Flour trucks are specialized vehicles designed for the transportation and pneumatic unloading of dry mixtures. With the increasing transportation of military equipment, there is currently a shortage of qualified truck-trailer drivers. As a result, transporting flour in flour trucks mounted on truck chassis with a gross weight of 33-35 tons has become more relevant than using semi-trailers.
The body design of flour trucks is largely determined by the properties of flour. Flour is a free-flowing, highly hygroscopic, and caking-prone cargo with fine particle size depending on milling grade. It also has a low density, making it more economical to transport in large volumes of at least 24 cubic meters.
Key Features of Flour Transport Tanks:
- Tank sealing to prevent moisture absorption
- Complete emptying capability
- Corrosion-resistant reservoir
- Safe materials in contact with flour
Flour transport tanks are typically made of aluminum or stainless steel with a high chromium and nickel content. In most cases, the tank has a cylindrical or V-shaped cross-section. The tanks are usually divided into multiple compartments, allowing for the transportation of different flour grades and types. Each compartment has a separate top hatch for loading and a conical discharge chute at the bottom.
Older, low-cost flour truck models use gravity-based loading and unloading. While these models are cheaper, gravity unloading is too slow and does not allow for complete tank emptying.
For this reason, flour trucks with forced loading and unloading systems using compressors have become increasingly popular. Compressors may be powered by an electric motor or directly from the power take-off (PTO) shaft, depending on the model.
