Always do it how your trainer shows you. You'll notice that everyone uses different methods to achieve the same outcome and that's really the learning curve of the job is seeing what works for you and your product/trailer.

One thing I would add. Always open your air to your discharge when you start. After your sure there's no blockage, then close and get your pressures right.

This guy explains things properly, so many other videos out there where guys make it sound wayyyyyy to complicated. It’s rather easy to offload sand with a pneumatic tank. Just a few basic steps to fallow.

Thanks for a very informative Video. This guy obviously knows his stuff! Helps those like myself to understand the how & why of unloading tanks.Well put!

I’m 5 videos into how to unload from other youtubers. Best video yet! Thank you sir! Folks don’t forget the 2nd part. It’s even better. Great information

best video I've seen...simple to the point and explained well.

Thanks for making this, just starting this job and this was very helpful

Thanks alot for sharing your knowledge Sir! Your video helped me out tremendously!

Good video sir. I haul a pneumatic tank also, and absolutely love it. I like sand, because it tends to not plug up but I’m not always hauling it. I haul limestone, burnt lime, soda ash, clay, and Dolmite.

Great intro. Starting soon!

I’m about to start a new job soon. I’m glad I saw this. Pretty cool. Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed explanation

Very good video I had a 4 pot I used to drag around I filled sandmasters on the job site for Halliburton for several years down around Alice Texas that area also on occasion I also hauled resin saying have a great day brother be careful

Thank you so much for the information. Well put together.

Cool video, you did a good job, thorough.

Best explanation so far. What about offloading clay? Is it the same?

Always start the blower with the belly line wide open. Less stress on the blower so cheaper maintenance over the long run and you can make sure that the last guy to unload into that tank/silo/etc didn't plug up the line. From there you should be getting things set the way your trailer and product like it.

This was very informative. Thank you 🤘

Brings back them good ol days

Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Very good man, very educative !

You did a great job

You know your stuff, safety first!

Great video man, God bless.

God bless you truckers!

So question for the experienced sand haulers… My company uses a Mac trailer and the way I was taught to use a couple notches of top air and open product line whole way. Then dump back pod and then middle pod about 1/2 way and maintain tank and air pressure around 15-17 psi. Every trailer is different some slower and faster but takes me about an hour to blow off can. Anyone have a faster method using Mac trailers?? I know a lot of people use them see them all the time out there on the pad. Thanks

Best vid out. Helped a lot. God bless

Thanks man I appreciate

depending on the kind of sand u haul, theres varying techniques, if ur blowing a long distance with coarse sand u need lots of air speed,the fine stuff not so much, we run drum 900 cfm blowers which r pretty much the standard blower i see most on trucks

Woah slow down cowboy, first I get out of my truck then what do I do?🤔

Thanks man 👍

I normal open the bottom main line in case any of the three belly valve leak threw. Then your all plugged up

Does the place your blowing off at have the dust collector boot? The places I go you can't go above 10 psi on the tank side. I haul a lot of plastic as well using the vacuum cyclone

How you do weight scale ?

Are you delivering to a train rail yard or concrete plant?

I unload 5 sand trailers a day at 15 psi unlike powder you need high rpm 13-15 and you want your control arm and hopper valve completely open to get max blower power and product out. The more clicks on the control arm the more you strain the blower and make it inefficient

Whats the reason for not using your top air?

What’s your opinion on the super singles on that trailer compared to the standard doubles?

I've been pulling bulk tankers over 20 years. However we recently landed a sand account. It's taking me about 2 hours to unload a 3 pocket trailer. With only 3 clicks of bottom air does that place have suction? How long does it take you to unload a pocket. You video sounded like you said 12 minutes and it was going empty.

What u set ur truck rpm at

Thanks appreciate it

How do the gauges not get destroyed internally from the product?

glad it helped

You don't need to go above 12 unless you like having issues unloading.

Thay didn't put air rators on trailers to look at there there to use,u never get plugged up that way on any type of sand just turn off top air and never touch that handle again,doing it this way I can unload 48 thousand in under 20 minutes

is this frac sand and if so how did you blow it so fast

how much is a good pneumatic blower?

How long does it usually take to load and unload?

this is very scare, take cat to basement now

thanks

You don't need airaitors on to unload sand at all

Good video bud but way to many unnecessary steps buttttt......that bein said we all unload different just like two identical cans will unload different. Only thing that matters is gettin it in the silo, king, storm and not on the dang ground lol

One of those could feed a monster sand blaster.

One time plugging that vibrator line and you'll leave that top air valve shut.

I’m looking for a pneumatic trailer to haul Silica Alumina Oxides. I’m also interested in hiring your services. Please contact me.

Hi there! I work in a silo where we receive the sand you guys bring. This pressure you are using is too high for low quality silos like the ones where are work, unfortunately. You shouldn’t use anything more than 8psi. Strong pressure can kill a person. And damage the silo for SURE, by making holes on it. Plus If the lid in the silo is being pressured too strong, it can blow up and the rest you can imagine…. I’ve seen it happening it almost killed a person… Also, we had to do too many emergency maintenances that ended up with huge lines of trucks to unload… and load…. not cool… I suggest don’t use more than 8psi for safety reasons and to avoid maintenance (delays). Be patient!

I have never seen anyone not use top air

You never showed the back, where the sand goes so I ONLY LEARNED about the pressure and line systems. As a Instruction video you never considered us beginers on the complete way to do things. Like most other videos, you take for granted that everyone has your knowledge. Probably accounts for your Low Subscribers. I see other commenters agree.
