Abstract: A device to fragment solidified bulk material is disclosed. The device comprises a hydraulic motor, a stationary assembly and rotating assemblies, wherein the rotating assemblies includes, a rotational upper whip mount assembly adapted to rotate in a direction, a rotational middle assembly perimeter adapted to rotate in the same direction as the rotational upper whip mount assembly, and a rotational lower whip mount assembly adapted to rotate in a direction opposite the rotational direction of the upper whip mount and middle perimeter assemblies, and a plurality of flails configured to fracture hardened, solidified bulk material while balancing the torque forces to more accurately keep the dual whip-head head in a desired location when operationally engaged with the bulk material.

Abstract: A system and method to facilitate the unloading of bulk materials from containment vessels and transport vehicles, including non-flowing DDGs in such vehicles, is disclosed. The system includes a compressed air system that further includes a motor, an air compressor, and an air reservoir; a hydraulic fluid system that further includes a motor, a hydraulic fluid reservoir, and a pump; a wireless control system; a slew drive; a hydraulically-powered, articulating boom arm that also includes hydraulic cylinders that remain in a plane parallel to the boom arm throughout operation of the system; and a blaster assembly with first and second ends that includes an air reservoir proximate the first end, a mount assembly, a discharge tube assembly, and a discharge tip assembly that includes a shooting valve proximate the second end.
