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.
