The right flow: why composite silos are preferable
Quality in, quality outEvery grain, every drop. In the world of storage, everything revolves around reliability and quality. Choosing the right type of silo or tank not only determines how well your raw materials are protected, but also directly affects your production process and end result.Since 1972, Polem has been providing storage solutions that are distinguished by three essential properties: seamless, strong and mirror-smooth. Our composite silos and tanks are designed to optimally protect your raw materials and improve your processes.Why composite is the better choiceWhen choosing a material for silos and tanks, each type has its advantages and disadvantages. Yet we confidently choose composite for these reasons:1. Seamless constructionUnlike metal silos, where the transition from cylinder to hopper often presents a problematic edge, a Polem silo offers a smooth, rounded transition. This has two main advantages:Product flows better along the wall, preventing accumulation of materialHygiene problems such as mold and bacterial growth are significantly reduced 2. Mirror-smooth inner wallUnlike metal silos, where the transition from cylinder to hopper often presents a problematic edge, a Polem silo offers a smooth, rounded transition. This has two main advantages:Less chance of bridge formation or “rat-holingEasier and more efficient cleaningBetter hygiene, especially important for food and feed applications3. Optimal thermal insulationComposite silos protect your raw materials from temperature fluctuations and thus from moisture problems. The insulation value of a Polem silo with 50 mm of PU foam is comparable to that of a metal silo insulated with 100 mm of rock wool. This means:Less condensationProtection against extreme temperaturesLower maintenance costs4. Corrosion resistanceUnlike steel or aluminum silos, composite silos are virtually immune to corrosion. This results in:Longer life of your investmentConsistent product quality without contaminationSignificantly lower long-term maintenance costsThe science behind the right flowAt Polem, we use advanced flow profiles. Depending on your product, we choose a funnel angle of 40° (mass flow) or 60° (core flow). This choice is crucial for the optimal processing of your raw materials. For example, for food products such as sugar, salt and starch, we recommend a 40° hopper that provides “First in, First out” (FiFo) flow - essential for perishable products. For abrasive raw materials such as fertilizer or cement, a 60° hopper is often optimal, minimizing wear and ensuring longer life.It's not a silo or tank. It's a Polem.Our focus on quality is reflected in every aspect of our products. From the carefully chosen materials to the thoughtful design of each component. The good name we've built up over 50 years is no accident - it's the result of consistent craftsmanship and attention to detail.Want to know what a Polem silo or tank can do for your production process? Get in touch with our market specialists. They will be happy to advise you on the optimal storage solution for your specific raw materials.Discover for yourself the difference the right flow can make: quality in, quality out.

Efficient activated carbon storage: discover the advantages of Polem composite silos
Activated carbon plays a crucial role in water treatment, air filtration and chemical processes. But its storage can be challenging. This adsorbent is susceptible to moisture, dust accumulation and even ignition. Inappropriate storage can lead to loss of quality and inefficiency, something you naturally want to avoid.The ideal storage solutionPolem offers the ideal solution with its advanced composite silos. Whereas traditional metal silos are prone to corrosion and condensation, our silos offer a safe, low-maintenance and extremely durable storage method. The unique properties of composite keep your materials in optimal condition, without the risks of rust or moisture problems. Our silos are not only strong and durable, but also flexible in design. They can be customized to meet your specific storage needs, including unloading facilities and aeration systems. In addition, the smooth-finished interior walls reduce material accumulation, making cleaning easier and minimizing downtime.Seamless, strong and mirror smoothA key advantage of our composite silos is their seamless construction. At Polem, we strive to make the transition from hopper to cylinder as smooth as possible. This ensures improved product flow where activated carbon flows better along the wall, without accumulation in kinks or corners. This is essential for a product like activated carbon, which can easily accumulate in uneven areas due to its powdery structure. The mirror-smooth inner walls of our silos prevent activated carbon from adhering to the walls, resulting in optimal product flow and minimal material loss. In addition, this reduces the risk of dust accumulation, which can lead to self-ignition in activated carbon.Optimal protection against moistureFor activated carbon storage, moisture control is crucial. Moisture significantly reduces the adsorption capacity of activated carbon, which limits its effectiveness in filtration processes. Polem composite silos offer superior protection against moisture by:Thermal insulation: Composite naturally has insulating properties that minimize temperature fluctuations and prevent condensation.Air drying systems: Our silos can be equipped with advanced air dryers that regulate the moisture content in the silo.Seamless construction: No cold bridges or gaps where moisture can penetrate or condense.Safety firstThe storage of activated carbon poses specific safety risks, including the potential for dust explosions. Therefore, our silos can be equipped with:Explosion panels: Strategically placed to safely vent pressure in the event of a dust explosion.Pressure release systems: Prevent overpressure in the silo during filling and unloading.Advanced grounding systems: Safely dissipate static electricity, a major ignition source in dust explosions.Polem's convex silo roofs offer improved resistance to under- and overpressure and can be designed for a P-red of 1.0 bar, essential for the safe storage of dust-explosive products such as activated carbon.Durability and cost efficiencyIn addition to their functional benefits, composite silos contribute to more sustainable operations. Less maintenance and longer service life result in lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact. This makes them not only a practical, but also a responsible investment. By increasing the shelf life of your activated carbon thanks to optimal storage conditions, you also reduce the consumption of this valuable material. The efficient emptying of our silos ensures that minimal product is left behind, contributing to higher cost efficiency.Broad applicability in various industriesActivated carbon is used in a variety of industries. From the filtration of drinking and wastewater to the purification of air and chemical processes -- reliable storage is essential for an efficient production process. Our silos are widely applicable and guarantee safe and efficient storage for various applications in water treatment, air filtration, food industry, pharmaceutical and environmental technology. With decades of experience in composite silo solutions, Polem is your reliable partner in storage. We provide customized solutions that make your storage more efficient, safe and sustainable.Expert Check for optimal performanceTo optimize the performance of your activated carbon storage system, we offer the Polem Expert Check. This service includes an annual inspection by our specialists, during which:The condition of the silo is checkedVenting systems are checkedWall thicknesses are measured to monitor wear and tearAny adjustments are advisedThese preventive measures ensure that your storage system remains in optimal condition and that the quality of your activated carbon is not compromised.Are you ready for optimal storage?Are you ready to optimize your storage processes?
