Description
GSI NCHT Hopper Bin
- The NCHT series, with 2.66" corrugation, is designed for those applications where routine clean-out is required. The NCHT is a heavy-duty hopper tank for either wet grain, dry grain or for some specialty applications. NCHT hopper tanks are available in 40 degree, 45 degree, and 60 degree hoppers to meet many different requirements.
CORRUGATED SIDEWALL
- The 2.66" corrugated sidewall design is used on GSI’s NCHT tanks. The smaller corrugation, together with the 65,000 PSI (450 MPa) tensile steel, provides an all-around stronger bin.
STRONG SIDEWALL STIFFENERS
- Stiffeners are manufactured from high tensile strength steel, up to 70,000 PSI (483 MPA), and completely galvanized for durability. GSI stiffeners feature strong splice joints with large cross sectional areas, both critical elements of vertical stiffeners, and are installed two-post (two per sidewall panel) externally to bear directly on the base columns.
HOPPER STRENGTH
- Hopper strength is extremely critical to the life of the tank. Each hopper panel is precision fabricated from high-strength commercial galvanized steel and designed for maximum support.
SOLID SUPPORT FROM THE GROUND UP
- GSI commercial hopper tanks start at the concrete foundation with heavy structural wide-flanged columns, factory welded to thick steel base plates. Bolted to the top of each column are heavy compression angle segments, key components that join the columns, the hopper assembly and the tank body together as one complete unit.
HIGH PERFORMANCE AERATION SYSTEMS
- For commercial hopper tank conditioning, sturdy 14 gauge corrugated and perforated aeration tubes may be added for longer term storage. The system is designed to provide solid attachment to the hopper and allow flow of grain around the tube.
SPECIALLY DESIGNED ROLLER VALVE
- The roller valve assembly is designed to attach directly to the hopper discharge collar. Roller valve gates are equipped with machined rack and pinion gear sets controlled by a hand wheel. The roller valve is completely galvanized, simple to operate and provides years of trouble free service.
