Silo Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning and maintenance of your bulk material structures it important for the life of your structure. 

They all require unique and skilled methods to achieve this, dependent on the type of structure. Because of this, Industrial Access Bulk Materials use various methods to clean and maintain silos, bins, tanks, and more.

Cardox CO2 blasts are an effective method to dislodge built-up material on storage vessel walls. This service is a specialty that requires specific training, so it’s an advantage we have over the competition in the Pittsburgh, PA area. We use many different methods, though — we also use bin whips, industrial shotguns, air cannons, and lances. Any combination of these methods and maintenance plans makes for a thoroughly cleaned structure, as well as improving the performance.

Bulk Material Vessel Inspections

Inspections are critical for catching any issues early. Our inspections ensure that your structures are up to code and that they’re stable. We have over 14 proprietary tools and methodologies to tackle any project.

As structures age, they may begin to deteriorate, so it is important to perform regular silo inspections so you can catch issues as soon as possible. Catching an issue early could save you from losing valuable assets and minimize downtime.

Why BinWhipping Is A Good Solution

BinWhipping services can minimize facility downtime and enhance worker safety, all while safeguarding valuable assets.

This widely-used cleaning solution involves using a bin whip, which is lowered into a vessel, silo, or bin through its top opening. The bin whip is then operated from the top of the storage structure to be cleaned.

The BinWhip is energized by compressed air, enabling various whip motions to dislodge and remove stuck or accumulated material. Throughout the process, the operator of the bin whip carefully navigates the entire structure to ensure all buildup is effectively broken free from the walls of the vessel, silo, or bin, thus restoring the material flow to its normal state. Despite the bin whip's capability to handle stubborn material, it is crafted from a material that ensures no harm or damage is done to the walls of the vessel, silo, or bin.
