Hermetic Steel Silo
The superiority of this type of silo compared to others can be explained in three ways: Steel construction with vitrified coating. Most conventional silos made of concrete, galvanized steel or other materials undergo the onslaught of acids resulting from fermentation. Even those coated with epoxy resin, gunite or similar products receive only temporary protection. The vitrified steel tower silo proposed by Silo JM Lambert inc. is acid-proof by a process of permanently adhering a layer of true molten glass on each of its faces. The impermeability thus obtained is easily resistant to fermentation acids and weathering. Even after years of use, this type of vitrified steel tower will never need new interior or exterior cladding.

Low Oxygen Atmosphere
The main characteristic of this type of vitrified silo is its ability to minimize the contact between air and the food stored there. Oxygen is the enemy of wet foods, causing them both visible decomposition and loss of nutritional value. In conventional silos, this problem is addressed by storing more moist products to take advantage of the settlement. Unfortunately, this method brings its share of disadvantages.
The flow of juices for the production of less palatable foods does not promote a good intake of dry matter by livestock. In the vitrified steel tower silo, pressure compensating bags limit decomposition by restricting oxygen intake; the harvest, ensiled at medium humidity, will give a tasty food favoring the ingestion of dry matter by the animals.
The grains are stored whole at their normal water content at the time of harvest, between 22 and 28% moisture. Storage at medium humidity also eliminates the problem of frost in winter.
Silage from the Top, Taken from Below
The hermetic system of the vitrified tower silo is designed to fill and empty all year long. Silage is done at the top and unloading at the bottom. This is an important feature in the case of forage, as it is always the product that has been in the longest tower that is first used. It's as if you have a continuous conditioning 'factory' that distributes an equal amount of tasty fermented foods daily. A single vitreous steel silo therefore has a higher yield than several different types of storage buildings, in addition to reducing human intervention significantly.
