Bin Drying System Improves Grain Quality

Bin Drying System Improves Grain Quality GRAIN HANDLING Accessories Frank Zacharias along with his brothers Adolph and Albert designed and built a galvanized full-floor hopper aeration system after hearing from Canadian farmers that such a system would improve stored grain quality “We heard about those problems over and over from people we were building bins for so we decided to do something about it ” Frank says The brothers spent 3 years designing and perfecting the idea which they now market to fit inside 18 to 27-ft dia bins Frank says they developed the idea because farmers with aeration systems in hopper bins don’t always achieve even air flow so grain at the edges may end up spoiling While flat bottom bins eliminate that issue Frank says there’s extra labor to empty and clean those style bins “To maintain the best quality 100 percent of the grain should be aerated ” Frank says “Anything less can lead to hot spots and spoilage Our NorBin system provides uniform airflow through a system of carefully calculated perforations throughout the hopper cone We’ve had the system thoroughly tested and air flow is uniform throughout the full cone because of our patent pending design ” Frank says The company sells a full-floor system and a bolt together retro-fit system that mounts inside existing hoppers Frank says their designs can be shipped anywhere and assembled on-site For pricing contact the company for an online estimate Contact: FARM SHOW Followup NorBin 860 Monticello Way Winkler Manitoba Canada R6W 0N3 ph 204 384-7850 or 587 891-7000; sales@norbin ca; www norbin ca
