Silo Cleaning and Inspection

Overview

Your silo is unique to your industry, and our expert team understands how to handle your equipment and materials with the utmost care. We tailor the cleaning method to best suit your specific system.

Each job is performed with meticulous care and precision to ensure that our silo cleaning equipment or methods do not introduce any contaminants into your materials.

For instance, food product silos are particularly vulnerable to fungal and bacterial growth, pests, insects, and other contaminants. Regular silo cleaning provides a crucial layer of safety against these threats and helps prevent material loss. We adhere to good manufacturing practices throughout the cleaning process.

Our dry ice blasting technique effectively removes debris, leaving your silo completely dry without any secondary waste. The waste is pulverized during cleaning, and the dry ice evaporates on contact. This eliminates concerns about drying times, rust formation, or water getting trapped in small crevices, which could lead to mold or other issues.

What Are The Problems From Residue Buildup In A Silo?

Have you noticed efficiency issues with your storage silo due to residue build up, such as slower or “chunky” product release, more frequent product fills, slowed production, decreased profits, or even contaminated products? Over time, you can expect that the material your silos hold will buildup on the inside of the silo. Build up can decrease product flow, thereby decreasing the efficiency of “first in, first out” model many silos use.

When you’re unsure how to address these problems, you need a team of experts who can not only identify the root cause but also provide effective solutions, allowing you to get back to work smoothly.

Blockages slow down production time.

Delaying the removal of material buildup can lead to dangerous blockages or bridging. Blockages and bridging means that you might see your material come out of your silo in chunks, have very slow flow, or not come out at all. Not only do blockages hinder you from using your silo to maximum storage capacity, it results in slowed production and decreased profits. More importantly, blockages pose a danger to you and your storage vessel. Your situation then changes from a slowed production scenario to a safety issue.

Damage to your silo.

Blockages also hinder the flow of gravity, thereby holding up newer material and putting uneven pressure on the interior of the silo. All that material pressing down on the blockage means this uneven pressure could damage the structure and compromise the interior coatings. Damaging your structure and contaminating your products means lost material and even bigger problems for you.

Removing buildup helps to restore flow rate and optimize the storage capacity of the silo. With silo cleaning from Mid America Service Solutions, you can expect to recover some of your products which means increased money in your pocket.
