Silo Interior Cleaning
Product compaction, humidity, and electrostatic charge cause buildup on the internal walls.
Manual cleaning involves entering confined spaces with ATEX risk, high costs, and long downtimes.
Risks and consequences
- Contamination and loss of product quality.
- Reduction of the silo’s usable capacity.
- Risk of dust explosion (ATEX).
- Labor costs and production downtime.
Types of common waste
Caked flours, cereals, and sugars
Compacted mineral powders
Lumps of fats or oils
Corrosion encrustations
