How often should I have my silo or tank inspected?
We recommend performing a visual inspection yourself every month and having a professional Polem Expert Check carried out every 3 to 5 years. This prevents unexpectedly high repair costs and extends the service life of your silo or tank. The recommended frequency depends on various factors: the type of medium you store, how intensively the silo or tank is used, and how often it is filled and emptied. For daily or heavy use, we recommend having inspections carried out more frequently — for example, a professional check every year. For less intensive use, the interval can be longer. Regular checks ensure that your installation remains safe, reliable, and in optimal condition.
How can I prevent bridging in my silo?
Bridging can be largely prevented by using the correct hopper angle and smooth inner wall. For products that are difficult to flow, we can integrate a vibrating bottom.
Can Polem silos and tanks be placed outdoors?
Yes, GRP is weatherproof. UV-resistant, frost- and heat-resistant. No rust, no painting required. The good insulation value (λ = 0.17 W/m·K) prevents condensation.
How do I determine the right capacity for my feed silo?
The capacity depends on your feed consumption, delivery frequency, and available space. As a rule of thumb, for 100 dairy cows, you should calculate approximately 80-120 m³ for a period of 3-4 weeks. Our specialists will be happy to advise you on the optimal dimensions.
If I need a loose part for a silo, can Polem help me with this?
Yes, we can provide you with spare parts for your silos. Please contact our after sales department with the specifications of the part you need, and we will help you find the right solution.
