Biomass Silo Cleaning Services in the UK
Reducing Fire Risk & Maintaining Efficiency
Professional biomass silo cleaning services help remove compacted wood chip, dust and degraded fuel residues that can restrict discharge, reduce storage capacity and increase fire risk.
At VAK Conveying Systems, we deliver specialist biomass silo cleaning services across the UK, supporting energy plants, manufacturing sites, and waste-to-energy facilities. Our experienced engineers use non-entry methods and controlled confined space procedures where needed to safely remove build-up with minimal disruption.
Moist biomass, irregular wood chip and compacted fines can contribute to silo bridging, rat-holing and discharge blockages.

ATEX & Fire Safety Focus
Biomass silo cleaning may involve combustible wood dust, restricted access, working at height and unstable material. Work is planned using site-specific risk assessments, method statements, permit systems and appropriate ATEX or DSEAR controls.
When to Clean Biomass Silos
- Annually (minimum)
- After dust build-up is visible
- When discharge becomes inconsistent
