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 page
45 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, non-corrosive 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.
