Its approach stands out for the careful choice of specific materials, ensuring that its loading arms comply with current regulations and meet the sector’s requirements.

Strategic material selection

One of the key aspects is the careful selection of materials and components used in its loading arms. Beyond the mandatory transition from cast iron to stainless steel to
comply with regulations, Silea has focused its attention on the materials used for seals, gaskets, and consumables such as the grease applied inside the arm joints. These
elements play a crucial role in preventing any contamination of the transferred food fluids, ensuring maximum safety and hygiene.

Careful supplier selection

Silea pays great attention to supplier selection, choosing partners capable of providing certified products that comply with industry regulations. Some suppliers have a long-standing relationship with Silea, while others have been specifically selected for food applications, ensuring that every component installed on the loading arms meets
the required standards, such as FDA certification.

Turning experience into new solutions

The experience gained in the Oil&Gas sector has enabled Silea to introduce customized and technologically advanced solutions to the food industry. Among the key innovations transferred are electrical tracing and insulation, essential for maintaining specific temperatures during the transfer of products such as chocolate or palm oil. Additionally, Silea has implemented advanced control systems, including indicators and sensors commonly used in its reference sector, ensuring continuous and reliable process monitoring.

Future prospects

Thanks to this rigorous and quality-driven approach, Silea has established long-term relationships with leading global companies in the food industry. The success of these collaborations and the trust built over time confirm the company's reliability and expertise. Looking ahead, Silea aims to further strengthen its presence in the food
industry by expanding beyond national borders. The quality of its products, strict compliance with regulations, and a tailored approach to customer needs serve as the foundation for new growth and consolidation opportunities on a global scale.
