Elevating productivity through non-entry silo cleaning

BUCHEN-ICS UK used their revolutionary non-entry technology to clean and clear silos, including the furnace hopper, quickly and safely.

A UK glass manufacturing facility recognized the need for a comprehensive modernization project to enhance productivity. This involved thorough site preparation, including cleaning multiple silos and completely removing stored products, notably the furnace hopper. The challenge was not only the limited timeframe but also ensuring the highest safety standards. BUCHEN-ICS UK was entrusted with this challenging task. Our team intervened with their revolutionary non-entry technology, highlighting their expertise beyond silo cleaning.

Our solution

Facing tight timelines and prioritizing safety, BUCHEN-ICS UK developed a strategic plan. Simultaneous work on multiple silos was organized to ensure seamless progression in the construction handover program. To meet project demands, three complete sets of non-man-entry silo cleaning BinWhip® equipment were deployed, along with three highly qualified technician teams. This strategy enabled BUCHEN-ICS UK not only to meet but exceed project demands within the specified timeframe, resulting in outstanding outcomes.

Project gains
Implementing BinWhip® silo cleaning technology provided significant advantages:

Enhanced productivity: Swift material removal facilitated by BinWhip® technology led to up to 30% greater efficiency, driving the plant toward its modernization goals.
Top safety and environmental standards: Adhering to non-entry silo cleaning procedures ensured that no personnel entered the silos during the cleaning process, maintaining impeccable safety and environmental standards.

Conclusion

Company information

BUCHEN-ICS GmbH

Blocked silos? We let your bulk flow. With our mobile silo cleaning systems - without entry. BUCHEN-ICS is one of the leading international providers of catalyst handling, silo cleaning, as well as chemical cleaning and decontamination. The silo cleaning service provided by BUCHEN-ICS is a highly specialized service for contaminated and clogged bulk material containers, which is performed without the need for personnel entry. Regardless of the type of bulk material - whether it’s coal, fertilizer, gypsum, cement, grain, animal feed, salt, or clay - it eventually accumulates on the container walls or clumps together. This contamination affects the container and reduces material flow and available storage capacity. Using the mobile silo cleaning systems BinDrill®, BinWhip®, and Cardox®, BUCHEN experts eliminate any form of contamination in silos up to 45 meters deep, without having to enter the containers and without potentially contaminating the bulk material. The cleaning equipment for mobile silo cleaning is antistatic, spark-proof, and meets even the strict safety standards and hygiene regulations of the chemical and food industries. The modular design of the equipment allows for quick installation on the container and adaptation to individual container sizes. Personnel entry into the silo is never necessary during the cleaning. At BUCHEN-ICS, you benefit from state-of-the-art technologies and our 45 years of experience in turnaround and projects.
