Periodic silo cleaning is important for several reasons:
- Cleaning out residue buildup
- Reducing product clotting that can clog production lines
- Removing food contaminants and minimizing potential liability
- Preventing or eliminating microbial contamination
- Protecting against insect infestation
- Maintaining product freshness
- Maximizing storage capacity and silo efficiency
Industrial silos are used to store a wide variety of materials, including dry goods, wet materials and chemical products, all of which require silo cleaning services. The buildup of residue on the interior reduces the volume of fresh product the silo will hold and may eventually make the silo unusable until the residue is removed.
