Abstract: During evacuation of the contents of a silo through a pneumatic product conveyor line, the internal pressure is controlled continuously. The internal pressure rises in the event of clogging. As soon as the internal pressure exceeds a critical value, an additional volume of air is admitted into the clogged area to break up the accumulation.
