Preparing for winter with Polem

Although winter still seems far away, this is the moment to prepare yourself well. Because when it unexpectedly becomes slippery, you don't want to discover that your salt installation or brine storage falls short. At Polem we are happy to help you be ready in time – with high-quality composite solutions and smart controls.

Composite storage solutions for de-icing

Polem offers a special range of composite silos and tanks for winter service. These are developed for municipalities, contractors and industrial applications where reliability is essential.

You can come to us for:

  • Road salt silos from 30 to 250 m³
  • Mobile salt silos for flexible deployment
  • Composite tanks for salt solution (brine)
  • Salt dissolvers with capacities up to 15,000 liters per hour

Thanks to the excellent insulation properties of composite, the quality of the stored salt or brine is preserved, even with changing temperatures.

Why think about your winter stock right now?

Summer is the moment to examine your storage capacity. Think about:

  • Is your current salt storage still sufficient and safe?
  • Can a (mobile) salt silo reduce the loading time of gritting vehicles?
  • Have you ever considered gritting with brine instead of dry salt?

Did you know that wet gritting – so with a salt/brine mixture – is more effective than dry salt alone?

  • It adheres better to the road surface
  • It is more economical in consumption
  • It is better for the environment
  • And it increases traffic safety

Certainty with the Polem Expert Check

In addition to new storage solutions, we also offer certainty for your existing installations. With an Expert Check (silo inspection) we map the condition of your silo or tank. Especially with salt silos this is of great importance: wear or hairline cracks can lead to leakage or blockage unnoticed.

Our specialized technicians inspect your silo or tank on:

  • Wall thickness and hardness of the composite
  • Wear of filters, ventilation systems and valves
  • Structural weak points or damage
  • Function of explosion panels and components

This way you prevent unplanned downtime and expensive emergency repairs as soon as the first frost strikes.
