The ACT Group is Southern California’s silo cleaning specialist — headquartered in Fontana in the heart of the Inland Empire, and trusted by cement plants, mines, food processors, and power facilities across the West Coast. Our crews clean silos, bunkers, and bins from the top down with no confined-space entry on most jobs, so you get capacity back without the risk.
In the heart of your plant, silos, bunkers, and storage vessels play a pivotal role. If you’re grappling with material build-up and rat-holes, leading to reduced storage capacity and lower facility productivity, ACT is your go-to solution. With 25 years of expertise in the Silo business, Applied Conveyor Technology understands the impact of a plugged or slow-draining silo on your bottom line.
Our innovative Silo Whip technology allows us to clean silos efficiently, eliminating the need for confined space entry*. By safely positioning equipment on top of the silo, we ensure a thorough and safe cleaning process, minimizing exposure to unsafe conditions for your workers.
At Applied Conveyor Technology, we recognize the financial toll a compromised silo can take. That’s why we not only offer cutting-edge cleaning solutions but also provide scheduled maintenance cleaning and flow aid products. This proactive approach helps you avoid costly plugging issues, ensuring continuous and optimal silo performance.

*Confined space entry may be required for some cleaning scenarios.
Utilizing cutting-edge technology, ACT’s specialist crews clean your silos safely and effectively from the top, ensuring no damage to liners or bottoms.
Cleaning storage vessels during plant downtime is recommended preventive maintenance. This guarantees clean bunkers when the plant is offline, enhancing operational efficiency.
Material cleaned from bunkers seamlessly goes through your process, eliminating additional handling fees. With clean silos, bid farewell to material loss and unexpected downtime.
ACT’s Technicians excel in special whipping techniques for cleaning and are proficient in confined space cleaning when necessary. From boron to dry dog food, grain, and coke ash, we handle diverse silo contents.
Being local means faster mobilization, lower travel costs, and a crew on site quickly when a plugged silo threatens production.

Restoring capacity — no confined entry
Years of compacted material quietly eat storage capacity. Professional cleaning gives you back space you already paid for.
A plugged or slow-draining silo costs you money — in lost live storage, choked flow rates, and downtime. ACT has been in the silo cleaning business for 25 years, and our approach keeps workers out of unsafe conditions by positioning equipment safely on top of the silo.
Our whip system cleans from the top down — no confined space entry needed for most jobs* — restoring flow without damaging liners or bottoms.
Cleaning storage vessels during planned downtime keeps bunkers clean when the plant is offline — and paired with flow-aid products, keeps them from plugging again.
From boron to dry dog food, grain to coke ash — silos, bunkers, and storage vessels of every kind, cleaned with strategic technique to maximize flow and production.
*On occasion, confined space entry is required — determined during the proposal process.

Air cannons are the go-to fix for stubborn silo buildup — precisely timed air blasts keep material moving so it doesn’t cake back up after your cleanout. We size, install, and service them on the same visit as your silo cleaning.
Explore Air CannonsYes. Our Silo Whip technology works from the top of the silo, so our crews stay outside the vessel. That eliminates confined-space entry and the permits, standby crews, and safety risks that come with sending people inside.
Cement, clinker, coal, grain and feed, fly ash, and other bulk materials that bridge, rathole, or cake to silo walls — restoring full storage capacity and reliable discharge.
Falling usable capacity, erratic or slowing discharge, bridging above the outlet, and off-spec material are the usual signs of serious buildup. If you’re running air cannons more often just to keep material moving, it’s time.
We’ve been cleaning silos for more than 25 years, with MSHA and OSHA trained crews — including capacity-restoration projects for operations like Rio Tinto.
We’re based at 14644 El Molino Street in Fontana, California and serve plants across Southern California, with travel available for larger projects.
We’re based in Fontana, California and primarily serve Southern California — the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego — plus the Central Valley and scheduled projects across the West Coast, including Nevada and Arizona.
We offer 24/7 rapid response for emergency plugs and outages. For Southern California facilities, that usually means same-day or next-day mobilization.
