1500 m³ of beans stuck

Over the past few years, the operation has been struggling with continuous blockage issues in its soybean silo, where approximately 1500 m³ of beans remained immobile despite numerous attempts at solutions. This blockade significantly affected operational processes and had a negative impact on productivity and profitability.
When our team took on this project, it was estimated that the silo had reached a blockage level of 100% over several years. Our experts recognized the urgency and complexity of the challenge and were determined to find a solution using the best possible method.

The technologies BinDrill and Cardox

Over several shifts, the BinDrill technology was used to carefully drill through the compressed soybeans from the top of the silo. This process aimed to create passages within the blockade and loosen the material.
Now we employed the powerful Cardox system. This technology rapidly releases liquid carbon dioxide (CO2), breaking down the blocked material into smaller particles within seconds.
The combination of BinDrill and Cardox proved to be an unbeatable solution to the customer’s blocking problem.

Full capacity after a few days work

The result? After a several days of precise work, the silo was finally freed from its blockade. The customer expressed great satisfaction as their facility finally regained its full capacity.

No dangerous silo entry

It is particularly important to note that no personnel had to enter the silo during cleaning. The installation of all equipment was done outside the silo. Access to the silo was facilitated through existing hatches or specially installed access points. When applying our BinDrill and Cardox technologies, no scaffolding or other temporary access methods are required, as all work can be completed by us entirely from the outside.
