DOORS
On 2.66 corrugated bins, a single ring 32” door is standard on all sizes and a
two ring 64” walk door is available as an option.
The standard location of the one ring door is in the second ring from the bottom.
The standard location of the 64” door is in the second and third rings from the
bottom. See pages
53 and 54 for installation.
All 32” doors have two inner panels and an outer door cover and 64” doors
have three inner panels and an outer door cover.
DESIGN CRITERIA
Bins are designed to store flowable, noncorrosive material with 48 pound
bulk density (60 pound/bushel) maximum.
Bins are designed to be filled through the center roof opening only, and to be
emptied only from the center. Any off-center unloadings should be used only
for clean-out after discharge has been complete to the angle of repose.
Have your erector make all non-bin equipment in excess of the company’s
recommendations, like LEGS, WALK- WAYS, SPOUTING and CONVEYORS
self supporting.
Do not overfill the bin roof area during final storage. This prevents proper
air movement through roof vents and may also cause roof damage or failure.
Adequate ventilation area must be furnished to match the cubic foot per minute
output of the crop drying and aeration fan installed on the bin. A rule of
thumb would be, no more than 2000 cubic feet per minute per square foot
vent opening. When you run your fans, make sure your VENTS ARE OPEN
and kept clean of all debris and frozen matter. An aeration system can, without
proper management, create a greater load on a roof than equipment or snow
and can damage the bin roof
WARNING:
Installation of accessories or equipment in or on a grain bin that would
over stress the structure in any manner will void the Warranty. If you do
not have specific recommendations from MFS/YORK/STORMOR, where
additional loading is involved, please contact the Engineering Department of
MFS/YORK/STORMOR before installing any such appurtenances or equipment.
