SCAFCO's hopper-bottom bins and silos are constructed with quality in mind.
SCAFCO understands that customers consider cost, quality and durability when choosing a company to purchase their products from, and that's why SCAFCO is proud of what it offers.
While most of our competitors construct their hopper-bottom bins and silos using only 50 ksi steel, SCAFCO's hopper bottom bins and silos are manufactured using 57 ksi steel.
The difference results in more durability during regular loading and unloading.
All products used are all-galvanized G-115 (350 grams/m²;) materials that offer superior corrosion protection versus our competitors' standard G-90 (275 grams/m²;) materials.
Many companies use painted materials throughout their design and manufacturing process.
Although these products have the advantage of being less expensive to produce, they will also require more routine maintenance than a galvanized product over decades of service.
Another consideration when purchasing your hopper silos is the transition from the side-wall to the hopper panel.
Some companies will use angled compression beams because they, once again, can save you money at the time of purchase.
However, angled compression beams don't allow the hopper silos to fully clean out, thereby trapping product inside the hopper.
SCAFCO-designed compression rings create a smooth transition from side-wall to hopper panel to ensure a thorough product clean out.
