Roof System

STIFFENED BIN ROOF SYSTEM

BROAD ROOF DECKS

The stiffened series of bins has broad roof decks with large diameter openings and a variety of peak loads available to meet customer needs.

ROOF DESIGNED WITH
UNIQUE FEATURES

The roof panels are rigidized between the extra tall 3-1/2" high ribs and attached at the eave with a continuous angle iron and rib brackets giving added strength against wind.

Wall System

UNIQUELY DESIGNED WALL SYSTEMS

STURDY, LONG LASTING WALL SYSTEM

The flat sided (trapezoidal) configuration with "built-in" wind bands, offered as a standard design feature with inside stiffened Behlen bins, provides greater strength and rigidity to resist the forces exerted by side draw and wind loads. This built-in strength eliminates the need to add bolt-on wind pipes.

STIFF-wall1

SUPERIOR PANEL STRENGTH

The vertical seam lines have a large overlap with 4 or 5 rows of bolts. This, combined with our rigid anchor bracket and roll formed base angle, will hold your grain in place and ready for market.

STIFF-wall2

STIFFENERS WITH EXCEPTIONAL LOAD CARRYING CAPABILITIES

The Behlen hat-shaped stiffeners provide superior resistance to grain loads. Each stiffener is formed from a single piece of steel up to 5/16” thick. This use of thick, solid steel eliminates the need to laminate stiffener material. Each of the stiffeners supports the next with a load bearing plate to ensure positive load transfer into the concrete foundation.

These heavy duty stiffeners give Behlen bins the ability to be cleaned with a single pass sweeping operation without the use of additional reinforcement.

Bin Entry Options

STANDARD CRAWL DOOR

The stiffened series comes standard with a 27" square single ring door.

OPTIONAL WALK THROUGH DOOR

The optional two-ring walk door offers additional east of entry to the bin interior. It comes with inner and outer doors with over 2’ wide by over 5’ high opening.

Accessories

GOOSENECK ROOF VENT

Behlen’s 1.56 sq.ft. opening gooseneck vents used with pre-punched opening allow for fast assembly.

PRE-PUNCHED ROOF VENT OPENING

A pre-punched opening in the roof panel has a raised lip for improved weather protection.

LOW PROFILE ROOF VENT

Behlen exclusive low profile roof vents set down close to the roof panel to reduce the potential for wind damage. Excellent choice in port facilities or high wind lodations. Available in 3.13 sq. ft. openings, reducing the number of vents.

STIFFENER EXTENSION

Stiffener extensions are offered to transfer loads from the base of the stiffener columns to the bottom of customer installed aeration tunnels. Available in heights of 12¼”, 11¾, and 7¾”.

SAFETY RAIL AND ROOF STAIRS

Optional peak safety rail encloses the flat peak area for added safety protection. The Behlen hot-dipped galvanized roof stairs come in pre-assembled sections. The mounting brackets and handrails are easilty attached.

STANDARD OUTSIDE LADDERS

The standard outside ladders come with a double wide eave and rest platforms, along with hoop and strap safety cage.

STANDARD GRADE WALL STAIRS

Our standard light duty wall stairs provide an economical alternative.

TYPICAL GRAIN DENSITIES:

Wheat approximately 800 kg/m3 (50 lb/ft3)
Corn approximately 720 kg/m3 (45 lb/ft3)
Rice approximately 580 kg/m3 (36 lb/ft3)

* Capacities based on bin filled to eave with grain peaked in roof area at 28 degree slope. Bushels based on 1.25 cubic ft./bu. Metric ton calculations assume wheat at 800 kb/cubic meter; corn at 720 kg/cubic meter and rice at 580 kg/cubic meters. All maximum capacities include a 6% compaction allowances as determined by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) standard S413.
