Specialist support for your silos and tanks
At Polem, it’s all about the right flow. Our comprehensive services are carefully designed to guarantee optimal performance of your silos and storage tanks—from the initial consultation to installation, inspection, and ongoing service.

Each project includes a dedicated project manager as your main contact. This person coordinates activities and ensures smooth communication between all parties involved, so your silo or tank is delivered and operational on time and according to specification.

Frequently asked questions
Services
Do you also offer technical advice?
Certainly, our market specialists and engineers provide advice on product selection, capacity calculations, product flow, safety aspects, and process optimization.
How long does an average installation take?
For a standard agricultural silo: 0.5-1 day. For more complex industrial installations with many connections: 1-3 days. We plan this in advance in consultation with you.
Can you also take care of installation?

How are large silos transported?
We deliver silos with a diameter of up to 9 meters in one piece. Where possible, we do this by inland waterway or by special road transport.
