Every Silo Cleaning Project Is Different
With literally scores of materials from cement to coal to chemicals to grain being stored in bulk storage facilities around the world, no two silo cleanout projects are the same. Mole•Master breaks these types of projects down into three categories: low degree of difficulty, medium degree of difficulty, and high degree of difficulty.
The graph below illustrates the different levels of difficulty encountered when cleaning out or unclogging silos. A typical bell curve illustrates that approximately 60% of the projects fall into the medium degree of difficulty (MDD) level while the other 40% fall into either the low (LDD) or high degree (HDD) of difficulty level.
LDD projects are sometimes handled manually by the plant’s maintenance crew. MDD projects typically require equipment such as the Junior™ 360º or Arch•Master™ which can be provided by Mole•Master as a turnkey service or purchased/rented for a specific project.
HDD projects require the ultimate level of experience and safety that can only be accomplished by highly trained technicians who have completed these types of projects in the past. Mole•Master’s Big•Mole™ System is the only turnkey silo cleaning service available to handle HDD projects on a reliable and consistent basis.

The Big•Mole™ System
High-degree-of-difficulty jobs generally involve the storage of cement, coal, limestone, gypsum, clinker, and pelletized or hydrated lime or other hygroscopic bulk solids. However, any storage vessel can experience hardened build-up, from the grain industry to food processing to glass to biofuels. Flow problems involving these types of tough blockages can only be solved using the proprietary technology of the Big•Mole™ System. Once Mole•Master is on the job, we handle everything from initial planning to project execution to final demobilization using our professional project management approach. This total turnkey service assures that nothing is left to chance. The Mole•Master team does not leave until your facility is clean and restored to planned storage capacity.
The benefits of the Big•Mole™ System include:
Versatility: Mole•Master will work on any type of bulk storage vessel, no matter what type of material is being stored and no matter how long the material has been non-flowing.
No Human Entry Required: No danger of injury due to collapse of stagnant material. All equipment is controlled remotely from the silo roof. We use NO chemicals and NO explosives. There is no chance of contaminating stored materials or damaging the vessel.
Total Material Recovery: In virtually every instance, valuable material is freed and readied for further processing or loadout, as required.
Lost Storage Capacity is Recovered: Storage vessels are restored to 100% of their planned capacity.
Downtime is Minimized: The Big•Mole™ System is so efficient that jobs that previously took weeks or even months now take only days. The result is less downtime and lower costs.
100% Dry Process: No water or other liquids are used. Therefore, there is no water damage to the material or facility. No mess. No mud. No expensive cleanup.
Non-Sparking Equipment: The Big•Mole™ System utilizes unique non-sparking equipment which is mandatory for potentially hazardous environments such as grain and coal storage facilities.
Preventative Maintenance Programs: Mole•Master offers routine maintenance programs tailored to the needs of your plant. Preventative maintenance can help avoid emergency call-outs for clogged bulk storage and process vessels.
