Bin Whipping & Silo Cleaning
Get stuck material moving again, without sending anyone into the bin.
What Is bin whipping? Bin whipping clears hardened, caked or hung-up material from the inside of silos, bins, hoppers and bunkers. Our crews use a hydraulic Pneumat BinWhip and run it from the top opening of the vessel. The rotating whip head cuts buildup off the walls, clears ratholes and knocks down bridged material so it flows to the discharge again.
Why It Matters
Safety first
Entering a bin is one of the most dangerous jobs in bulk handling. We clean from the top, so nobody goes inside to break up material.
Less downtime
Plugged bins stop production. Our crews mobilize quickly and get your flow back with minimal disruption.
Material recovery
Material stuck on the walls is inventory you’ve paid for and can’t use. Bin whipping brings back usable product and lost capacity.
Clean, controlled work
The system is all hydraulic and uses food-grade oil. It needs no compressed air, so it kicks up less dust than air-blast methods.

How We Work
1. Assess
We review the bin, the material and the access points, and build a safe work plan.
2. Setup
We mount the equipment at the top hatch and lower the whip head into the bin.
3. Clean
The crew works the head up, down and around, clearing buildup in controlled passes from top to bottom.
4. Finish
Our vacuum trucks remove the loosened material, and our confined space entry and rescue team is on hand if any entry is required.
Who We Serve
We serve grain elevators, feed mills, soybean and ethanol plants, cement and aggregate producers, and steel and industrial facilities across NW Indiana, Chicagoland and the nearby Midwest.
