Cleaning For Severe Silo Blockages and Flow Issues
IA Bulk Materials is trained and equipped to handle silo buildup, flow issues, and blockages of any volume and severity. In storage silos and tanks, bulk material that stands too long can gradually harden and get stuck inside the structure, resulting in a loss of company assets. Whether your facility deals with grain, cement, lime, coal, salt, clay, fly ash, or other agricultural materials, IA Bulk can help with clogging in an efficient and timely manner.
Severe Silo Blockages and Flow Issues
No issue is too severe for us to handle. Unlike other contractors, our team has never walked away from an unfinished cleaning project. Regardless of the situation, we have all the necessary cutting-edge capabilities and unlimited resources to retrieve your product and return your structure to its full storage capacity. To solve flow issues, we can utilize Cardox CO2 blasting devices, expert equipment, and machinery, such as whips, industrial shotguns, and more. We are fully licensed and trained to handle explosives, when necessary, in the most severe situations. In addition, our specialty access capabilities enable our team to safely and efficiently enter the silo structure and administer cleaning solutions with maximized precision and effectiveness.
Customized Clean-Out Plans
Funneling, ratholing, plugging, doming, bridging, caking, wall buildup, and scaling are all issues that can affect storage silos. Our engineers will customize a clean-out plan that is tailored to your facility’s specific structure and material needs. The IA Bulk technicians are confine-space certified and trained in safety standby and hole watch. We work on concrete, steel, stave, corrugated, round, square, rectangle, divided, and segmented vessels and silos.
Silo Cleaning Applications
IA Bulk mobilizes on-site to visually assess the structure and quantify the location and type of flow or blockage issues. We then determine the best material and application for removal. Here are a few approaches we utilize:
Cardox Blasting
Holes are drilled through the silo’s wall to place the Cardox tubes. The Cardox system loosens and breaks up the congealed material.
