30 Ton Flour Tanker Trailer (Wheat Flour / Wheat Powder)

If you move flour every day, you already know the hard parts: keeping it clean, unloading fast, and avoiding dust mess. This 30 ton flour tanker trailer is built for bulk flour transport with a food-grade tank option and a pneumatic unloading system. Some customers report very low maintenance over multiple years—your actual results will depend on operating conditions and upkeep.

Flour Tank System & Pneumatic Unloading (How It Works)

A flour tanker trailer unloads using compressed air to fluidize flour inside the tank and push it through discharge lines into a silo. Under good conditions (dry flour, clean filters, short lines), unloading is usually 30–60 minutes for a full load.

• Best for: mill-to-bakery distribution, silo-to-silo delivery, bulk flour logistics

• Works with: standard receiving silos and filter systems

• Not ideal for: very damp flour or sites with long, restrictive hose runs (unless upgraded)

What’s included in a typical setup

• Air system for pneumatic discharge (blower/compressor option)

• 4–6″ discharge piping and valves

• Manholes and sealed fittings to help keep flour clean

• Dust control depends on the receiving silo filter and line layout

What slows unloading down

Long hose runs, high silo backpressure, damp flour, or undersized filters can reduce flow rate and increase unloading time.

Features of Flour Tanker Trailer

Food-Grade Tank Options

Choose aluminum or stainless steel for hygienic flour transport. Tight seals and cleanable surfaces help reduce contamination risk and moisture pickup.

Low-Residue Cone Design

Conical geometry supports smoother discharge and less leftover flour, which helps reduce waste and cleanup time.

Dust-Controlled Pneumatic Unloading

Pneumatic unloading keeps the process cleaner than open dumping and supports efficient delivery into silos when the site setup is correct.

Durable Components

Quality braking/valve components and solid welding help keep the trailer reliable over long-term use.

Why Panda Mech (What Buyers Usually Ask)

We build bulk dry trailers for real-world daily transport. For flour tanker projects, buyers usually care about three things: the right configuration for their route, consistent build quality, and support after delivery.

• Configuration help: pick volume, axles, and unloading layout for your route and silo setup.

• QC focus: weld consistency, air-tightness checks, and parts selection for stable unloading.

• After-sales: spare parts support and setup guidance to reduce downtime.

Sea Transportation Of Flour Tanker Trailer

We apply a protective wax layer to reduce salt corrosion risk during ocean shipping, and we wrap engines and sensitive components with rain cloth for extra protection.

FAQ

What is the capacity of a flour tanker trailer?

Most flour tankers are 30–60 m³ and often carry 20–40 tons (density-dependent). Final capacity depends on flour bulk density, axle ratings, and local road limits.

Why must flour transportation be food-grade?

Because flour is consumed by humans, it must be transported in food-grade equipment to prevent contamination, moisture uptake, and off-odors. Food-grade aluminum/stainless options and hygienic piping also help reduce residue.

How long does it take to unload flour from a flour tanker trailer?

Typically 30–60 minutes for a full load. Time depends on airflow, line length (usually 4–6″), silo backpressure, and flour dryness.

Choose aluminum for higher payload and fuel efficiency. Choose stainless steel when sanitation, frequent washdowns, or harsh environments matter more than weight.

Is a flour tanker trailer the same as a flour truck?

Not always. A flour tanker trailer is the tank unit pulled by a tractor, built for bulk pneumatic unloading into silos. “Flour truck” can also mean a rigid truck or even bagged-flour delivery, so specs and unloading methods may differ.
