silo blockages

Materials such as Cement, Gypsum, Coal and screenings all have properties that under certain conditions will cause them to cling to Silo walls creating hang ups and blockages.

These blockages create delays in production and loss of storage capacity.

The risks and difficulties attached to recovering materials that will not flow freely from silos and hoppers are well known and in some cases have resulted in serious accidents.

Now it is possible to safely clear the toughest build ups without the need for men entering the silo, with efficient and safe results.

The Gyro Whip has been developed to tackle virtually all materials including cement, clinker, grain and coal.

To cope with the design and nature of some silos, the machine is constructed of non-sparking aluminium which also provides the benefit of lightweight manoeuvrability.

Production can continue throughout the operation. At no point do personnel have to access the silo. The equipment is light and easy to assemble.

The Gyro Whip is delivered to site, assembled, operated and disassembled by two operators.

The speed at which the machine works decreases the time, costs and the risks involved with man entry.

Silo Cleaning Services will also extract the product from the bottom of the silo.
