Residual material in Soda Ash bulkers
 

We are a soda ash manufacturing company and are experimenting with using bulkers for transportation. We have bought 49 Ton V-Type bulkers which are used for transporting cement.

Soda Ash being heavier than cement, we are facing the issue of 2-3 tons residual material on both ends of Bulker.

can we install extra pipes in the Bulker with 10mm holes in them. The pipes would run along the dish ends and side walls and would be around 3 inches away from aeration pads.

we operate the Bulker at 30psi

the extra pipes are supposed to dislodge material near dish ends which the aeration pads are unable to do
