Four Polem silos with weighing cabin for a broiler farm

Introduction

Near their own facility, our dutch dealer Versleijen Agri supplied and installed four durable Polem composite feed silos at a broiler farm. A weighing cabin was also installed to organise feed management in a clear and efficient way.

For the auger system connection, the expertise of B.V. Aaltens Constructiebedrijf ACB was brought in. Together, these parties delivered a cleanly executed installation in which storage and transport were perfectly aligned.

Challenges and analysis

The broiler farmer wanted to modernise and automate the feed system. Key priorities included:

• Reliable storage of large quantities of feed
  
• Efficient distribution to the poultry houses
  
• Real-time insight into current stock levels
  

A solution was needed that focused on ease of use, durability, and reliability.

Solution and implementation

Versleijen Agri handled the delivery and professional installation of four Polem silos. These silos are suitable for animal feed storage and are known for their solid construction. The weighing cabin was centrally installed for easy monitoring and control.

ACB took care of the full auger connection. Their skilled professionals ensured a neat and functional setup, transporting feed from the silos directly to where it was needed.

Results

• Fully automated feed delivery thanks to the combination of silos and augers
  
• Clear stock management through the installed weighing cabin
  
• Smooth collaboration between dealer and construction partner
  
• Efficient on-site installation with no unnecessary delays
  

The result is a system that is logical, clear, and functional.

Lessons learned

• Local collaboration between specialists leads to fast and careful execution
  
• Clear communication between farmer, dealer, and contractor avoids misunderstandings
  
• Good preparation is essential for a smooth installation
  

Conclusion

This installation shows how specialised parties can reinforce each other. By placing the right people in the right roles, the broiler farm is now equipped with a future-proof storage and transport system.

The combination of expertise, trusted materials, and short communication lines turned this project into an example of practical efficiency.
