WHAT IS A BINWHIP?
The Pneumat BinWhip is an ALL HYDRAULIC powered bin cleaning system.
Working from an opening in the top of the vessel, your Series 9000/9250/9500
BinWhip will effectively clear obstructions and sweep down many different
sizes and styles of bulk storage containers - all with no need for confined
space entry.
Once set up the BinWhip acts like a large scale “weed trimmer” that can be
maneuvered around inside the bin to knock down material that is hung-up.
The BinWhip does not simply go down the middle with big sweeps that reach
out to the walls on all sides (long whips like this become tangled). The “whips”
stick out from the cutting head approximately 2’, so about a 4’ cylinder is taken
out each time the BinWhip is run up and down inside the bin. Movement of
the boom up - down, and side - side, allows you to position the cutting head at
the hang-up, while the hose reel moves the head up and down.

3. SAFETY
The BinWhip was designed to make a dangerous job safer, but that doesn’t
mean you don’t have to pay attention to basic safety procedures. Safety starts
with paying the proper attention to the task at hand and what is going on
around you. Take time to observe your environment BEFORE you start.
1. First and foremost follow all safety procedures for your facility.
2. When you see this safety-alert symbol be aware to the potential of personal injury
3. Read this manual to learn how to safely operate this equipment and its controls.
No one should operate without proper instruction.
7. Release all pressure in hydraulic lines and all tension in cables or hose before
servicing or when leaving the equipment for an extended period of time.
4. SET-UP PROCEDURES
SET-UP REQUIREMENTS
All operation of the BinWhip is done from the bin deck. This requires that there
is enough relatively flat area for the equipment and an operator. The BinWhip
breaks down into components for ease of transporting to the top of the bin.
An access hole of at least 14x14 inches will be needed to get the boom and
whiphead into bin. The access may be round, square or rectangular. If the
access hole is too large for the BinWhip to straddle the opening, some type of
beam (i.e., channel I-beam) can be affixed to the bin top such that the BinWhip
can be attached. The access hole should not be at an angle of more than 15°
from flat.
CAUTION! Fig. 1
All electrical connections should be made by a facility electrician or other au-
thorized personnel only.

There is a proper direction the motor must spin in order to pump correctly. To
determine the proper rotation, remove the screw holding the plastic orange
cover on the pump mount flange and remove it so you can see the rotation of
the coupling inside. (See Fig. 3). Locate the arrow on the pump label that signi-
fies proper direction and make sure the coupling is turning in that direction.
Reverse the rotation of the motor if not correct. NOTE: Refer to electrician for
proper method of reversing motor rotation.
When putting a disconnect in the power supply line make sure it complies with
Fig. 3 your safety guidelines.
Slide the entire assembly towards the hole and slowly lower it in, holding se-
Fig. 5 curely onto the rails at the top of the bin mount (See Fig. 7).
Fig. 6
Page 5
BinWhip Technical Manual Series 9500/9250/9000
When the bin mount is aligned, take the hold down assembly and attach the
safety chain to the bin mount frame. Lower the hold down into the opening and
align the tie down bolts with the two holes in the bottom of the bin mount (See
Fig. 8). Slide the tie down bolts through the holes and pull them upward until
the cross member hits the bottom of the bin deck. NOTE: Depending on the
bin top thickness you may have to shorten or lengthen the threaded rods.
Secure the tie-downs with the 3/4” nuts and washers provided. The cross- Fig. 7 Fig. 8
member should “clamp” on both sides to the bin top as you tighten the nuts.
Do not over-tighten the nuts. They should be snug so the hold-down cross
member will not move out of place (See Fig. 9).

PRESSURE
Hook-up the BOOM UP/DOWN Control circuit (this block is labeled “BOOM
UP/DOWN”). This circuit controls the up/down movement of the hydraulic
cylinder on the bin mount. Take the 10 ft hydraulic hose with the “red” color
coding at the ends and attach the “red” Male Quick Disconnect (QD) to the
corresponding “red” marked Female QD on the Hydraulic Manifold Assy. Then
connect the remaining Male QD to the Female QD directly below the “red”
Female QD. Take the other end of the “red” marked hose, this end has Female
QD’s, and attach them to the corresponding Male QD’s on the rear of the Bin
Mount. Match up the color codes like in the previous step. These hoses can
be hooked up in the opposite orientation which will reverse the cylinder motion,
Fig. 11
this is an operator preference.

5. OPERATION – CONTROLS
Fig. 15 LET’S REVIEW THE CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
(FIG. 17)
The BinWhip hydraulic controls are combined into one modular control Mani-
fold with (3) individual valve blocks, each controls a function on the BinWhip.
One block controls the BOOM UP/DOWN function, another controls the HOSE
REEL ROTATION, and the third controls the WHIPHEAD ROTATION SPEED.
Each of these blocks is labeled with it’s function on the front surface
Fig. 16 CAUTION! - A full understanding of these controls is necessary before you
operate the BinWhip.
Page 7
BinWhip Technical Manual Series 9500/9250/9000
With the control valve pushed toward the handle, the rate at which the hose/
whiphead comes up can be varied by turning the flow control knob located
on the front of the “HOSE UP/DOWN” block. Turning the knob all the way in
(clockwise) will stop the hose reel rotation and turning it out (counter-clock-
wise) will speed up the reel rotation. When pulling the valve away from the
handle the hose reel will rotate at max speed. This allows the whiphead to be
raised at a controlled speed and lowered quickly to prepare for the next clean-
ing pass. Fig. 19

Series 9500/9250/9000 BinWhip Technical Manual
whiphead cover to the whiphead. Loosen the bolts enough to allow the rope
to pass through the hole. With the desired amount of whip extending the bolts
can be tightened. Make sure all whips are installed in the same direction.
Knuckle and Star Knuckle Whips (See Fig. 24) are used for most cleaning
and cutting jobs. They are a plastic coated rope with UHMW “knuckles” that dig
out the hung-up material without damaging bin walls. The Star Knuckle Whips
have an additional free-floating star shaped knuckle for faster material removal.
Sweep Whips (See Fig. 24) are also a plastic coated rope that sweeps mate-
rial from walls and corners, but do not have the knuckles for material removal.
They attach the same as knuckle and star knuckle whips.
Bronze Chain Whips (See Fig. 25) are used for very hard hung-up material
that would take too long for knuckle whips to remove. They are attached by
threading a 2-1/2” flat head cap screw into bottom of the whip head, through Fig. 23
the last link on chain and securing with lock nuts.
Steel Chain Whips are used for NON-EXPLOSIVE, very hard hung-up mate-
rial, that would take too long for knuckle whips to remove. They are attached
by threading a 2-1/2” flat head cap screw into bottom of the whip head, through
the last link on chain and securing with lock nuts.
Lower the Whiphead through the Bin Opening (See Fig. 27)
Fig. 25
To allow for enough room to lower the whiphead through the bin opening,
turn the post and boom all the way to one side by cranking the ratchet assy.
Moving to the left side will move the hydraulic lines on the cylinder to a more
conveinent position.
Now lower the whip head between the legs of the bin mount down into the
opening of the bin SLOWLY by hand until all the slack in the hose is taken up
(See Fig. 27). Run the whiphead down about 5 feet below the pulley on the
end of the boom with the hose reel control.

6. CLEANING
ORGANIZE YOUR WORKSPACE
Organize your workspace so can that you can easily reach and operate the Fig. 28
controls while you are looking down into the bin.
GET A GOOD LOOK INSIDE (IT MIGHT BE YOUR LAST FOR AWHILE)
Take a good look into the bin and take a mental picture of what the bin looks
like. Think about where you want to start and how you are going to start to at-
tack the build-up. REMEMBER - there must be some type of flow channel, to
the bin discharge open so that the material you knock loose with the BinWhip
has a place to go - outside of the bin hopefully.
BASIC TECHNIQUES
Make sure the flow channel is open all the way to the discharge at the bottom
and large enough so chunks won’t plug it. If there is no flow channel one will
need to be opened. Depending on your bin, often the best way to create a flow
channel for product is to use the Pneumat BinDrill. A place for loose material to
flow should be at least 12” or more in diameter.
Fig. 29
1. Work 10-15 ft from the top of the material (See Fig. 29)
2. Slowly work the same groove from bottom to top working towards the wall
3. Keep side pressure on the hose and whiphead (See Fig. 30)
4. After reaching the wall rotate the boom to start cutting another groove
6. Keep taking out pie section like portions until all material is cleared
Fig. 30
Page 10
Series 9500/9250/9000 BinWhip Technical Manual
Drain bin, at-least until the whiphead is freed from the material
SHUTTING DOWN
1. With the whip head off, raise it to slightly below the end of the boom (leaving 2-3 feet
of hose between the boom pulley and the top of the whip).
3
2. SLOWLY drop the boom down making sure the hydraulic cylinder fully extends and the
boom is hanging straight down.
3. Swing the hose guide out of the way and remove the hose from behind the pulley.
4. Turn the boom and cylinder as far out of the way as possible.
Fig. 31 5. Carefully raise the whiphead to within 2-3 feet of the bin opening. NOTE: Make sure
the whiphead does not catch on the end of the boom during ascension. Pull the whip-
head out of the bin with the hose by hand and unhook it.
6. Run the extra hose onto the Hose Reel until the cone is resting against the reel.
8. Move each of the valves both directions from the center position and then back to
release any hydraulic pressure that may have been trapped.
9. Unhook all hydraulic lines and plug the ends together to keep contaminates out during
storage.
10. Return the boom and cylinder to the center rotation position. This will relieve any
torque on the boom connecting pin when the unit is dismantled.
12. Loosen the nuts on the hold down and remove the clamp.
13. Gently tilt the unit out of the hole (laying the bin mount/post assembly on its front-cylin-
der side down). NOTE: The boom will still be hanging in the bin at this point.
14. Holding securely onto the handle of the boom, remove the cross pin disengage the
boom from the post.
15. Lift the boom out of the bin. Hold onto the handle until you can get a firm grip on the
cable sling and disconnect the main cable.
16. Clean all pieces as necessary and return to their proper location for storage.

The BinWhip does not require much maintenance but a few things need to be
done to ensure long life and performance of your bin cleaning system.
7. MAINTENANCE
HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT (See Fig. 32 & 33)
The fluid level in the reservoir should be checked daily and filled if neces-
sary. To check the level- look at the sight gauge on the front of the reservior.
The oil should be somewhere between visible at the bottom, to the middle of
the gauge when the oil is cold (when oil is warm the level should be from the
middle to the top of the gauge. If low, fill to the correct level and replace the oil
fill plug. NOTE: The oil supplied with the unit is food grade hydraulic oil and
can be purchased from Pneumat Systems. Fig. 32
The oil filter on the unit should be replaced every 6 months during heavy use
or yearly regardless of the amount of use. This protects against hydraulic com-
ponent damage due to dirt and condensation contaminating the oil. Clean the OIL FILL PLUG
quick connectors before and after each use to reduce oil contamination. OIL FILL PORT
WHIPHEAD
The hydraulic whiphead needs very little maintenance. The hydraulic couplers
should be wiped cleaned before, and after each use. After each use the whip- Fig. 34
head body should be removed and any material inside should be cleaned out.
Also make sure the top cover is on the whip head when not in use.
