FAQ
Where do we build your silo tank? How does the silo transport work?
We produce tanks that can store up to 15 000 m3. Our silos are manufactured in the production hall in Lopik, The Netherlands, and our production hall in Groot-Ammers is directly connected to the river, where tanks can also be shipped directly. If transport is difficult or impossible, we can also build stainless steel storage tanks directly on site.
Which stainless steel grade do I need for my silo tank?
That depends on your product and process conditions. For most food, dairy and water applications, stainless steel 304(L) or 316(L) is suitable. For aggressive products or chemicals, duplex or super duplex may be required. Our engineers advise you on the right grade for your application.
