#1 Why do I need to clean
my silos?
There are any number of reasons why you may need
to clean your silos but they all group into three main categories:
- Maintenance cleaning-
when repairs or inspections are required but built up material
is still
present.
- Flow Disruption
- occurs when built up material either reduces the flow
of product to
production or in some cases completely plugs the silo taking
it offline causing serious production slow downs or even
stoppages.
- Product Change or Contamination
- occurs when change of production needs results in a
different product being stored , when contaminated product
is received and needs to be purged, or the natural degradation
of the stored product requires routine cleaning to remove
scaling or sub standard product.
In all three cases Silo Clean offers the solution,
our systems are designed to deliver the fastest turnaround
time available in the industry ensuring that your silo
is back on line making you money in the shortest possible
time.
#2 How does the Silo Clean System work?
The Silo Clean System uses compressed air as a power source
to operate specially designed cutting heads that contact
the material crushing it and discharging it through existing
gates.
The System can be operated from the top down or the bottom
up requiring openings as small as three inches and works
in a random pattern to ensure complete coverage from ceiling
to cone.
The heads are capable of crushing rock hard product or
a soft powder scaling all without damage to linings or air
slides/pads.
#3 How can the Silo Clean System save me
money?
The Silo Clean System saves you money in many ways:
- Fast clean out times mean less down time and reduced
production delays.
- Twenty- five years of experience means we do it right
the first time.
- Dry process means no by products to dispose of like water
or chemical methods.
- No manual entry, means no confined space compliancy costs.
- Turn key means minimal in house labor costs.
- Reclaimed material is often of a saleable nature.
#4 Can I purchase the Silo Clean System or
do you only provide service?
The Silo Clean System is available worldwide for sale
or service. The introduction of the new HSPS for the feed
industry and the S.P.C. Systems have made it easier for
Silo Clean to sell our Systems but our core business is
still offering service contracts worldwide. The latest trend
has been a demonstration service cleaning with portions
of the cost applied against future System purchases giving
the end user the opportunity to see the results before they
buy. This has allowed us to demonstrate the Systems capabilities
on site, showing prospective purchasers first hand results
and applications specific to their needs.
#5 Do you carry insurance and what is your
safety record?
Silo Clean is proud of our safety record recording no
lost time accidents in the past five years and no claims
since the beginning of Silo Clean.
We carry full insurance coverage including Workmans compensation
for all crew members and $5,000,000.00 liability coverage.
Our crews are WHMIS and MSHA trained and have attended
several site specific training programs making us a very
safety minded company, able to work safely in any application
even explosive environments.
