Knocker to go enhances flow reliability for containers and silos

singold gerätetechnik has introduced the Knocker to go, a mobile pneumatic knocker designed specifically to improve material flow in containers, silos and other vessels used across the bulk handling and processing industries.
The innovation centres on a new magnetic holder that allows the company’s long‑established pneumatic knockers to be deployed exactly where flow problems occur — without permanent installation.
The magnetic holder transforms the knocker into a fully portable unit that can be positioned on interchangeable containers, silo cones, hoppers and bins with minimal effort.
This flexibility is particularly valuable for processors handling powders, granulates, flakes and pellets, where bridging, ratholing and residue build‑up frequently disrupt operations.
The holder comprises a lightweight aluminium plate fitted with two flexible suction cups containing integrated neodymium magnets.
These adapt to curved or uneven surfaces, ensuring secure attachment even on rough or contaminated container walls.
Spring‑mounted magnets maintain holding force under high‑impact loads, while two mounting handles allow operators to release the unit easily and adjust spring preload to suit different vessel geometries.
Because the joint bearings use self‑lubricating dry sliding layers, the system is lubricant‑free, maintenance‑free and wear‑free — an advantage for hygiene‑critical or dusty environments. Its low weight and side carrying handles make the Knocker to go easy to transport between locations, supporting use on containers where welded plates or fixed brackets are impractical.
The magnetic holder is compatible with singold’s K40, K63 and K80 pneumatic knockers, enabling processors to apply targeted, high‑energy impacts wherever material flow needs restoring
