Innovation in industrial storage: how composite silos and tanks transform your business process
At the heart of every efficient production facility lies a crucial but often underestimated component: the storage solution. While advanced machines and technology typically get all the attention, it's the high-performance composite silos and tanks that act as silent forces ensuring the continuity of your business processes.
The hidden foundation of industrial success
We understand that our storage systems are usually not the first eye-catcher in your facility. Positioned on the outside, between buildings or on the roof, they nevertheless form the foundation of your production chain – the reliable guardians of your valuable raw materials.
The true value of premium storage solutions often only becomes visible when suboptimal systems fail. Leaks, product loss, or contamination can paralyze your entire production line and lead to significant financial damage and loss of reputation.
High-quality composite silos: more than just storage
A composite silo or tank functions as a strategic business system that:
- Guarantees consistent product quality by protecting against external influences
- Increases process efficiency with reliable and predictable material flow
- Promotes operational continuity through minimal maintenance requirements
- Exceeds safety standards for both products and personnel
Superior product flow: the distinguishing advantage
Conversations with industrial customers reveal that the most valued characteristic of our storage systems is the unparalleled flow reliability. For powders, granulates, and liquids alike: the product must exit the silo in the same condition as it entered, exactly when your production process requires it.
Composite technology: the revolution in industrial storage systems
While conventional materials such as steel and concrete are still being used, advanced composite technology has brought about a revolution in the industrial storage world. The unique material properties make composite ideal for modern production companies that prioritize sustainability and maintenance efficiency:
- Seamless construction and mirror-smooth walls: optimal material flow without contamination risks
- Complete corrosion resistance: no degradation, even with chemically aggressive substances
- Superior thermal insulation: effective protection against temperature fluctuations
- Optimal strength-to-weight ratio: easier installation without compromising durability
Strategic investment with proven ROI
A high-quality storage system represents a strategic investment in your business continuity and product quality. With an initial investment comparable to alternative solutions, a Total Cost of Ownership analysis shows the convincing long-term advantage:
✅ Minimal lifecycle maintenance costs
✅ Significantly longer operational lifespan
✅ Reduced production loss through superior flow characteristics
✅ Increased returns due to consistent product quality
Proven applications in various sectors
Our composite silos and tanks prove their value daily in diverse industries. At FrieslandCampina in Lochem, a 600 m³ tank ensures effective wastewater management, while the Waalkens brothers rely on our tanks for the reliable storage of liquid fertilizer.
In the food industry, our silos ensure safe storage of ingredients such as sugar, salt, and starch, while soy producers rely on our tanks for specific processes in their soy sauce production.
It's not a silo or tank. It's a Polem
In an industrial environment where process reliability is essential, we offer the certainty of premium storage systems. Not just a silo or tank, but an integrated solution that supports your company in delivering consistent quality – day after day.
