Product Details
UNMATCHED ROOF SYSTEM
CLEAR SPAN ROOF SYSTEM
The Big Bin® Series offers an enormous, clear span roof system designed for strong winds, snow loads, temperature cables and high volume filling equipment. The 30° roof allows for optimum filling, and the huge deck at the peak easily accepts today’s ever larger catwalks and higher capacity filling equipment.
The 11” or 15” deep continuous I-beam rafters from eave to peak provide a strong framework for roof loads. This roof system is capable of supporting uniform loads of 50,000-70,000 lbs. (depending on model) at the peak and 40 lbs. per sq. ft. ground snow load.
INNOVATIVE ROOF SYSTEM
STRONG STANDING SEAM PANEL
System uses a “Standing Seam” panel to elevate the roof fasteners above the roof valley. The roof panels are attached to the roof skelton with standing seam roof straps.
RIGIDIZED ROOF PANELS
Roof panels are rigidized for longer life and attach with numerous bolts to the wall system through a continuous angle at the eave. This prevents panels from tearing loose in high wind conditions.
EXTRA HEAVY-DUTY TENSION PIPE
BRINGS ALL MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE BIN TOGETHER
These massive pipes (up to 4½” diiameter) connect the rafters to the wall panels and stiffeners for outstanding strength at this critical location. This full circle ring at the eave stabilizes the roof and walls under all loading conditions and provides unmatched strength in both tension and compression situations, and provides support of non-uniform loads created by snowdrifts, high winds and earthquake forces.
LARGE ROOF DECK
IMMENSE 13’ 4” DIAMETER DECK
The fill opening can easily accommodate up to 4’ diameter spouting for maximum flexibility in choosing your fill equipment.
Wall System
UNIQUELY DESIGNED WALL SYSTEMS
The Behlen flat-sided (trapezoidal) corrugation uses a flat surface for bolt-to-wall panel connection. This flat-sided configuration provides for maximum strength while giving a superior weather seal where the bolt, washer, and wall sheet connect.
The Grade 8.2 bolts are formed with a pocket in the head which helps to hold the washer in place and channel moisture away, providing another level of protection for the grain inside. Behlen bin bolts are coated with JS1000™ extreme life plating, providing superior corrosion protection.
SUPERIOR PANEL STRENGTHThe vertical seam lines have an extensive overlap with up to seven rows of bolts. The precision manufactured panels speed assembly resulting in lower erection cost.
STIFFENERS WITH EXCEPTIONAL LOAD CARRYING CAPABILITIESThe 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. The use of three heavy duty stiffeners per wall sheet gives Behlen bins the ability to be cleaned with a single pass sweeping operation.
