Adler Industrial Services was engaged to perform large-scale silo material removal at the Newark brewing facility operated by Anheuser-Busch, producer of Budweiser and other leading beverage brands. As part of the facility shutdown and decommissioning process, Adler was tasked with removing residual dry material from twelve industrial silos to prepare the site for safe closure.
This was not routine cleaning. It was a coordinated industrial vacuum operation executed under strict compliance, documentation, and logistical constraints.

Adler Industrial Services was engaged to perform large-scale silo material removal at the Newark brewing facility operated by Anheuser-Busch, producer of Budweiser and other leading beverage brands.
As part of the facility shutdown and decommissioning process, Adler was tasked with removing residual dry material from twelve industrial silos to prepare the site for safe closure.
This was not routine cleaning. It was a coordinated industrial vacuum operation executed under strict compliance, documentation, and logistical constraints.

Project Scope: Industrial Silo Cleanout & Dry Bulk Material Removal
The objective was clear: completely empty twelve silos of residual dry product material to allow safe decommissioning.
Adler’s scope included:
• Industrial silo material removal
• Dry bulk vacuum extraction
• High-capacity industrial vacuum truck deployment
• Material transport to approved offloading facility
• Full load documentation and compliance tracking
• Certificate of Destruction issued for every load
All material was removed directly from bottom discharge valves using high-powered industrial vacuum systems. No confined space entry was required. The material was fully dry.

The Challenge: Silo Decommissioning Under Real-World Conditions
Each silo presented unique operating conditions.
Challenges included:
• Variations in residual material type and density
• Differences in volume remaining inside each unit
• Limited access and tight equipment positioning
• Industrial site logistics and staging constraints
• Cold weather conditions during execution
This was not a one-size-fits-all operation. Each silo required a site-specific execution plan.

Adler’s Industrial Vacuum Strategy
Fleet Mobilization & Equipment Positioning
Adler mobilized a fleet of industrial vacuum trucks staffed by experienced operators and supported by dedicated on-site technicians.
Precision mattered. Several silos required strategic truck placement to ensure efficient hose routing and continuous material flow.
Through coordinated staging and disciplined execution, Adler maintained steady production without unnecessary repositioning or downtime.

Direct Discharge Extraction
Material was extracted directly from the silo discharge valves using high-powered vacuum systems designed for dry bulk removal.
This approach provided:
• Controlled material extraction
• Reduced dust and environmental exposure
• Efficient load cycles
• Minimal disruption to surrounding site operations
Every load was transported to an approved offloading facility.
For full compliance and documentation, Adler issued a Certificate of Destruction for each load removed.

Safety, Compliance & Documentation
Decommissioning projects require accountability.
Adler maintained:
• Full coordination with Anheuser-Busch site personnel
• Documented load tracking
• Approved transport and disposal procedures
• Clear chain of custody
• Real-time communication with facility teams
The result was a clean audit trail from extraction to final disposal.

Results: All Twelve Silos Emptied Safely & On Schedule
Despite weather challenges and site access constraints, Adler delivered measurable results:
• Twelve silos fully emptied
• Completed safely
• Executed within schedule
• Delivered within budget
• No operational disruption to decommissioning timeline
The project demonstrated Adler’s ability to manage complex industrial vacuum operations at large manufacturing facilities.
