| Twistaire for hopper bottom bins - Free Flo Aeration for flat
bottom bins
The Twister Free Flo Aeration system provides this insurance
against crop spoilage at an affordable price.
Every
Twister hopper comes pre-cut for the installation of our Twistaire
aeration system. You can install the system when the bin is
first erected or at any time after. It is a simple matter
of bolting the components in place; there is no cutting or
welding involved.
Twister aeration systems are available as optional equipment
for unsurpassed performance in natural air-drying and aeration
situations. The full circle perforated pipe placement in the
hopper gives complete air circulation to the entire bin.
Temperature changes due to changing seasons can cause moisture
to migrate within your bin. Moisture can migrate through your
grain, even when it is cold outside. Moisture can gather at
the top of the grain causing it to spoil, and harming your
profits. Aeration equipment can prevent this from happening
and save your investment from spoiling.
Grain drying equipment can be used as either an aeration
system or a natural air-drying system. The basic difference
between grain aeration and natural air drying is that aeration
is used to maintain the temperature and moisture of the grain
and natural air drying is used to change the moisture of the
grain. The only difference between the two systems themselves
is that of the fan size attached to the system.
Air Flow
It is widely believed that a full floor air system will provide
the most uniform airflow through the grain, but this is not
often the case. Grain in the bin tends to settle with the
coarser grain near the walls and the fine grain in the centre.
Air finds the path of least resistance to flow through the
grain. Since the coarser grain is near the wall, the air will
find a lower resistance path near the wall. The Twister Free
Flo Aeration floor is square and it provides airflow that
is equal throughout the bin. This allows for the most efficient
airflow through the grain.
Easy Assembly
The
Twister Free Flo arrangement is easy to install. There are
no chairs needed to support the flooring so it is not necessary
to finish the bottom of the air pit perfectly. The Free Flo
formwork simply bolts together and the concrete is poured
around it. The supports are poured into the pit bottom and
remain securely in place to support a perfectly level floor.
The Free Flo formwork comes pre-punched and tagged for easy
assembly. The system is designed in such a way that makes
it possible for anyone to produce a perfect job on the first
try.
Dry and condition your grain with natural air, the most economical
system yet designed. Free Flo bolts together and is poured
right into your foundation. There is no need to worry about
the finish on the pit bottom because a cast in beam is used
instead of the troublesome chair supports used in other pits.
Assemble, level and place concrete. It's
as easy as that!!
