What is a Silo Bolt (Encapsulated Bolt)?
Silo bolts are widely used in silos and agricultural buildings. The products require stability and long-term usability. Therefore, to withstand environments such as harsh weather conditions, reduce corrosion, and prevent pest intrusion, the strength and surface treatment of the bolts must meet certain standards as well as users' expectations. As a result, the most commonly chosen surface treatments in the market are hot-dip galvanizing or, to a lesser extent, zinc-nickel alloys. These treatments extend the lifespan of the bolts and provide excellent corrosion resistance.
Depending on specific applications, such as requirements for water quality, we select materials that are both waterproof and food-safe, such as MARLEX HXM50100. This ensures that the bolts not only maintain high strength and durability but also comply with safety and environmental standards, providing reliable performance in sensitive environments.
