It's Indie Time Again!

As we approach Memorial weekend it is time for the Indie 500 again (Sunday, May 25th). This will be the 92nd occasion that the race has been run since it was first organised by Carl Fisher. This year’s race is shaping up to be one of the most keenly contested for some years with competitors clocking up a staggering 200 laps. One of the favourites this year is British driver Dan Wheldon who won the race back in 2005. Others such as Scott Dixon, Graham Rahal and Australian Will Power will be out to stop Dan from winning his second Indie 500. Have a look at this Indy racing web site for further information on the race.

The Indie circuit has been designed with correctly radiused bends so as to permit the cars to be driven safely at maximum performance. It stands to reason that right angled turns would be detrimental to the cars' performance and potential for success. This is exactly the same engineering design philosophy we adopted when designing our two curved Sonic Horns – the PAS-75C and the super powerful PAS-60C.

On our web site under my ‘Irishman’s Guide’, there is a section which explains why our corrected curved sonic horn design is the correct one and highlights why competitors’ 90 degree ‘curved’ horns will not provide the same optimum as our ‘Indie’ designed models.

You ‘Chan’ Solve Your Cement Silo Storage Problems!

In my time I have climbed up, down and around a great number of bulk cement silos, in all types of climatic conditions. Solving cement powder hang ups and ratholing within cement silos is something which Primasonics International specialise in. Cement silo tops can sometimes be dirty and even dangerous places to visit. However, such visits can be virtually eliminated by installing the correct model of Sonic Horn on top of the silo on an existing hatch. A few seconds ‘sounding’ at periodic intervals will prevent side wall material build up and create maximum mass flow. Take a look at the benefits of installing sonic horns, also known as acoustic cleaners. You'll read about some prime success stories.

Many of you will have heard of the all action martial arts screen hero – Jackie Chan. Well he had a terrifying experience on top of cement silos in one of his films "Tuxedo". A video clip from U Tube demonstrates what was involved in the silo fight sequence You will surely agree that you don’t want to fool around up there on top of a cement silo! Jackie Chan did all his own stunt work in this film - including sliding down 30 feet and ending up in a truck of cement powder. I am sure glad that Primasonics can solve your bulk cement storage and flow problems in a much easier manner!

Your first ‘safe step’ is simply to complete the online Silo Questionnaire.
There is a pdf version available if you prefer.

By the way, if your silos are really blocked with very hard, old cement powder, you can totally clean the silo without the need for manual entry simply by using our safe, remote, efficient Prima Whip™
