The SCS Process

SCS in Comparison to Traditional Cleaning Methods

Traditional cleaning methods can be very costly and time consuming. Storage operators must take into consideration costly down time, resulting in lost productivity and revenues, as well as waste removal, which further adds to cleaning expenses. Many Techniques also require cleaners to work within the confined space of the storage container, increasing the danger and risk.

Professional Care

SCS is aware that each storage facility has its own special needs and requirements. For this reason, each job is analyzed ahead of time by an experienced, professional engineer, to ensure the cleaning process will provide maximum effectiveness in the shortest time, and with the greatest care for your facilities.

Fast and Efficient

SCS's revolutionary cleaning process is fast, enabling storage operators to be quickly back in operation. The process is very efficient, generating little waste to remove, as almost all of the storage bin's contents are recovered. Utilizing the SCS process, storage silos can be effectively cleaned at a lower cost and in a shorter time than traditional cleaning methods.

Advanced Process

The SCS advanced cleaning process uses compressed air to drive specially designed cleaning heads. This technique is far more powerful than the best industrial whips in use in the market.

The cleaning heads are inserted and guided into clogged containers, via access ports on the outside of the container, and are effective in openings as small as 4 inches. Once the cleaning heads are inserted, regulated air pressure is applied and constantly monitored to ensure optimum cleaning effectiveness.

Safety and Property Protection

The SCS cleaning process provides a high level of safety as cleaning personnel remain outside of the storage bin. At no time during the process do personnel have to enter the storage container.

In order to ensure maximum cleaning effectiveness and protect the storage container, experienced personnel continuously monitor the cleaning process. The air pressure used is carefully evaluated before cleaning begins and then regulated as needed, during the process.

The Process

The SCS cleaning process utilizes a high-pressure compressor connected to one or more open-ended rubber cleaning hoses. Special cleaning heads are attached, as needed, to the ends of the hoses. The cleaning hoses are inserted into a clogged silo, whereby the whipping action of the pressurized hoses and cleaning heads cause the clogged material to be dislodged and drop to the bottom of the silo, from where it can safely be removed.

SCS's expertise lies in its knowledge of how to optimize the cleaning process - where to place the cleaning hoses, the size of cleaning hoses to use, the use of cleaning heads, and the management of air pressure and air flow volumes used during the cleaning process.
