Express Chipping, Inc. specializes in providing comprehensive ready-mix silo cleaning services designed to eliminate cement buildup and maintain optimal silo capacity. Our advanced techniques ensure smooth material flow, reducing production delays and operational inefficiencies. By addressing cement accumulation and enhancing material discharge rates, our professional cleaning services help ready-mix plants improve their productivity and minimize downtime.

Cement Accumulation

• Issue: Cement particles can adhere to the walls of silos over time, forming hardened layers or clumps due to moisture and compaction.
  • Impact:
    • Effective Capacity Reduction: Accumulated cement reduces the internal volume of the silo, limiting storage capacity.
    • Impeded Material Flow: Hardened layers obstruct the free flow of cement during discharge, leading to blockages.
  • Solution: Regular professional cleaning, including mechanical and chemical methods, to maintain full silo capacity and ensure smooth material discharge.

Production Delays

• Issue: Blockages and slow material flow from hardened cement can cause significant production hold-ups.
  • Impact:
    • Delayed Mixing: Interruptions in cement flow delay the mixing process.
    • Delivery Schedules: Concrete delivery schedules are impacted, causing delays in project timelines.
  • Solution: Efficient buildup removal using high-pressure water jetting and pneumatic tools to keep production lines running smoothly and without interruptions.

Increased Operational Costs

• Issue:  Frequent maintenance and operational inefficiencies due to buildup.
  • Impact:
    • Maintenance Costs: Increased frequency of manual cleaning and repairs.
    • Operational Inefficiencies: Higher energy consumption and labor costs.
  • Solution: Scheduled maintenance programs, including periodic inspections and preventive cleaning, to minimize downtime and reduce long-term costs.
