Powdery materials and products stored in silos or hoppers often tend to clog. This leads to the formation of crowns and chimneys, with the following effects: • reduced storage capacity; • major flow irregularities at the outlet of the hopper, even resulting in a complete halt of the flow. Setting the walls of silos or hoppers at a considerable slope—which has the disadvantage of reducing storage capacity—does not resolve the problem of clogging, since it happens even with vertical walls. De-clogging devices pay for themselves very quickly, since they guarantee: - use of 100% of storage capacity - no more production interruptions. SINEX recommends a technique of de-clogging by external vibration, using rotary, electromagnetic or pneumatic vibrators, which can de-clog low- to medium-capacity silos and hoppers; this vibration should cause a slight deformation of the walls to which the vibrators are attached.
