Farm-Com Grain Storage Bins GSI has combined the sound engineering principals used on large commercial stiffened grain tanks to on-farm stiffened grain bins. The GSI Farm-Com series is a 4" corrugation, externally stiffened bin available in greater capacities than the unstiffened NS series or unstiffened WS series. These bins and silos have proven a popular choice for many intensive use situations such as over cone pits, with recirculating systems, etc. This option also allows you to match up with the peak heights of other wide corrugation bins you may already have in place.		FC Specifications -------------------- Farm-Com Bins -------------------- Farm-Com Bin Roofs -------------------- Easy Bin Access -------------------- Flooring -------------------- Grain Aeration and Conditioning FCDL Series This series is designed for dry grain storage or standard drying equipment and stirring devidces with 3 or less down augers. FCDL bins are punched for a standard 12" plenum allowing usage of a full drying floor.

High Tensile Sidewall The 4" wide corrugated sidewall design is standard on the Farm-Com Series with each panel double row, hill and valley bolted for strong panel connections. GSI sidewall sheets are 44" tall and constructed from high tensile, galvanized steel for long tank life. In addition, GSI uses graded, zinc plated, dichromate coated bolts at all connections with sealing washers to keep out the elements.	Stiffened vs. Non-Stiffened The same concepts of allowing vertical sidewall stiffeners to carry the often destructive vertical grain loads and allowing sidewall panels to contain grain hoop loads, have been applied to this product line. The graph below shows the tremendous increase in vertical load carrying ability that stiffeners bring to normally unstiffened sidewall panels.GSI stiffeners are manufactured from high strength 65,000 PSI (450 MSA) steel and feature strong splice joints and a large cross sectional area for maximum strength.

	Solid Support To securely anchor the bin, special stiffener anchor/base plates are used at each stiffener location. These stiffener anchors effectively hold the bin in position when the bin is full, being unloaded or standing empty. The anchors also provide a bearing plate for each base stiffener.
