Check fill pipes for leaks, wear or mechanical damage
Check silo pop off valves for blockages, buildup and general operation
Check level indicators for leaks, general operation and mechanical damage
Check for buildup of material and general housekeeping issues
Visually inspect pinch valve operation and plumbing
Check general condition of the structure, walkways, beams, roof and silo body
Check gate for leaks or mechanical damage
Check pneumatic cylinder or actuator for loose bolts, proper alignment and operation
Check the aeration system air pipes for air leakage, check connecting elements for deformations, cracks or if missing
