Silo bridging – how to break it

Material has formed a stable bridge over the discharge outlet. The weight of the material above supports the arch.

The silo is full but empty beneath the bridge. Risk of sudden collapse.

Manual poking from below – life-threatening. If the bridge collapses suddenly, tonnes of material fall.

BinDrill perforates the bridge in a controlled manner from above. Material is released gradually and safely.

Cement plants, power stations, grain terminals – anyone handling cohesive materials.
