Silo cleaning

Blancon’s silo cleaning method is safer, faster and more efficient than other traditional silo cleaning methods and avoids human entry into the silo. Our customers cite technology, quality of service, required time to clean, and ability to reuse materials, and of course, superior results, as key criteria for selecting Blancon. We offer our customers a well-tested method and system, proven across the world for well over 15 years. We deliver results.

 

Blancon’s Silo Management function provides services to economically remove, loosen and clean compacted materials from silos and bulk storage containers. Through our highly qualified crews, using our unique Silo-Clean System, silos are delivered to the client in a condition deemed “safe for human-entry.” Our technique consists of various silo cleaning methods with no human entry, which emphasis on efficiency, safety and health directly related to entering a confined space;

  • Customer-oriented approach to silo maintenance projects

  • Highly efficient solution with ability to clean multiple silos simultaneously

  • Elimination of need for extremely dangerous solutions based on explosives and ammunition

  • Superior power and effectiveness than Gyro Whip-type solutions

  • No need for human entry during cleaning operations

  • Ability to clean ceilings, included inverted cones

  • Certified to work in explosive environments (ATEX Zone 20 certified)

Industrial vacuuming

Blancon’s experts can handle all of your industrial cleaning, waste & environmental services, and transport needs. Blancon can offer the best of both wet and dry vacuuming with powerful vacuum truck cleaning.

 

Our vacuum service is ideal for cleaning silos, hoppers, tanks, boilers, dust collectors, wet wells, cooling towers, sumps, etc. We can remove a wide range of materials quickly and safely — wet or dry — including slurries, sediments, powders, aggregates, granular materials and more.

In addition to supplying any required vacuum work, Blancon can power-wash and disinfect interior storage surfaces. Once waste materials are collected, Blancon furnishes solutions for waste disposal. Additionally, we can offer transportation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous materials by bulk, drum, or roll-off containers.

Industrial painting

Blancon offers a wide range of specialized surface preparation, corrosion control and industrial painting services. We have the resources to carry out major contracts in the industrial and commercial sectors as well as being able to fully service our customers.

 

  • Using climbers or platforms the silos are restored using a combination of high pressure washing/ wet-blasting, rust stabilizer priming and painting with protective paints
  • Industrial epoxy resin with a very high build can be used to paint the silos as normally only one coat application is necessary, saving both on labor and materials costs

  • Design and repair of concrete using Migrating Concrete Inhibitors
  • MCI can be used to treat already set concrete; the material soaks into the concrete around the foot of the stanchion and then travels by reverse osmosis through the mass of the concrete seeking out steelwork where it attaches to and stops the rust activity

  • Cleaning and painting of small and large steel structures, using some of the most advanced equipment available and specialized coatings for the specific application     
  • Gas tank, tube and other vessel treatment
  • Grit basting and application of high performance paint system to the external surfaces
  • Internal grit blasting of storage tanks and the application of spray-on tank linings
  • Our operatives carry various confined space entry certificates allowing tanks in even the most hard-to-reach places to be serviced

  • For larger cement/ ready-mix silos, we provide on-site preparation and painting of external silo and structure surfaces

  • For mobile cement/ ready-mix plants we restore and paint silos at specially designated locations 

  • High pressure washing of external surfaces
  • Internal critical surfaces can be cleaned using dry-ice blasting to avoid water and humidity

  • Maintenance of sewage digesters, grit blasting internal surfaces prior to the application of epoxy coatings
  • Concrete repairs and corrosion control

  • Preparation and painting on ship structures, machine rooms, cargo holds etc.
  • Degreasing and cleaning of oil and other liquid tanks; we also offer kitchen, laundry and AVAC services for the marine sector
  • Services provided while ship is in port or at sea
