Optimize Your Grain Storage with the Durable Haven Grain Bin Vent
Ensure the longevity and quality of your stored grain with the Haven Industries Grain Saver Bin Vent, meticulously engineered for superior performance and durability. Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including high winds, this robust vent provides essential aeration control, preventing moisture buildup and spoilage. Its high-quality construction keeps water out and resists corrosion, making it a reliable, long-lasting solution for your grain storage needs.
Crafted entirely from premium G90 galvanized steel, the Haven Grain Bin Vent guarantees exceptional strength and resistance to the elements. The structure features a sturdy 16-gauge clinched frame, providing a secure mounting base, while an 18-gauge band reinforces the front edge for enhanced rigidity. All seams are expertly constructed to be watertight without the need for additional sealant, ensuring the integrity of your bin.
Key features like the pivoting bird guard (with 5/8" x 4-3/4" screen openings on standard models, 1" x 2" on tapered) prevent unwanted entry while maintaining airflow. The thoughtful design actively works to reduce common issues like vent freeze-up and plugging, ensuring consistent ventilation. Installation and servicing are simplified, often manageable by a single person, making it ideal for both new bin constructions and retrofitting existing setups.
Available in various sizes and configurations, including standard 70-degree elbow vents (12x12, 15x15, 18x18 inches) and a narrow profile tapered peak vent (10x32 inches, 1.1 sq ft area), you can select the perfect fit for your specific bin size and ventilation requirements. Haven Industries also offers custom hole patterns upon request to meet unique installation needs. Proudly made in the USA, the Haven Grain Bin Vent is the professional choice for optimal grain conditioning and protection.
Choosing Your Haven Grain Bin Vent Configuration:
Haven Industries offers several Grain Saver Bin Vent configurations to match your specific grain storage needs. Understanding the differences will help you select the optimal vent for maximum airflow and protection.
1. Elbow Vents (70° Standard Angle):
These are the most common type, designed for standard roof mounting on various bin sizes. They feature a 70-degree angle and a pivoting bird guard with 5/8" x 4-3/4" screen openings.
-
12" x 12" Elbow Vent (SKU: GS-1270):
- Best for: Medium to large grain bins requiring standard ventilation.
- Details: Provides a 12"x12" opening, balancing effective airflow with a compact footprint. Ideal for both new installs and replacing older, less efficient vents.
-
15" x 15" Elbow Vent (SKU: GS-1570):
- Best for: Medium to large grain bins needing increased airflow compared to the 12" model.
- Details: Offers a larger 15"x15" opening for enhanced ventilation capacity. A 90° angle version (GS-1590) is also available directly from the manufacturer for specific installation requirements.
-
18" x 18" Elbow Vent (SKU: GS-1870):
- Best for: Large grain bins demanding maximum passive ventilation.
- Details: The largest elbow vent option, providing a substantial 18"x18" opening for significant air exchange, crucial for maintaining grain quality in bigger storage structures.
2. Tapered Peak Vent (Narrow Profile):
- 10" x 32" Tapered Peak Vent (SKU: GS-VT30):
- Best for: Mounting near the peak of the bin roof, especially where space is limited or specific airflow patterns are desired. Excellent for reducing condensation and heat buildup at the top of the bin.
- Details: This vent features a narrow, tapered profile (approx. 10"x32", providing 1.1 sq ft area) and includes a mounting flange (RPS) for secure peak installation. It utilizes a 1" x 2" floating bird screen. Its design is particularly effective at managing heat and moisture near the bin's apex.
