Technical Specifications (Nolin Milling Catalog)
OEM Nolin Milling fabrication from Dickens, Iowa. Sizes are outside-diameter (round) or outside width (square) unless noted. Select diameter/size, gauge, lining, and finish on this page; price, weight, and freight cube update with the option set.
Flow retarder. Internal 1/2" baffles (7 ga carbon, 7 ga AR on wear points) create a moving pile that cuts grain velocity. Install on approximately 10 ft intervals on steep or long runs. Welding-sleeve models drop into existing round spout. Vertical-drop retarders are for true vertical legs; 45° cushion turnouts are used when a vertical spout must kick out. Catalog capacity guidelines use ~70 BPH per square inch of interior area for 8" and larger spouts on clean corn, soybeans, or wheat at 40° or greater. Target grain velocity under 1,750 FPM to limit kernel damage and premature wear (see Nolin grain-velocity chart). A 100 ft spout at 45° typically needs 2 retarders; at 60° about 3; at 85° about 6 (Nolin grain-damage chart). Approximate shipping size for an 8"–12" inline unit: 24–30" long × (size + 6") square.
Lining materials. Catalog options: 1/4" cloth-back blue urethane; 5/16" cloth-back orange urethane; expanded-metal-backed blue / orange / ceramic-chip urethane; 7 ga AR plate; 1/4" AR plate; 4"×6" × 1/4" or 1/2" ceramic tile; 6"×6" hex tile sheets. Expanded-metal-backed blue urethane is the preferred liner for most grain. AR is specified for high-impact zones. Tile is used on the most severe wear. Cup bolts (1/4" × 1") fasten urethane. Tile uses the catalog resin kit (~300 of the 4×6 tiles per kit). Sheet goods ship rolled or flat; a 4'×10' urethane roll is a 48" × 12" × 12" class freight piece.

Capacities assume clean, dry whole grain at 40° or steeper. Wet corn should be spouted at 45° minimum. Lining and fittings reduce capacity. Guidelines only — confirm with the factory for your application.
