Our Composite Silos

Composite does not rust or corrode like steel and other metals. It is impervious to water, vapours and gases and is resistant to most chemicals. Where necessary, different types of liners are available, which can make the composite tank resistant to the full range of aggressive chemicals.

Composite is about 40% lighter than steel but is many times stronger. The glass resin ratio produces a light material, which has extremely high stiffness and tensile strength and is capable of withstanding high impact weights. Moreover, the lighter weight considerably reduces the transport and installation costs. We make the tank or silo in our factory complete, so that the installation time can stay very short.

Because composite does not rust, the tanks or silos in composite need hardly any maintenance, apart from conventional cleaning. Thanks to their UV resistant coating, the tanks and silos also do not require periodic painting and withstand the effects of the weather well.

In contrast to steel, thanks to its advanced elastic properties, composite returns to its original shape following impact. Tests have shown that composite resists a greater, blunt, impact without lasting deformation.

Composite is light so that a simple crane truck is usually sufficient for unloading and siting. This can save on transport and installation costs considerably. Furthermore, composite requires no specialist cutting and welding equipment and can usually be installed using basic tools. The installation time is short because everything is pre-installed in the factory.

The high thermal insulation value makes composite silos less sensitive to condensation forming on the inner or outer wall. This means that foodstuffs and animal feed will not tend to rot and that building materials like cement will not harden and become lumpy in the silo. This guarantees product quality and perfect product outflow.

Wherever moisture and condensation affect the product, we have additional solutions to prevent moisture forming.
