Silo Cleaning
Clean silo – safe operation.
Silo cleaning – for operational safety, hygiene and long lifespan
Regular silo cleaning is crucial for maintaining good function, safety and hygiene – whether the silo is used for grain, feed, cement or other bulk goods. Over time, dust, dirt, coatings and sometimes even mould or pests accumulate inside the silo, which can affect both material quality and mechanical operation.
At Silo Service we offer professional cleaning of silos – both interior and exterior – with focus on safety, precision and minimal downtime.
When is silo cleaning needed?
- With changing content or seasonal change
- Before service, repair or painting
- With reduced flow or clogging
- With moisture, bad odour or risk of mould
- To comply with hygiene requirements (especially within agriculture and food industry)
We clean all types of silos:
- Grain silos
- Cement silos and building materials
- Feed silos for agriculture
- Industrial storage silos
- Steel silos, concrete silos and plastic containers
How the cleaning is done:
Our method is adapted to silo and content. We use among other things:
- High-pressure flushing
- Rotating brushes and vacuum equipment
- Safe climbing and lifts when needed
- Dust handling and protective equipment
- Inspection and documentation of the silo's condition
All work is performed by trained staff with experience in working in confined spaces and at heights.
Prevent problems with regular cleaning
Silos that are not cleaned in time risk clogging, corrosion, reduced storage capacity and even production stoppages. With proper care you extend the silo's lifespan and avoid expensive operational disruptions.

Vanliga frågor & svar
What is the difference between silo cleaning and silo sanitisation?
Silo cleaning involves a thorough cleaning of the inside and outside of silos to remove dirt, dust, deposits and residues of previously stored material. Silo sanitisation goes one step further and includes disinfection to eliminate harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, mould and other contaminants, which is particularly important in industries with high hygiene requirements such as food and pharmaceutical industries.
How often should silo cleaning and sanitisation be carried out?
The frequency of silo cleaning and sanitisation depends on several factors, including the type of stored material, the amount of deposits and hygiene requirements in your specific industry. Generally it is recommended that silo cleaning is performed regularly, e.g. quarterly or biannually. Sanitisation may be required less often but should be performed when there is a risk of microbial contamination.
What methods and equipment does Silo Service use for silo cleaning and sanitisation?
Silo Service uses advanced cleaning and sanitisation technology to ensure a thorough and effective process. This includes high-pressure washing, vacuum cleaning, brush systems and specialised sanitising agents. We also use inspection cameras to identify and monitor problem areas inside silos.
