Silo Sealing
The Foundation of Successful Fumigation
Effective fumigation starts long before the gas is applied—it begins with a well-sealed, airtight structure. At Hitem Solutions, we specialise in preparing silos, grain sheds, and storage facilities to achieve optimum gas retention and treatment performance.
Our experienced technicians provide professional sealing solutions designed to minimise gas loss, maximise treatment effectiveness and help ensure compliance with industry standards.
We also design and install customised circulation systems to promote consistent gas distribution throughout the storage area, delivering reliable results every time.
Using specialised equipment, proven techniques, and high-quality sealing materials, we help protect your grain and your investment.
Why Airtight Sealing Matters
A properly sealed silo or grain shed is one of the most important factors in achieving successful pest control outcomes.
Maintaining the correct fumigant concentration for the required exposure period ensures the elimination of pests at every life stage—from eggs and larvae through to adults. Poorly sealed structures can allow gas to escape, reducing treatment effectiveness and increasing the risk of resistant insects surviving.
Our Sealing Process
We conduct a thorough structural assessment to identify leak points, weaknesses, leaks, or areas requiring repair and reinforcement.
Inspection
01
We start by thoroughly preparing the structure, removing dust, debris, and residual material that could affect sealing performance or fumigation effectiveness.
Preparation
02
Using premium-grade sealing products and industry-proven methods, we secure all potential gas escape points, including hatches, access doors, seams, joins, aeration ducts, and ports.
Application
03
Pressure testing validates airtight integrity for effective fumigation.
04
Testing
Once the structure is fully sealed and equipped, it is ready for safe, compliant, and highly effective fumigation.
