How do I maintain the quality of my product during storage?
The excellent insulation value of GRP keeps the temperature stable and prevents condensation. The seamless construction prevents contamination, and the FIFO property at 40° funnel ensures that the product is not stored for too long.
Do Polem silos and tanks meet food safety requirements?
Yes, we only use FDA-approved resins that have been tested in accordance with EU1935/2004 for contact with both dry and liquid foodstuffs. Our products are food safe, tested, and certified.
What if my silo or tank is damaged?
Our service team can repair most damage on site to restore it to its original strength. Thanks to the flexibility of GRP, local repairs can be carried out without replacing the entire structure.
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 does Polem ensure that the storage tanks meet hygiene standards?
Our tanks are made of corrosion-resistant material, a composite material. In addition, we can apply special coatings and treatments to extend the life of the tanks.
