Eliminating Ratholing - The Acoustic Way!
My company can offer you an inexpensive, totally proven and effective way to prevent material from building up on the side walls of your silos, which then leads to ratholing. Primasonics Acoustic Cleaners have been employed in over 35 countries worldwide within a wide range of silos and hoppers to both prevent ratholing and also eliminate material building up and bridging over the outlet.
The correct model of Primasonics Acoustic Cleaner installed on top of the silo and 'sounded' periodically for a few seconds will totally prevent material building up on the side walls. Have a look on our web site at www.primasonics.com and you will see some excellent examples and testimonials.
Whats more you can download both a silo questionaire and 30-day free trial form.
Look forward to helping you eliminate your silo material build up problems.

Silo Hang Up
the effect that your ratholed material will have is simply a total of
one gravity or g force weight of the material total falling down to the bottom of the silo, I would definitely say that if you really concerned and intend to keep this silo, you should install very small apron feeder under it and your hang up problems will probably disappear as the movement of the apron feeder will create enough vibration to keep the material flowing unless it is very wet material. you also do not state as to the loading area in this silo- if it is not centered the material will find its natural angle of repose and every time you turn of the bin vibrator it will pack itself even tighter untill gravity assumes its duties and it falls in toatal to the bottom of the silo. ■
Overload During Ratholing Situation
Gentlemen,
I have a problem to solve and I would like to submit it to you.
I have got a 16 m high, 6 m diameter silo, inside of it there is a powder with density of 0.86 kg/dm3. Under the silo there is a bin activator of 2.35 m diameter.
If I consider that into the silo a ratholing situation can happen, my problem is to calculate the load on the bin activator when, suddenly, the material stoked on the wall fell down.
Are there some articles/books in which I can find some formulas that take into consideration the weight and also the overload due to fall down of the powder?
If someone knows this issue, please give me some information about it
Thank you.
Best Regards
