For various industries, such as the food industry, the agricultural sector, and the chemical industry, silos and tanks are essential components. With advancements in technologies, composite silos and tanks have emerged as a viable option. Food safety Composite silos and tanks offer a high level of food safety. They are made of materials that do not corrode, oxidize, or react with food, thus preserving the integrity and quality of the stored food. Hygiene Silo’s and tanks made of composite are easy to clean and maintain. The smooth surface minimizes the retention of food residues, bacteria, and molds, thereby reducing the risk of contamination significantly. The hygienic design and smooth interior wall ensure the important principle of first-in-first-out in silos. Insulation properties Composite silos and tanks offer superior insulation properties compared to metal silos and tanks. Composite naturally has low thermal conductivity, ensuring that the contents are protected against temperature variations. This allows for excellent control over the temperature of the stored product. This is particularly important for preserving freshness, flow properties, and the overall quality of the products.

Do you want to store solid or liquid food-based bulk products, animal feed, road salt or other powdered or granulate bulk materials and goods in a tank or silo? Then choose a composite solution. Composite offers clear advantages over traditional materials such as concrete, aluminium, steel and stainless steel. Because composite has excellent properties. Advantages of composite * optimal hygiene and excellent outflow properties * excellent resistance to corrosion and (aggressive)chemicals * very smooth and seamless interior walls, minimising product adhesion * high insulation value, so minimal condensation * no bridging * suitable for both indoors and outdoors use * extremely quick and easy to clean * designed for the ‘First-In-First-Out’ principle * lighter and many times stronger than steel * extremely suitable for the storage of dust explosive products in an ATEX environment * very short installation time because composite silos are produced and transported in one piece * short ROI thanks to an extremely long life span and minimal on-site costs. Benefits for your company Would you like to know what these advantages mean for you

Also for storage feed stuffs, Polem always offers a suitable solution, with composite silos and tanks in diameters of up to 9.0 metres and capacities up to 1,500m³. Like the composite silos, the horizontal or vertical composite tanks are also ideal when you want to store your liquids hygienically. After all, these composite tanks also have a seamless, smooth interior, which means they can always be emptied with almost no residue. In addition, they are very resistant to chemicals, are corrosion-resistant, are effective at temperatures from -40 to +100 ºC and are very durable, which in turn means a favourable price-quality ratio. Needless to say, under certain conditions extra insulation or heating may be required to keep the stored products at the desired temperature. Or do you want to include other options such as cage ladders, top rail, work platforms, transfer platforms or special agitators? Polem can help you. With composite tanks in diameters of up to 9.0 metres and capacities up to 1,500m³.

Polem has introduced the Tank Configurator to complement the Silo Configurator. A handy tool to quickly get a quote for your silo (solids) or tank (liquids). Polem previously launched the silo configurator: a handy tool with which you can quickly request and receive a budget quotation for your silo. Now there is also a configurator for tanks, for liquids. In addition to silos, Polem has been supplying tanks for the storage of liquid products, fats, chemicals and sauces for years. These products can be stored very well in a composite tank. Polem produces tanks up to 9 meters in diameter and a storage capacity up to 1,500 m³. Not sure whether your product is suitable for storage in a composite tank?
