Ambipar is proud to be the first company in Ireland to offer a safe, effective, and fully remote solution for removing even the most stubborn build-ups and blockages from silos.
Under certain operating conditions, materials such as cement, gypsum, coal, grains, and various screenings can adhere to silo walls, causing hang-ups and blockages. These issues reduce storage capacity, slow production and dispatch, and can lead to unplanned shutdowns, material loss, and in severe cases, serious safety risks.
Ambipar’s specially developed Silowhip system provides a fast, safe, and cost-effective method for clearing these blockages without the need for hazardous and time-consuming man-entry.
The Silowhip system uses a pneumatically powered cleaning head that is lowered into the silo via a mechanical boom capable of rotating 360 degrees. With a 7.9-metre boom length, the system can clean silos up to 15.8 metres in diameter from a central position. It requires only 1.5 metres of vertical clearance and 0.8 metres of horizontal space from the centre of a 0.6-metre access point.
Ambipar’s Silowhip technology ensures efficient cleaning, minimal downtime, and maximum safety – delivering a reliable and compliant solution for silo maintenance across all industrial sectors.
