Animal feed storage in summer: why composite bulk silos make the difference

The summer months bring not only sunshine and holidays, but also additional challenges for your animal feed storage. Heat, humidity and reduced staffing on the farm can create risks such as heating, caking and quality loss. With a Polem composite bulk silo, you choose maximum security and minimal worries.

Condensation and heating: the summer risks for animal feed

With rising temperatures and fluctuations between day and night, condensation can quickly form in metal silos. The result? Moist animal feed, heating, mold and even spoilage. Composite – or glass fiber reinforced plastic – has excellent insulating properties. This keeps the temperature in a composite silo stable and effectively prevents condensation. Even better: Polem silos are optionally fully insulated and finished without thermal bridges.

Choose hygiene and consistent feed quality

Our plastic silos have a seamless and mirror-smooth inner surface. This prevents feed residues from remaining and makes the silo easy to clean. Thanks to the correct hopper angle and application of vibrating floors, mass flow is possible. That means: first-in, first-out (FIFO). Ideal for compound feeds and fiber-rich products, where consistency is essential.

Less supervision? No problem with a maintenance-friendly silo

During the summer months, there is often less staff present. Your silo must then function trouble-free above all. A composite bulk silo from Polem is resistant to corrosion, UV-resistant and requires hardly any maintenance. Moreover, our silos have an extremely long lifespan and lower operational costs compared to metal variants.

For every agricultural application

Whether you are active in poultry, pig or cattle farming: Polem offers customized animal feed storage. Our composite silos are suitable for a wide range of feed ingredients, from corn and wheat to soy and alfalfa. You choose the configuration yourself: with or without insulation, with level indicators, vibrating floors or other accessories.
