SILO CLEANING SERVICES & EQUIPMENT FOR THE CEMENT INDUSTRY
Solutions for Hardened Build-Up in Your Cement Silo, Terminal, or Kiln
Mole•Master™ has led the silo and bin cleaning industry for 30+ years, restoring lost storage capacity and reducing downtime across cement silos, plants, and terminals.
- Heat + condensation create moisture that causes raw meal, finished cement, or clinker to clump or adhere to walls.
- Concrete silo walls can exacerbate clogging compared to steel; ambient humidity further dampens material.
- Regular inspections and preventive cleaning help avoid stoppages and keep capacity online.

Mole•Master™ Services Corporation has been the leader in the silo and bin cleaning industry for over three decades. During that time, our expertise has been established in solving lost storage capacity issues and downtime, the two most common problems that arise in cement silos, plants, and terminals.
Numerous factors can cause clogging in cement silos. Material that is not fully cooled can create condensation, which then creates moisture that causes the raw meal, finished cement, or clinker to stick together or to stick to the walls. Additionally, cement silo walls can create more clogging issues than their steel counterparts, and moisture in the air can also dampen the material, causing clogging.
One of the best ways to help prevent lost storage capacity is to schedule regular silo inspections. Mole•Master™ can fully examine power house silos, pack house silos, pre-heater towers, raw meal silos, kiln feed silos, conditioning towers, and more, detecting any problems within the silo or in the structure of the silo itself. Although the news may be that there are indeed structural issues or stoppages, catching these before the problem becomes too severe can help avoid downtime and can prevent the situation from worsening rapidly. Mole•Master™ recommends periodic preventative maintenance like silo cleaning for the same reasons.
