FS Construction Services grain bin project in winter

Winter Grain Bin Project

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.

Grain Bin Built During Preseason

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.

Multi-Generational Farm Gets New Hopper

For this project we got to install a new hopper bin for a multi-generational farm. This 18’ diameter, 5-ring tall bin had a capacity of 4,900 bushels. We also installed a fan and an easily accessible level indicator to check when the bin is close to capacity.

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.

Recently we constructed a 36’ diameter, 6-ring tall grain storage bin with a capacity of 20,700 bushels. We also installed a 10hp centrifugal fan, a 10” vertical unload, and stairs around the outside of the bin for easy and safe roof access.

Simple Yet Effective Grain Storage

Recently we installed a 48’ diameter, 10-ring tall grain bin with a 60.900 bushel capacity. We installed a horizontal power sweep in the new bin but also installed some additions to attach it to an existing drying bin. We built stairs with a safety rail to connect the two units as well as a cross auger so the storage bin can be filled directly from the drying bin.

 

New Grain Storage for an Easy Fix

Grain Dryer Efficiency

We installed a T16 Sukup Axial Fan Dryer for a client who had a four-bin setup. This 14’ 7” H x 25’ L x 7’ 11” W dryer has the ability to hold up to 440 bushels and has a grain column holding capacity of 380 bushels. The T16 grain dryer can has a top-line drying capacity of 725 bushels per hour.

FS Construction Services doubles grain bin storage

Grain Storage Doubled

Last year we had the opportunity to double our client’s grain storage in a simple, straightforward way. We installed a 36’ diameter, 7-ring tall grain bin next to an existing bin and added stairs in between to connect them. We also installed two new fans for increased drying capabilities.
