Silo Cleaning Services  Work is carried out using cutting-edge equipment and is fast, efficient safe.  The cleaning operatives do not need to climb into the container at any time.  The company’s services are designed to safely remove compacted materials from any size or shape of silos, bins, hoppers, tanks, reactors and chimneys. 9

Silo Cleaning Services Safely remove compacted materials from any size or shape of:  Silos  Bins  Hoppers  Tanks  Reactors  Chimneys 10

Typical Problems  Substances kept in bulk storage silos generally attract moisture which eventually causes the material to bind and adhere to the walls or form clumps, consequently resulting in blockages of the valve outlets and build-up along the sidewalls and the base of the vessel. 11

Silo Whip  The whipping head is suspended inside the silo and efficiently removes build up using an air-driven or hydraulic rotary cutter with a 360 degree rotation and an operating depth of up to 50m.  Cleared material simply falls to the base of the silo for extraction. The whip is controlled from the top and outside of the silo. 12

Cardox Blasts  Cardox tubes are filled with liquid carbon dioxide. When energized by the application of a small electrical charge, the chemical heater instantly converts the liquid carbon dioxide to a gas expanding the CO 2 and building up pressure until the rapture disk at the end of the tube bursts, this releases the CO 2 now 600 times it original volume. A special discharge nozzle is employed. 13
