In sectors where hygiene is crucial, every detail matters. Whether it's storing raw materials in the food industry or in the animal feed chain: a clean silo is essential for quality and safety.
At Polem, we understand that. That's why we manufacture silos and tanks from composite. Not only strong and durable, but above all: easy to clean.
Smooth inside. Clean by itself.
What makes composite so suitable for applications where hygiene is important? Simple: the inner wall of our silos is seamless and mirror-smooth. As a result, much less product remains in the silo. Residues that can stick to other materials simply slide down here.
- Less dirt buildup
- No seams or gaps
- Faster cleaning
- Reduced water and detergent usage
- Shorter downtime.
Simplicity pays – literally
Less downtime = more profit
Every minute of cleaning is a minute that your process is down. In food and feed, those minutes add up. Thanks to the smooth wall structure of composite silos, you save up to 60% on cleaning time compared to steel or stainless steel (without special coatings). And that means:
- More productive hours
- Lower cleaning costs
- Less chance of contamination or product loss
How to clean a composite silo
Depending on the industry and the stored product, there are different cleaning methods. Fortunately, composite is compatible with most common techniques:
- Dry cleaning (e.g., with brushes or air): fast, efficient and sufficient for dry substances like flour, grain or powder
- Wet cleaning (high pressure or foam cleaning): suitable for applications with higher hygiene requirements
- CIP (Cleaning in Place): for automated plants, composite is highly resistant to detergents and temperatures
