Silo Cleaning Division · A Division of Express Chipping, Inc.
SiloMD™ Silo Cleaning
Buildup and bridging inside cement, ready mix, and asphalt silos steal storage capacity and choke material flow. SiloMD cleans silos with confined-space certified technicians under a written permit program, restoring flow while your plant keeps running.
Cleaning timed to receiving and loadout windows.
Crews hold confined space training on every job.
Specialized crews with silo-specific equipment.
Live storage and discharge flow return to design.
SiloMD crews dispatch to 49 states.
Condition records per silo close every visit.
Eight buildup patterns. One fix.
Funneling, ratholing, doming, bridging, and caking steal live storage. The animation shows each pattern and the properly maintained silo they all become.
SiloMD restores silo capacity with certified confined-space crews under a written permit program.

The more your packet tells us, the sharper the bid. Every answer below changes the crew, the equipment, and the number we bring. About three minutes, and skipping is allowed.

Step 1: pick your vessel. Rail cars count; they are their own service.
Everything this program covers
Our process
Simple, documented, and repeatable at every plant you run.
Silo Evaluation
We assess buildup, bridging, and flow issues .
Certified Cleaning
SiloMD removes buildup with confined-space certified crews while your plant keeps running.
Flow Restoration
Capacity comes back and material flows clean and consistent.
Inspection & Support
We document condition and support repairs before they become failures.
Rail Car Cleaning
Hopper cars cake and bridge the same way silos do, and a car that will not discharge is freight you already paid for sitting dead on a siding. SiloMD crews clean covered hoppers and specialty cars as a dedicated service with its own dispatch.
Same certified confined-space entry program, same documentation, scheduled around your switching windows.

Yes. Silo cleaning is confined-space work, and our SiloMD crews are trained and certified for it. Every entry runs under our permit program: atmospheric testing, a trained attendant, and a written rescue plan, while the cleaning restores capacity and material flow.
Buildup is payload you paid for and cannot sell. It reduces how many yards each truck can legally haul, adds dead weight that wears drums, suspensions, and drivelines faster, and hides fin damage that hurts mix quality. Left alone, it compounds into downtime.
We dispatch crews nationwide from eight strategic hubs in California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas (Dallas and Houston), Georgia, and Florida. We serve ready mix, cement, and asphalt producers in 49 states.
Cement, ready mix, and asphalt silo cleaning that restores live capacity
Cement and other bulk powders compact, bridge, and rathole inside a silo, especially in humid regions where moisture turns fine material into clumps and clogs. The silo still reads full, but the live capacity you can actually discharge keeps shrinking, flow slows, and batch weights drift. Professional silo cleaning removes buildup from the walls and cone and restores full storage flow.
Silo unclogging and buildup removal
SiloMD crews clear bridged material, wall buildup, and blocked cones on cement silos, ready mix plant silos, and asphalt silos. Clogged silos slow every load out of the plant; a cleaned silo discharges at full rate and keeps batching accurate.
Certified entry program
SiloMD entries are performed by confined-space certified technicians under a written permit program. That discipline controls the largest safety exposure in silo work and keeps your plant clear of confined-space entry permits, rescue standby requirements, and the risk that comes with putting a person under compacted material.
Scheduled silo maintenance
Like drum chipping, silo cleaning works best on a schedule tuned to your throughput and climate. High-humidity markets in the Southeast typically need tighter cycles than dry Western plants. We track service history per silo so your cadence is based on data, not guesswork.
Purpose-built equipment for cement silos
SiloMD crews clean welded silos holding up to 10,000 tons and modular bolted silos from 500 to 5,000 tons, using rotary cleaning heads, vacuum systems, acoustic cleaners, industrial vibrators, and high-efficiency dust collection. Work runs in the evening during off hours so your plant batches at full rate the next morning. We track three KPIs per silo: storage utilization rate, material flow efficiency, and product quality index, so your cleaning cadence is set by data.
Silo cleaning dispatches nationwide alongside ready mix drum chipping, so one scheduled visit can cover trucks, central mixers, and silos at the same plant. Serving ready mix, cement, and asphalt producers in 49 states. Send a service request and a specialist responds within one business day.
