About Us

Our area of expertise is highly specialized and evolved. We design, manufacture, and distribute the world's finest mechanical dry cleaning tools that exist today.

We first developed our Air Flail cleaning technology to more efficiently clean the cargo holds of ocean going dry bulk cargo vessels after Portland Cement discharge. So we named our company HOLD CLEANING TECHNOLOGIES LLC.

Since then our technology has been continuously improved and adapted to clean other cargoes including Cement Clinker, metallic ores and concentrates, fly ash and slag. Besides cargo holds, hopper rail cars, areas in and around bulk marine, rail and truck terminals can also be cleaned. Cargo ‘escape’ remains a vexing problem, especially for the cement industry. Air Flail cleaning removes this cement from all surfaces from the road up, stopping its further migration into the water or topsoil.

From our office near the ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach California, our crew continues to improve, adapt, manufacture, assemble, test and ship custom cleaning kits to meet the specific cleaning and maintenance needs of our clients worldwide.

For help with the above or any other cleaning or maintenance needs, please contact us for a free initial consultation.
