Overview
The sugar industry requires strict cleanliness, safety, and material protection standards due to the highly combustible and corrosive nature of sugar dust. From refining to packaging, facilities face constant dust accumulation and moisture that can impact equipment performance and workplace safety.
At Mid America Service Solutions, we provide specialized services—including dry ice blasting, silo inspections, and tank inspections—designed to help sugar facilities maintain compliance and reduce risk. From FDA-compliant silo linings to high-performance polyurea coatings, we support safe, efficient, and year-round operations.
Our Primary Services
- Advanced Cleaning: Dry ice blasting, hydroblasting, and combustible dust removal.
- Integrity Testing: Silo inspections, tank inspections, and structural health monitoring.
- Hygienic Linings: FDA-compliant silo linings, tank linings, and bin protection.
- Sanitary Floors: Epoxy flooring, polyaspartic topcoats, and slip-resistant finishes.
- Corrosion Defense: Urethane, polyurea, and moisture-resistant industrial coatings.
Combustible Dust Removal & Blasting
Combustible Dust Removal & Blasting
Blasting services are critical for removing residue and old coatings from structural steel and processing areas.
- Dry Ice Blasting Advantage: This is especially beneficial in sugar facilities. It removes combustible dust and buildup without introducing moisture or secondary waste, significantly reducing the risk of caking or explosion.
- Precision Prep: We also utilize abrasive blasting for exterior structural restoration, ensuring surfaces are properly prepared for long-term protective systems.
Sugar Silo & Tank Inspections
Sugar silos and bins require routine oversight to prevent hazards associated with bridging, caking, and corrosion. Sugar dust accumulation presents both operational and explosion risks if left unaddressed.
- Proactive Hazard Detection: Our silo inspections and tank inspections identify early signs of wall thinning and structural stress.
- Structural Preservation: By evaluating the condition of tank linings and coatings, we help facilities remain compliant with safety regulations while protecting critical assets.
Hygienic Coatings & Silo Linings
Sugar residue and temperature fluctuations can accelerate corrosion on exposed metal. We apply industrial-grade polyurea, urethane, and polyaspartic coatings to extend asset lifespan.
- Smooth, Non-Porous Finishes: Our silo linings and tank linings provide long-term protection against moisture intrusion and abrasion.
- Sanitation & Safety: Properly applied coatings improve sanitation, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance visibility throughout the refining area.
Seamless Epoxy Flooring Systems
Processing floors and packaging lines benefit from epoxy flooring that is durable and easy to clean.
- Slip Resistance: We install slip-resistant surfaces that enhance worker safety in environments where sugar residue and moisture can create hazardous conditions.
- Chemical & Abrasion Resistance: Our epoxy flooring systems are designed to withstand heavy equipment and frequent wash-downs, maintaining a seamless barrier against moisture and sugar acids.
