If a silo blockage is left unattended, it can cause damage to silo walls, resulting in costly repairs and downtime. While clearing the blockage is critical, the waste management process is equally important. Once all the material buildup is removed from your silo or bin, that material has to go somewhere.
What do you do when silo issues have resulted in lost material that must be discarded?
When you look for a professional silo cleaning company, it is best to look for one that offers comprehensive silo services, including vacuum truck services. These companies have the expertise and equipment to handle the removal and disposal of waste materials. Once USA Silo Services finishes a silo cleaning, we're able to evaluate and assess the recovered material to determine if it can be used for sale.

Maintaining your concrete storage dome’s functionality is essential for keeping production running smoothly. Without regular professional dome cleaning, issues like restricted airflow and caked-on stored material can significantly reduce your dome's efficiency and lead to costly downtime.
Professional cleaning services use specialized techniques and equipment to thoroughly clean and remove hardened material from dome walls, restoring them to their original condition. This ensures optimal airflow, prevents blockages, and allows for efficient material flow and uniform material discharge, maximizing your dome's storage capacity and overall productivity.
In addition to cleaning dome walls, professional services should include regular, professional inspections and maintenance of fluidizing equipment such as air pads. Worn or defective air pads can hinder the proper fluidization and discharge of stored material. Replacing or repairing these components as necessary ensures the continued reliability and effectiveness of your dome's fluidizing system, minimizing the risk of unplanned interruptions and production losses.

Routine cleaning of bulk storage vessels like bins, silos, and domes is one of the best ways that cement plants, cement and concrete batching plants, manufacturing facilities, and others can prevent unplanned downtime. Though regularly emptying your cement silo can help prevent impaction, material buildup on interior walls, blockages, and other material flow issues can still impact your production schedule.
How do you unclog a silo?
It's no surprise that stored cement can adhere to silo and dome walls or create blockages that reduce storage capacity and impede material flow. This is especially true if any amount of moisture penetrates your bulk storage vessel. When trying to unclog a silo or otherwise restore live capacity, it's essential to put safety first. Trying to use untrained, inhouse laborers to unclog a silo can damage silo walls.
How do you clean a cement silo?
Keeping your silos clean is crucial to avoid potential blockages. Without regular professional silo cleanings, stored material accumulates on interior walls over time and reduces stored capacity. Material buildup can also result in material flow issues that can damage the structure and cause unplanned downtime. There are many effective and safe methods for cleaning silos. To get the most for your money, it's important to consider the best cleaning method carefully before selecting a silo cleaning company.

What maintenance should be done during cement silo and dome cleaning?
