Professional Concrete Chipping
We restore the functionality and capacity of your industrial equipment.
At Alpha Silo Cleaning INC, concrete chipping is one of our key specialties. We perform the controlled and precise removal of hardened concrete that accumulates over time inside equipment such as mixer trucks, central mixers, silos and other industrial structures. Our approach is based on years of experience, the use of specialized tools and highly trained personnel, which allows us to perform this work without damaging the original surfaces or compromising the operability of the equipment.
Importance of concrete chipping
With daily use, it is inevitable that concrete begins to harden inside the equipment, progressively decreasing its load capacity and operational efficiency. If it is not removed periodically, it can cause:
- Overweight in the vehicle or equipment
- Reduced usable volume for new mixes
- Inconsistent or contaminated mixes
- Structural damage due to excess accumulation
- Increased fuel consumption
- High downtime and repair costs
A professional chipping service not only prevents operational failures, but also prolongs equipment life, improves work safety and maintains the quality of the final product.
How do we perform the chipping process?
Our process is designed to be safe, efficient and with minimal disruption to your operation:
1 - Initial inspection.
We evaluate the level of accumulation and the general condition of the equipment, determining the necessary tools and the safest access points.
2 - Area preparation.
We secure the work environment with all industrial safety protocols, blocking access and delimiting the area to protect personnel and equipment.
3 - Controlled mechanical removal.
We use specialized percussion tools (such as light pneumatic hammers) to remove adhered concrete without affecting the original structure of the drum, silo or mixer.
4 - Removal and cleaning.
The dislodged material is removed, the inside of the equipment is cleaned and a visual inspection is performed to ensure that the surface is free of obstructions and safe to operate.
5 - Report and recommendations.
At the end, we provide you with a report with before and after photos, as well as recommendations for the next preventive maintenance.
