Silo Refurbishment – Before & After
Our silo cleaning process
There are many factors which may make the specifics of one silo cleaning task different from another, but common elements of our silo cleaning process include:
- We disconnect overhead airslides so no further product can enter the silo while we clean.
- We establish a Lock-Out and Tag-Out system, so nobody other than our operatives has access to the silo.
- Any remaining loose grain or other product is removed prior to cleaning. This includes dealing with any bridging problems.
- We dry clean the silo or bin from top to bottom.
- We use equipment ranging from brushes to power tools to remove any remaining dust and other residue.
- The silo or bin is then thoroughly fumigated or sanitised at the end of the process.
We provide details of all we have done in a thorough written report afterwards.
