COMMERCIAL GRAIN BINS AND SILOS

SCAFCO COMMERCIAL GRAIN BINS & SILOS

SCAFCO commercial grain bins and silos offer many outstanding strength and durability features. Wide corrugated steel sheets manufactured from high- strength steel, heavy-duty galvanized steel stiffeners, and strong box-rib roofs are some of the quality features available.Our complete line of commercial bins and silos is available in diameters from 15 ' (4.57 m) to over 138' (42.06 m). Extra-tall sizes are available in all diameters. SCAFCO also has a full range of accessories available to complete your storage silo projects, feed storage solutions, and ethanol and bio diesel facilities

 

COMPLETE LADDER SYSTEMS

SCAFCO provides a complete ladder system inside and outside the silo. Safety cages and rest platforms are also available at customer request.

 

INSPECTION HATCH

A man-sized inspection hatch comes standard on every silo (12' [3.66 m] and larger). Located at the silo's eave, the inspection hatch is weather-tight and factory-installed, with a lockable latch.

 

WALK-IN DOORS

Available on all farm silos up to 48' (14.63 M) diameter and 32' (9.76 M) eave height, SCAFCO's walk-in door opens up to 28" x 60" (710 mm x 1524 mm). The design includes a welded frame, reinforced outer door panel, and three-hinged inner flaps with positive locking bars. The door bolts into place easily with corrugated welded door jambs. A heavy-duty version is also available for all commercial silos.

 

HIGH STRENGTH BOLTS

While other silo manufacturers use zinc dichromate bolts that can only withstand a minimum of 108 hours to red rust in tests, all SCAFCO grain silos are furnished with heat-treated SAE grade 8.2 (DIN 10.9) bolts and JS1000 plating that will meet a minimum of 1000 hours to red rust in salt spray tests.

 

CAP & RIB ROOF PANELS

Our design enables roof systems to bolt together rapidly in the field, with each roof panel securely fastened to wall panels using steel clips. SCAFCO's one piece, deep-rib roof panels provide outstanding load-carrying characteristics, which makes them ideal for locations with heavy snow and ice loads and other extreme weather conditions. Roofs have weather-tight closure and either 24 or 36 roof panels, depending upon silo diameter. Heavy-duty 3 and 1/4" (82 mm) high box-ribs provide strength and rigidity for each roof panel.
