Custom silos and tanks: why one size doesn't fit all
Every industry, every application, and every product is different. So why should your silo or tank be standard? At Polem, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether it's salt, starch, milk powder, or biogas: we design and build every silo or tank to measure. Precisely tailored to your situation, your product, and your process.
Custom solutions as our foundation: from drawing to delivery
From the first sketch to the last bolt. Everything starts with your requirements. Our composite silos and tanks are available in any size up to 1,500 m³, in any RAL color, with or without insulation, suitable for ATEX environments, with specific discharge systems, or equipped with integrated platforms and level indicators.
Why custom solutions for silos and tanks?
Because a wrong connection, uneven filling, or poorly flowing product costs a lot of money. And because the right flow isn't coincidence, but the result of smart choices. That's why at Polem we make silos and tanks that truly fit. Functional, safe, and sustainable.
Every grain, every drop counts. Premium quality means uncompromising quality to us. In our production hall, you see the craftsmanship. The attention to every detail makes the difference for customers.
Composite makes custom solutions possible
Composite is our material. Because it's lighter than steel, insulates better, doesn't corrode, and can be processed seamlessly. This enables us to create strong, low-maintenance storage solutions that last for decades – and effortlessly grow with your production.
The advantages of composite custom solutions:
- Seamless and mirror-smooth - For optimal product flow and minimal residue
- Corrosion-resistant - Resistant to aggressive substances and environments
- Superior insulation - Protects against condensation and temperature differences
- Food-safe - Meets the strictest standards (EU1935/2004)
- Low-maintenance - Less downtime, lower costs
- Fast installation - Ready to use immediately, minimal downtime
Custom solutions per sector: each market segment requires specific knowledge
