Polem’s Summer Hit: First-In-First-Out
Just like your favorite summer playlist, every silo has its own rhythm. And we know exactly which 'beat' works best for your product.
Why mass flow has the perfect summer vibe
The sun is shining, temperatures are rising, and just as you enjoy a refreshing flow on your terrace, your product in the silo deserves the same smooth treatment. In summer, everything is about flow – and that certainly applies to your storage systems.
At Polem, we're big fans of mass flow. Why? Because it's as reliable as your favorite summer hit: it always works, it makes you feel good, and you want it again and again.
First-in-first-out: the golden rule of smart storage
Picture this: you have a refrigerator full of fresh summer fruits. What do you do? Naturally, you use the oldest fruits first before they spoil. Exactly the same principle applies to your silo with mass flow.
First-in-first-out means:
- The product that enters the silo first also comes out first
- No 'forgotten corners' where product remains stationary
- Always fresh quality, like a cooling lemonade on a hot day
With mass flow, the entire product moves uniformly downward. Just like guests queuing politely for the swimming pool – everyone gets their turn, no pushing, no chaos.
Why your flour and powder love this approach
Cleaner than a spotless swimming pool
Mass flow creates a natural self-cleaning effect. The continuous movement of the product prevents residues from remaining in corners and seams. Your silo stays as fresh as a summer breeze.
Reduced risk of clumping
Just as you want to avoid lumps in your iced tea, mass flow prevents your flour or powder from caking. The uniform flow ensures everything stays beautifully loose – exactly as it should be.
Efficiency that makes you sing
With mass flow, you can be sure your product flows smoothly out of the silo. No blockages, no manual assistance needed – just pure, smooth flow. Perfect for when you want to enjoy your summer vacation without worrying about your production process.
The secret is in the angle
Not all silos are built the same. At Polem, we make the difference with our 40° hopper angle. This seemingly small technical choice has major consequences:
- 40° → Perfect for flour, powder, sugar, and other food products
- 60° → Better suited for abrasive products like fertilizer
It's like choosing the right swim ring for your children – it seems like a detail, but it makes the difference between fun and problems.
The Polem promise: no summer slump in your process
While others might experience a summer slump, we ensure your production process keeps running at full capacity. Our silos with mass flow offer:
- Constant flow - No interruptions, no stress

Every grain, every drop counts at Polem. We ensure your product gets the treatment it deserves – first-in-first-out, day in, day out.
