Safely remove blockages using explosive technology
NT Service GmbH removes silo blockages using precise explosive technology – controlled, compliant and safe. With rope access, we eliminate even the toughest deposits and ensure reliable material flow.
Explosive technology for free-flowing silos
Deposits and blockages in silos and tanks are often difficult and time-consuming to remove using conventional methods. Explosive cleaning offers a precise solution: controlled charges reliably loosen incrustations – without damaging the structure and with documented results.
Save
Explosive charges are precisely calculated. This protects the structural integrity of the system and ensures operational safety.
Efficient
Our explosive technology reliably restores material flow and prevents extended production downtime.
Cost-effective
Targeted procedures significantly reduce effort and costs compared with conventional blockage removal measures.

Applications by bulk material type
The possible applications of explosive technology depend on the type of stored bulk material. A distinction is made between mineral and organic storage materials.
- Bulk material loosening
- Improve bulk material flow
- Blockage removal
- Overhang blasting in bulk storage
- Hazard elimination through precise micro-blasting
- P2 cartridge blasting without detonation impact
Selected case studies on explosive cleaning
Our case studies present real operations carried out by NT Service GmbH – including specific requirements, challenging hazard situations and professional execution. Each case study demonstrates how we reliably and compliantly manage safety critical specialist operations.
Silo blockage removed
Explosive cleaning in a blocked clinker silo near Hanover
Compacted clinker was blocking the discharge. Using AU-NOX-Safe blasting technology, the blockage was removed in a targeted manner and material flow was reliably restored – efficiently, safely and environmentally responsibly.
Your advantage through our blasting technology
Our rope access technicians are certified specialists in rope access technology and reliably ensure safe access to the silo system, even under difficult conditions.
For explosive cleaning, the charges are inserted and compacted into prepared boreholes in a targeted manner. This achieves controlled fragmentation of the material – with minimal use of explosives, reduced vibration in the bulk storage system and a particularly gentle effect on the structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here we answer common questions about explosive cleaning. For further questions, we are happy to assist you personally – simply use our contact form.
What is the advantage of explosive cleaning?
With our blasting technology, blockages are removed in a targeted manner without affecting the structure of the system. Even deep or hard-to-access silo areas can be reliably cleared – even in complex system components.
Can blasting also be carried out in potentially explosive areas?
Potentially explosive zones such as grain silos require special safety precautions. Our ATEX-certified blasting technology enables operation in such areas as well – with adapted procedures, special protective measures and without ignition risk.
Do you also offer emergency explosive cleaning in the event of production stoppages?
Yes. In the event of acute blockages, every minute counts. Our emergency explosive cleaning service is designed to be carried out at short notice and with minimal effort, so production can be resumed quickly – whether in raw material silos or mixing plants.

How do you ensure the structural safety of my system?
Our explosive cleaning reliably protects the stability and structural integrity of silo walls. The explosive charges are precisely calculated and dimensioned to remove stubborn deposits without affecting the structure.
For maximum efficiency and the greatest possible material protection, we plan every measure precisely and define the optimal blasting parameters. Especially in cement and grain silos, we use the smallest necessary blasts – gentle on the material while remaining highly effective.
Will I receive documentation of the completed measure?
Yes. After every explosive cleaning operation, you receive a detailed report and the corresponding certificates. These documents record the entire cleaning process and are particularly important in the cement and building materials industry to transparently demonstrate the quality and safety of the cleaning work.
