This time-saving grain system project provided our client with a great opportunity to become more efficient and save money this harvest.
We installed a 7,500 bushel per hour receiving pit and a 12” double run to transfer that grain to a wet tank, allowing the client to quickly dump their yield and get back out to harvesting in no time. Read more about it on the blog.
When working with our clients to create efficient grain storage solutions, we are sure to keep cost in mind.
Nathan Koester and his team recently paired cost savings with innovation to produce a grain storage solution that will stand the test of time, while staying within budget.
This project included a 30-foot-diameter, 7-ring tall grain storage bin with a capacity of 16,300 bushels. To provide additional protection against pests and water, thus increasing efficiency and longevity, the bin was built on a taller foundation.
The team then installed a horizontal unload that provides easier access and maintenance. As a cost-effective alternative to stairs, they used an exterior ladder, adding a cage to maintain a degree of safety. And they installed an Axial fan for aeration, using a hanging kit to keep it secure and protected.
These individual decisions and hacks came together to equal a cost-effective and efficient grain storage solution that is likely to last a bit longer and go a bit further.
For the client, this means additional budget for other needs around the farm.
But they still have peace of mind. They know their hard-earned yields will be protected by a grain storage solution created just for them.
We recently took on the task of constructing and connecting multiple pieces of storage and transfer equipment to ensure our client had a smooth, dependable grain setup.
This intricate grain storage system involved a 30 foot in diameter, 12-ring tall grain bin to act as a surge tank for greater speed and efficiency. It also included a 100-foot 10” Sukup double run to fill the surge tank and a 60-foot double run to get the wet grain over to the drying bin. Additionally, a receiving pit system with a capacity of 650 bushels was installed for quick unloading.
This project was completed just in time for harvest and featured a 48’ in diameter, 12-ring tall grain bin with a capacity of 72,000 bushels. It also featured a paddle sweep, a 10” unload, two 15hp fans, and exterior stairs. Additionally, we built a 110’ tall leg tower.
Sometimes all you need for peace of mind is a good plan. We were able to provide this in the form of a 18’ diameter, 7-ring tall storage bin with a capacity of 4,000 bushels. This surge tank, complete with two fans, will allow our client some overflow space should they ever need to hang on to their grain a little longer.
This project provided our client with the fundamentals needed for a successful operation. This included a 42’ diameter grain bin with a capacity of 28,900 bushels. Additionally, our team added exterior stairs, a centrifugal fan, and a powersweep.
This past winter, our team took advantage of the warm, dry days and built a 36 ft. diameter, 7-ring tall grain bin with a capacity of 21,000 bushels. They also installed exterior stairs, a horizontal power sweep, and a centrifugal fan.
Earlier this year we took advantage of the dry weather and quickly constructed a 30’ diameter, 6-ring tall, grain bin. This structure had a capacity of 14,000 bushels and came with two down augers, a power sweep, and an exterior staircase.
This project was finished just in time for the year’s harvest. We installed a 21’, 5-ring tall hopper bin with a 6,950 bushel capacity. We also added a fan for aeration and a twin hopper gate.
Last summer we built a 42’ diameter, 7-ring grain bin with a bushel capacity of 33,000. Additionally, we installed an axial fan, a roof vent, a power sweep, and exterior stairs.
