Silo Cleaning Services

Silo cleaning has a tendency to be put to the “back of the queue” – put off until the necessity is overwhelming therefore causing problems such as build up of material, infestation etc. and lost bin capacity. Insect activity within silos is a constant risk and therefore regular cleaning can significantly reduce the risk of stored product insects breeding within silos which result in product contamination, and may result in bad publicity, customer complaints and costly disrupted production schedules.

The areas most affected by build up of unwanted debris and infestation, i.e. roof, dead areas, in the discharge cone or outlet areas. The cleaning of silos is therefore crucial to food hygiene. These problems are minimised by regular cleaning, spraying with food safe insecticides if infestation is present, and therefore providing cleaner bin surfaces resulting in better hygiene and product flow. Filters and filter sleeves can also be checked/cleaned or replaced.

Silo cleaning can be undertaken on either a schedule basis or ‘as and when’ required. If you decide to use our services, we can also offer you a recommended silo cleaning schedule, for larger companies we can offer a 12 month paid package which will allow you to plan and schedule silo cleaning on a more regular basis, enabling specific silo cleaning in a specific period and ensuring a fixed amount payable each month, as already implemented with some of our customers.

Any infestation, damage or repairs required are found in the silo whilst cleaning, these will be reported immediately to the relevant customer representative. On completion of work carried out, a full detailed report of the condition and finding will be issued for each silo cleaned, these are particularly useful for audit trials.
