bolted silo

The bolted silo can be used outside or in-plant bulk storage. Another storage product that has risen to the top in field performance are the hybrid silo designs, which interface the best features of field-weld, bolted RTP, shop-weld and concrete construction into a hybrid storage product. The RTP and hybrid silo designs are the top rated steel storage products available in the cement industry today.


Design Considerations

In specifying a cement storage silo, the following items warrant review and consideration on every project:

  • Materials of construction
  • Silo capacity requirements
  • Volume & design product weights
  • Fill & discharge system interface
  • Dust collection system – fill & discharge
  • Silo design parameters
  • Inventory management
  • Control system requirements
  • Other special considerations (project specific)
