Regardless of what the silo contains, there’s a number of methods the ACS Specialist Cleaning team can undertake. The most common and basic method is to simply brush down the silo’s interior manually, with the aim to scrape off debris while taking care to not scratch the silo surface.
When it comes to cleaning food silos, our specialist cleaners recommend using the vacuum extraction method. This is designed to take up as little of your business’ productivity time as possible as well as keeping you fully compliant with UK food safety and hygiene standards.
For the toughest of jobs, the experts at ACS Specialist Cleaning rely on the gyro whip cleaning method since it’s the safest and most efficient way of cleaning silos. The innovative gyro whip cleaning system combines the power of air blasting with the flexibility of hydraulic whip machines, meaning this silo cleaning method completely eliminates the risk of contamination and lost storage capacity. Bin whip silo cleaning is designed to be the best method to tackle common storage issues such as rat holing and bridging.
ACS Specialist Cleaning avoids silo cleaning methods such as Vibrators and Low friction linings as these options are too expensive and can potentially damage the structure of silos.
The ACS team also provide Silo repair services.
This is the compaction of contents onto the side side of a silo. Rat holing not only reduces overall operating volume in silos, but also compromises on quality control, as the older, ‘rat holed’ contents begins to degrade and can potentially spoil the rest of the silo’s contents. The ACS Specialist Cleaning team uses the latest industrial cleaning equipment designed to eliminate rat holing issues in silos.
Similar to rat holing, bridging involves the compaction of materials at the bottom of the silo, with the potential to block the silo outlet – getting its namesake for the bridge-like shape that forms above the outlet. In order to avoid problems such as bridging occurring, it’s important that a regular silo maintenance schedule is carried out.
There’s a number of dangers concerning the usage and maintenance of silos. The most obvious risk present from the nature of working at height, as falls can occur from improper conduct or faulty equipment.
The loading process itself comes with a number of risks that operators face, since they need to work amongst the powerful conveyors and spinning PTO shafts as they monitor the flow of material, adjust speeds and turning the machinery on and off.
The preparation process for loading silos presents serious potential for risk as workers have to work directly below suspended, heavy unloader machinery.
Meanwhile the unloading process bears unique challenges for operators to safely overcome. The fermentation of particular Silage can produce methane within the silo, which can lead to the asphyxiation of workers within the silo.
Lastly, silo operators with the responsibility of ‘walk it down’ during unloading face the risk of grain entrapment, as pockets in the silo material can give way underfoot which leads to the worker becoming stuck or completely sunk into the silo’s material in a sudden motion. This can lead to suffocation.
The National Agricultural Safety Database have set out a clear course of action for dealing with grain bin entrapment.
