How Are Silo's Cleaned?
The cleaning of silos involves removing the build-up of materials such as grain, cement, or other bulk powders that can accumulate inside silos over time. This build-up can lead to blockages, contamination, and reduced storage capacity, posing both operational and safety hazards. Severn Access uses advanced rope access techniques, allowing our technicians to abseil up, around, and inside silos to clean them without the need for expensive scaffolding or heavy machinery.
Our team safely enters silos through narrow entry points, utilising specialist equipment such as high-powered vacuum systems, brushes, and pressure washers to thoroughly clean interior surfaces. For particularly stubborn materials, mechanical vibration or pneumatic cleaning tools may be used. We are adept at cleaning the following types of silos:
- Cleaning of chemical storage silos
- Cleaning of Industrial silos
- Cleaning of grain silos
- Cleaning of food silos
- glass silo cleaning
- Energy production silo cleaning
- Cement silo cleaning
We also provide silo inspection and maintenance as part of our silo services. Since silos often qualify as confined spaces, our team of confined space specialists ensures all work is carried out in compliance with the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997. Our technicians are fully trained to operate safely in environments with limited ventilation, poor lighting, and potentially hazardous materials.
Benefits of Silo Cleaning Services
Routine cleaning is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and safety of your storage systems. Here are just some of the key benefits of regular silo maintenance:
- Prevent Blockages: Over time, material build-up can lead to blockages that slow down production and cause costly downtime. Regular cleaning prevents this, keeping your operations running smoothly.
- Enhance Capacity: Residue build-up reduces the internal capacity of your silos, limiting the amount of material that can be stored. Cleaning ensures you are using your silos to their full capacity.
- Improve Safety: Clogged silos can lead to pressure build-up and create dangerous working conditions. Cleaning helps to mitigate these risks, ensuring the safety of your workforce.
- Reduce Contamination Risks: Material contamination can occur when remnants of old materials mix with new batches. Cleaning prevents cross-contamination and helps maintain the integrity of stored products.
- Extend Equipment Lifespan: Routine maintenance and cleaning can extend the life of your silos, preventing costly repairs or premature replacements.
At Severn Access, our thorough cleaning procedures are designed to mitigate these risks and help maintain the smooth operation of your storage systems.
