SILO CLEANING SERVICES & EQUIPMENT FOR THE ALUMINUM INDUSTRY
Safe, dry, spark-free cleaning for alumina and bauxite silos
For more than three decades, Mole•Master™ has helped aluminum producers recover lost storage capacity and reduce downtime. Our non-entry methods restore flow in alumina and bauxite vessels while protecting material quality and plant safety.
- Dry process with no water, no chemicals, no explosives, clean results and no mess to remediate.
- Remote, non-sparking equipment keeps crews out of the vessel and lowers fire or explosion risk.
- Total material recovery and full capacity restoration across bins, silos, and storage systems.

Mole•Master™ Services Corporation delivers silo and bin cleaning programs tailored to alumina and bauxite. The Big•Mole™ System adapts to any vessel type and to any duration of non-flow, restoring channels and freeing compacted or bridged material efficiently.
All equipment is operated from the roof, human entry is not required, and the process is completely dry. There are no chemicals and no explosives, so there is no contamination risk and no secondary cleanup. Non-sparking components support safe work in potentially hazardous environments.
In virtually every case, valuable product is recovered for further processing or loadout, and vessels return to planned capacity with shorter project times. Mole•Master™ also provides structural silo inspections to confirm integrity and identify issues before they impact production.
