Getting to Know Your Silo Containers
Silo containers are designed to help keep your food fresher for longer with their innovative, vacuum-sealing features and high-quality, sustainable materials. Here’s everything you need to know about each part of the container, its durable construction, and its unique vacuum-sealing design.
Container Parts Overview
Each Silo container is made up of different parts that work seamlessly together to create an airtight seal, extending the shelf life of your food. Here's a closer look at each component:
- Splatter Cap: Controls the release of vacuum pressure by preventing air from rushing in a direct stream (that could scatter particles and liquids).
- Upper Seal: This component ensures the lid has a tight, airtight lock to preserve the vacuum and keep your food fresh.
- Air Port: The point where air is extracted during the vacuuming process.
- Air Tunnel: Channels the air out of the container.
- Lower Seal: Provides a seal between the silo device and the container during the vacuum process.
- Vacuum Indicator: Displays when a proper vacuum seal has been achieved, so you know your container is vacuumed and securely sealed.
- Lid Rocker: A small lever designed for quickly and easily releasing the vacuum. With a simple press, you can open the container, complete with that satisfying whoosh of air rushing back in.
Durability and Safe Materials
Silo containers are made with Tritan™ Renew, a high-quality, BPA-free material designed for safe, everyday use:
- BPA-Free: Made from FDA-approved materials with no harmful chemicals.
- Highly Durable: These containers are built for longevity and repeated use without sacrificing integrity.
- Microwave Safe: Quickly reheat your leftovers in the same container (but remember to release the vacuum first).
