Chaining multiple output silos?

Hi. I have not been able to find a conclusive answer to this on google, and wanted to check here before trying it out in game.

Lets say I have a Gallente Large Tower, running a Fullerides reaction. Two input silos (with Platinum Technite and Carbon Polymers) feed into a Complex Reactor Array, which then feeds into an output silo. The reaction produces 3000 units @ .15 m3 each, or 450m3 per hour. The output silo has a capacity of 40k, which means I have to empty the silos every 88.8 hours or 3.7 days.

Is it possible to chain additional output silo(s) to the pipeline? This way, with 2 silos on a Gallente tower, I would have to empty the silos once a week (or longer if it is possible to chain multiple output silos).

Or, is there any other, better way to increase the amount of time between emptying silos (besides using Gallente towers)?

Yep. You can chain 2 or more silos together.

It seems to work something like the bellow example.



Silo 1 \
. -----Complex reactor array -------> Silo 3 (output) ------>Silo 4 (output )
Silo 2 /
