To keep high-capacity Inert Atmosphere Silos operating safely and efficiently, facilities must follow strict maintenance schedules:

  • Seal Integrity: Inspect and seal any leakages immediately to prevent outside oxygen from entering the system.
  • Thermal Protection: Replace the top solar heat shields as soon as they show signs of wear to prevent internal temperatures from rising.
  • Corrosion Control: Paint both the interior and exterior walls with food-grade rust protection and reflective white paint to protect structural metal and bounce away solar heat.
  • Site Sanitation: Keep the concrete pads and surrounding areas clean to prevent pest infestations from establishing near the silos.
