With a hopper bottom grain bin, you’ll be able to enjoy a range of benefits to your daily operations, such as:
Gravity Flow Efficiency: You’ll find the efficiency offered by hopper bottom bins over traditional flat bottom grain bins is unmatched. The unique design of hopper bottom grain bins includes a steep cone, which allows gravity to do its work and concentrate grain and feed towards the end. This makes it more convenient to access grains and reduces the need for costly sweep augers, saving you labor, time, and money.
Moisture and Pest Control: Two of the quickest ways to see excessive spoilage in feed and grain are water and unwelcome pests. The elevated design of hopper bins compared to flat bottom bins keeps product away from the ground and provides better airflow to keep it dry. Your grain and feed have much less of a chance of being exposed to moisture from changing weather or being infested by hungry pests. You don’t have to worry about these external factors creating unnecessary spoilage.
Versatility in Cycling: Hopper bottom bins meet the specific demands of your business. Their expansive structure offers you plenty of versatility during peak harvest seasons. They can be used as wet holding bins before being transferred dryer to minimize spoilage. Hopper bottom grain bins are also used as load-out tanks that can easily be put onto trucks for shipment, so grain and feed are supplied to clients in ideal condition.
Structural Durability: Hopper bottom grain bins are built to last. Top brands we offer, like GSI GHT Hopper Bins and Brock Grain Systems, engineer steel hopper bins with a strong focus on structural integrity, making them a worthy investment for your operation. These manufacturers deliver hopper bins with heavy-duty legs and bracing that support high-capacity loads safely and efficiently.
The benefit of a hopper bottom bin is total gravity discharge as it allows for effortless unloading and eliminates the need for labor-intensive bin sweeping.
While they excel at frequent cycling (feed/seed), high-quality brands for hopper bottom grain bins like Brock and GSI are engineered for long-term durability when properly aerated.
The initial cost of hopper bottom bins is higher due to the steel substructure and cone, but the savings in labor and the elimination of sweep equipment often provide a better long-term value, making them a worthy investment.
Options for GSI and Brock hopper bins range from small bulk feed tanks for livestock to large-scale commercial bins holding over 10,000 bushels.
Yes, because the weight is concentrated on the legs rather than the entire floor, a reinforced concrete pad or heavy-duty piers are necessary for safety when using hopper bottom grain bins.
