining clean and continuous operating conditions in silos,
bins and hoppers in the bulk solids handling and processing systems. With
this system there is no need for operators to enter the potentially dangerous
confines of bulk storage systems thus eliminating accidents.
The Prima Whip™ is designed for use remotely through a manhole opening
at the top. Powered by compressed air, the
Primasonics® Prima Whip™ motor
can be manouvered by one operator who manipulates the cleaning head by simple
controls.
A variety of whips and cutting edges can be fitted to the revolving cleaning head to remove even the toughest materials without damage to the silo, bin or hopper walls.

The equipment is mobile and can be easily positioned at a cleaning location. The light alloy boom is lowered into position, the standard unit has a reach of 6.4 m/21 feet from the entrance with a rotation of 360º, the 'Mini' system can reach 2.4 m/8 feet and rotate through 180º. The motor drive is attached to a flexible hose that can extend down to 45 m/150 feet (or longer if required).

This makes the Prima Whip™ system suitable for the majority of bulk storage and handling applications. Custom designed systems are also available.
With totally blocked silos, the
Primasonics® Prima Lance™ Drill can
also be used in conjunction with the Prima Whip™. Used to 'drill' through
from underneath a completely plugged silo or bin, it can make a way for the removal
of any remaining materials safely from the top using the
Prima Whip™.
The drill is inserted through an orifice in the base of the blocked container
and is remotely operated using compressed air.
Both systems are featured in a technical brochure. A DVD showing them in use is available on request.
