Getting to Know Your Silo Containers

4 min read read

Silo containers are designed to help keep your food fresher for longer using innovative vacuum-sealing technology and high-quality materials.

This guide explains the different parts of the container, the materials used, and the design features that make Silo containers unique.

Container Parts Overview

Each Silo container is made up of multiple components that work together to create a reliable airtight seal.

  • Splatter Cap — Controls the release of vacuum pressure and prevents air from rushing into the container too quickly.
  • Upper Seal — Ensures the lid creates a tight airtight seal to preserve the vacuum.
  • Air Port — The location where air is extracted during the vacuuming process.
  • Air Tunnel — Channels air out of the container during sealing.
  • Lower Seal — Creates a seal between the Silo base and the container during vacuuming.
  • Vacuum Indicator — Shows when a proper vacuum seal has been achieved.
  • Lid Rocker — A lever used to quickly release the vacuum and open the container.

Durability and Safe Materials

Silo containers are made using Tritan™, a high-quality BPA-free material designed for safe everyday use.

  • BPA-Free — Manufactured from FDA-approved materials with no harmful chemicals.
  • Highly Durable — Built for repeated everyday use without losing structural integrity.
  • Microwave Safe — Food can be reheated directly in the container after releasing the vacuum.
  • Dishwasher Safe — Containers and parts can be cleaned easily in the dishwasher.
  • Freezer Safe — Suitable for storing food in the freezer without cracking or warping.
  • Leakproof — Keeps liquids such as soups or sauces securely sealed.

Thoughtful Design for Everyday Food Storage

Silo containers are engineered to vacuum-seal a wide range of foods, including liquids and small particles.

  • Vacuum From the Bottom — Air is removed from the bottom of the container, allowing liquids and powders to be vacuum sealed without clogging.
  • No Tubes Required — Simply place the container on the Silo base and the device will automatically vacuum-seal it.
  • Handles Many Food Types — Works well with delicate foods like berries as well as powders like coffee or spices.

Why Silo Containers Stand Out

Silo containers combine durability, smart engineering, and ease of use to improve how food is stored in your kitchen.

Their patented vacuum design helps keep food fresher for longer, reduces waste, and works equally well with liquids, solids, and powders.

Whether you're storing leftovers, soups, spices, or fresh ingredients, Silo containers are designed to keep your food fresh and organized.
