New development at singold gerätetechnik: the `Knocker to go`

singold gerätetechnik gmbh continues its history of masterful engineering: with the newly developed magnetic holder, its pneumatically operated knockers—tried and tested for decades—can be turned into a Knocker to go in no time at all.

Versatility and Ease of Use

Unmatched Mobility for Interchangeable Containers. The magnetic holder is easy to use, wear-free, comparatively lightweight, and makes the pneumatic knocker mobile. The Knocker to go is ideal for interchangeable containers, as it can be attached to silos and containers exactly where needed with minimal effort and complete flexibility.

Technical Design and Adaptability

Innovative Magnetic Tech for Curved and Rough Surfaces. This revolutionary new development from the specialist in magnetic holding force is based on an aluminium plate that combines low weight with robustness. Mounted on this plate via ball joints are two suction cups made of flexible plastic with integrated neodymium magnets. The magnet–suction cup combination flexibly adapts to the shape of the container and compensates for inclines and curvatures. As a result, the Knocker to go is also perfectly suited to rough and contaminated surfaces.

Durability and High-Impact Stability

Secure Grip and Easy Handling Under High Pressure. Thanks to their spring suspension, the magnets do not detach despite the high impact force of the pneumatic knocker. To allow the strong holding force to be released without great effort, the mobile knocker is equipped with two mounting handles, which also enable adjustment of the preload of the retaining springs.

Maintenance and Portability

Maintenance-Free Engineering Built for Transport. The magnetic holder for the Knocker to go is lubricant-free, maintenance-free and wear-free, as the joint bearings feature self-lubricating dry sliding layers. Because particular emphasis was placed on low weight during development and the holder is fitted with two side carrying handles, it is especially easy to transport. This allows it to be used as required on interchangeable containers and at changing locations, including containers where permanent installation is not an option.
The magnetic holder is suitable for the pneumatic knockers K40, K63 and K80.

Future Outlook

The Next Frontier: Electric Innovation in 2026. The history of innovation at singold gerätetechnik gmbh will soon gain another chapter: preparations are under way for a purely electric knocker, which is expected to reach market readiness in 2026.

Thor’s hammer among pneumatic knockers
The greatest advantages of pneumatic knockers: particularly powerful, efficient and comparatively light Impact frequency knockers, interval knockers, shakers and vibrators: they are all used to make bulk materials flow better. Knocking on demand - this is best done with a pneumatic knocker. And no other knocker can produce such a high impact effect with the same size as the pneumatic singold knocker. What are the greatest advantages of pneumatic knockers? Have you ever walked through your plant and seen impact marks on cyclones, bins or silos? In all those cases where the flow of material was restarted with a hammer blow, a pneumatic knocker could have been used more efficiently and with less impact on the material. Unlike shakers, vibrators and even interval knockers, a pneumatic magnetic system knocker can knock on demand - whenever it is needed. This provides the following advantages: * For some products, constant knocking tends to condense the material flow rather than promote it. A single, targeted blow is much more effective here than a vibrator. * Well-directed

Highly efficient from a distance: the Distance-Knocker QJ from singold
When it is not possible to attach a pneumatic knocker directly to a silo, the pneumatic distance knocker from singold gerätetechnik gmbh offers a solution. It is not always possible to attach a pneumatic knocker directly to a silo, for instance, if the container becomes hot or if it moves. In such cases, the pneumatic distance knocker from singold gerätetechnik gmbh offers a solution. Company founder Erwin Lüer developed it using state-of-the-art engineering. How the Distance-Knocker QJ works The basic concept is the same as that of the traditional pneumatic knocker: spontaneously released compressed air pressure accelerates the impact piston, which is designed as a permanent magnet, after it is released. In contrast to the conventional knocker, the distance knocker’s piston rod strikes a moving impulse part, which is strongly accelerated according to the impulse-momentum theorem and ultimately transfers the energy to the container to be knocked off. This process takes place at such a high speed that the human eye can hardly perceive it. Thanks to the additional impulse part, the Distance-Knocker QJ can be mounted

Promoting the flow in silos and cleaning the silo walls
Flow in a silo can be promoted with a hammer. But the use of pneumatic knockers is a much better way. This gives maximum impact, without damage. APPLICATION The Pneumatic Knocker is used for bulk goods with flow problems, such as bridging, funnel flow and stagnant zones, when high speed shakers and vibrators with soft sine-shaped oscillations are no longer effective. Better than a hammer The effect of the knocker is comparable to the infamous "silo hammer", but without the damage a hammer can do. Dents by hammers wil complicate the material flow even more. And cracks and ruptures can also occur. The effectiveness of the knocker is evaluated according to the following rule: If the product can be knocked off or made to flow with a hand hammer, the Pneumatic Knocker is also effective. Mounting of the knocker The knocker is normally controlled by an electrical control system with a solenoid valve. Within the area where the knocking takes place there should be enough space for the impact to expand in all directions. Reinforcements of the silo walls and additional ribs should be avoided, as this increases

K160: The Most Powerful Pneumatic Knocker in the World
singold gerätetechnik gmbh produces and sells the world’s most powerful pneumatic knocker. While competitor models can at best cover a wall thickness of up to 12 mm, the K160 can knock walls with a thickness of up to 25 mm. This makes it suitable for massive, heavy-duty containers. For example, it is used in the mining industry for discharge chutes, in the building materials industry for gravel bunker outlets, in the chemical industry for mixing plants, in the lime industry for silos with a capacity of over 200 tonnes and in the fertiliser industry. Supernatural Strength The powerful model has an impact energy of 423 newton metres. This corresponds to the energy generated when a weight of 42.3 kg is dropped from a height of 1 metre. This high impact energy cannot be achieved with human forces, even if a 20 kg sledgehammer were used. The reason? The acceleration and, consequently, the final velocity of the impact weight in the knocker is far higher than the final velocity that a human being can generate. When the piston, which is designed as a magnet, is

Eliminating flow problems with bulk solids: it can be that simple
Pneumatic Knockers pose a simple but effective approach, just like a hand hammer can get the bulk material flowing again, the Pneumatic Knocker will do the same. Shakers, vibrators, knockers – there are many solutions for free material flow in the bulk goods industry. Yet, finding the right one can sometimes feel more complicated than necessary. singold gerätetechnik gmbh, manufacturer of the world’s first and, therefore, original pneumatic knocker, has a simple but all the more effective approach: whenever a hand hammer can get the bulk material flowing again, the pneumatic knocker will do the same. However, it has significantly more power, requires no human effort and does not dent the silo. The pneumatic knocker was first developed over 50 years ago by company founder Erwin Lüer, and to this day, singold’s pneumatic knockers remain the most powerful on the market. They operate only when needed, minimizing strain on weld seams that can otherwise fatigue under continuous vibration. By activating as required, the pneumatic knocker protects containers, reduces compressed air consumption, and lowers noise levels, contributing
