Silo Cleaning, Tank Cleaning & Baghouse Cleaning

Action Duct has an uncompromising commitment to quality and safety. We are highly skilled at cleaning silos, dry or wet storage tanks, bins, hoppers, cooling towers and industrial ovens (link to industrial oven cleaning page). servicing the agricultural, food, oil, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

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

The buildup of residue on the interior of silos reduces the volume of fresh product the silo will hold and may eventually make the silo unusable until the residue is removed.

How Silo & Tank Cleaning Improves Efficiency

Free movement of stored materials, on a first-in, first-out basis, is key to maximizing silo efficiency, so that the oldest product is evacuated first and does not contaminate newer, fresher product. Common problems are rat holing and bridging. With rat holing, powder from dry goods adheres to the walls of the silo. Bridging happens when material causes a blockage at the base of the silo.

Action Duct is highly skilled at safely and thoroughly cleaning silos, while minimizing downtime in your operation. Our service is fast and effective. We also clean bins, hoppers, tanks, cooling towers, industrial ovens and high ceilings.

Flour Silo Cleaning

Food storage receptacles, such as flour silos, need routine maintenance. Poor or delayed silo cleaning can create liability issues. Certain species of beetles thrive on grain and seed products. They will invade and contaminate flour silos readily if not cleaned regularly.

Periodic cleaning removes old food product, thus reducing the spread of microbial contamination into a freshly filled silo.

Cement Silo Cleaning

Cement silos are particularly prone to caking and clogging, for a few reasons:

Material that is not fully cooled creates condensation that causes the raw meal, finished cement, or clinker to stick together or cling to the sides
Moisture in the air dampens cement, which can lead to blockages and flow problems

Baghouse Cleaning

Action Duct personnel open up the baghouse and removes the filter socks from the housing, cleans them and reinstalls them. This ensures no blockage or clogging of product, and no tears or rips in the fabric of the filter bags, creating good airflow and no infestation or mold. Action Duct can also replace the filter socks as needed.

Action Duct brings tremendous expertise to industrial tank cleaning while minimizing downtime for your operation. We service the agricultural/food, oil, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
