Non-Stiffened Bins/Silos Stiffened Bins/Silos Hopper Bottom Bins/Silos Aeration & Drying Systems Complete Storage Systems Engineering & Design Models & Specifications |
SUPER STIFFENERS SCAFCO has developed a new family of super stiffeners. Utilizing 57-ksi yield (up to 80 000 psi tensile), hot dip galvanized steel, these new shapes surpass the compressive strengths of previous open-faced stiffeners. This strong new profile can handle the draw-down loads imposed by very tall bins/silos, as well as severe seismic loads. Each bin utilizes several stiffener gauges and up to three profiles for the most efficient column design. HEAVY DUTY STIFFENERS Heavy-duty stiffeners transfer drawdown loads from the sidewalls to the foundation. Rugged base plate is factory-welded to the bottom stiffener, providing durable bin anchorage to resist lateral and uplift loads. SIDE DISCHARGE SYSTEM SCAFCO side discharge system allows gravity loadout to trucks or rail cars. Interior flumes channel grain from top storage level to the discharge chute. Available with 12" (300mm) square discharge pipe and rack and pinion gate. | GALVANIZED STEEL BODY SHEETS Our unique 42 2/3" (1.08 M) galvanized steel wall sheets have a 2 2/3" pitch and 1/2" (67.7 mm x 12.7mm) deep corrugation. Wall sheets are pre-punched in a single stroke operation, assuring accurate hole alignment and uniform fit. Sheets are precision roll-formed from high tensile steel. COMPLETE INTER IOR & EXTERIOR LADDER SYSTEM Complete ladder systems are available, including safety cage and rest platforms for sidewall heights above 32’ (10 m). SCAFCO’s ladder systems are designed to meet government safety standards. ACCESS DOORS Stiffened bins feature a heavy-duty 23 1/2" x 26" (597 mm x 660 mm) access door. Access doors serve the same function as utility doors on non-stiffened bins, but are sturdier in construction and are welded and bolted into the bin’s wall sheets. Customers may also select from these stiffened-bin door options: Heavy-duty 28" x 36" (710 mm x915 mm) utility door. Walk-in door for easy access. 28" x 60" (710 mm x 1525 mm) "Giant" doors designed for drive-in access for small front-end loaders or other equipment. Two sizes: 67" x 75" or 72" x 96" (1.7 m x 1.9 m or 1.8 m x 2.4 m).
