Safe, Efficient Silo Cleaning—Wet or Dry, Inside and Out
At VAK Conveying Systems, we offer specialist internal and external silo cleaning services tailored to your material type, industry, and site requirements. Whether you need a dry clean to remove dust and product residues or a wet clean for hygiene-sensitive applications, our trained technicians deliver safe, thorough, and compliant results.
We clean silos used for food ingredients, grain, powders, plastics, wood dust, and more—restoring efficiency, reducing fire risk, and preventing contamination.
