In winter, every minute counts. Roads, cycle paths and business parks must remain safe. Reliable salt storage is therefore essential. However, traditional solutions such as steel tanks or silos cause problems in the long term: corrosion, high maintenance costs and failures at crucial moments.
With Polem composite tanks, you prevent these risks. Our tanks are designed for sustainable salt storage and offer the ideal solution for modern de-icing operations.
Why more and more municipalities and road authorities choose composite
Composite (glass fiber reinforced plastic, GRP) is the material for future-oriented storage. It is seamless, strong, mirror-smooth and immune to corrosion. Perfect for storing brine and road salt.
Moreover, our tanks have naturally excellent insulating properties. This keeps the spreading material in optimal condition, without condensation or freezing risks. This ensures your inventory is always ready for use — essential during peak winter periods.
Key advantages:
- Resistant to corrosion
- Minimal risk of condensation and freezing
- Long service life with minimal maintenance costs
- Lightweight: simple and fast installation
- Optimal product flow, even at low temperatures
- Efficient deployment of gritting vehicles, without blockages
Technical specifications that make the difference
Salt dissolvers: proven technology for brine production Polem supplies complete salt dissolution systems that produce brine of consistent quality. These installations were developed in collaboration with Akzo Zout Nederland B.V.
Technical characteristics of our salt dissolvers:
✅ Brine concentration of 23.3% (standard NaCl brine)
✅ Practical delivery of 300 grams of salt per liter (± 25% brine)
✅ Filter bottom with 3-layer gravel system for pure brine
Mobile versus fixed solutions
Flexibility where you need it If a fixed silo solution at your location is not an option due to inspection regulations, Polem can also supply you with a mobile silo. These do not need to be placed on a concrete foundation, providing extra flexibility for various applications.
Preventive maintenance for maximum reliability
Polem Expert Check for winter services With our Expert Check service, certified technicians carry out annual inspections. We check wall thickness with special measuring equipment and assess the hardness of the GRP material. You receive a comprehensive report with photos and recommendations.
This prevents unexpected repairs during critical winter periods.
The impact on your daily practice
With a Polem composite tank, your de-icing operations run smoothly. No downtime due to unexpected repairs. No quality loss of brine or salt. No unnecessary cleaning times or expensive maintenance sessions.
In addition, you significantly reduce the total cost of ownership. The investment in a composite tank pays for itself through years of worry-free use.
Proven sustainability
Environmentally friendly properties
- Brine adheres better to the road surface than dry salt
- Faster thawing action because it doesn't need to dissolve first
- Less material ends up in verges or the environment
- Precise dosing possible for efficient salt use
