FS Construction Services efficient grain storage

Project Profile: Efficient Grain Storage Hopper

Here at FS Construction Services, we spend a lot of time on farms and around farmers, and one of those unavoidable farming realities is that it just takes a lot of equipment to get the job done. It’s a bit of an I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly situation. You need specific equipment to plant the seeds, specific equipment to harvest the grain, specific equipment to store the grain, and bits and pieces in between to transfer, carry, and dry it all. Each step in the process requires some additional step down the line and so on. And while we wish there was some magical machine to take care of efficient grain storage in one swoop, that’s just not how it goes.

 

FS Construction Services Efficient Grain Storage

 

Thankfully, when you find yourself in need of that next piece of grain system equipment to get the job done, we’ve got you covered. This was the case for a recent client of ours who needed a surge tank to increase the speed and efficiency of their drying system.

Nathan Koester and his team stepped in and built a 24’ in diameter, 7-ring tall Brock hopper bin. This bin not only has a capacity of 10,200 bushels, but our team also installed four inline centrifugal fans to improve aeration in the bin, preserving the life of the grain.

This new system fit nicely into our client’s current setup and will provide them some additional coverage and function for the coming year.

If you are looking to expand your current setup, or you need to upgrade or add a new crucial grain storage, drying, or handling piece, please let Gateway FS Construction Services know.
