Optimal storage solutions for complex liquids and moisture-sensitive materials

Every grain, every drop. Quality in, quality out.

When it comes to storing complex liquids or moisture-sensitive solid materials, every detail matters. Polem eliminates risks. No compromises in quality.

At Polem, we set the bar higher than standard. Premium means that each silo and tank meets our own strict standards, not just the general requirements. For more than 50 years, Polem has been delivering high-quality, seamless storage solutions that work. Always.

The challenges of complex storage

With sensitive products, it's all about control. Without the right storage construction, you'll face:

  • Condensation due to temperature fluctuations
  • Clumping or separation of products
  • Moisture absorption and quality loss
  • Difficult discharge or blockages

These problems lead to downtime, waste, and frustration. Polem prevents this.

Why composite?

A Polem silo or tank is seamless, strong, and mirror-smooth – made from high-quality GRP composite. There are good reasons we deliberately choose this material:

  • Corrosion-resistant – even with aggressive or moist contents
  • Insulating – prevents condensation and temperature peaks
  • Low maintenance – no coating or periodic painting required
  • Hygienic – easy to clean, suitable for food, feed, and chemicals

For high-viscosity liquids

Some liquids solidify or become too thick at low temperatures. Think of molasses, fats, or glycerin. Polem offers various solutions:

  • Hot water circuit – for uniform heating via spiral tubes
  • Electric tracing – heats the bottom of the silo or tank
  • Immersion heaters – direct heating inside the tank, with temperature zone control

For moisture-sensitive solids

Products such as sugar, salt, or starch quickly attract moisture. With an air dryer, you can prevent this:

  • Connected to the filling pipe
  • Dry air prevents condensation in pipes and silo
  • Product and dust filter remain dry and clean
