Grain Bins

Aeration floors

PERFLOCK FLOOR
Smooth corrugated floor features 3/32" round hole perforation for greater open area and increased airflow and storage versatility. These floors are a snap to clean! Works well with Corn, Wheat, and Soybeans.

HAWKEYE FLOOR
Designed and fabricated for maximum strength - no material is removed during production. Ventilation is unrestricted due to lanced flooring on the hills of the corrugation. Works well with bigger kernel sizes where moisture conditioning is required like corn and soybeans.

RAPESEED/ MILLET/ CANOLA FLOOR
Used with smaller grains - 1/16" diameter holes provide greater opening percentage for excellent airflow.

Floor supports

At Hynek Construction we are strong believers in truss flooring support systems. The truss design is much stronger than stamped tin supports, and air flows through them much better. They are heavy and built to last.

Stamped tin supports have a bad reputation for moving after they are installed, interfering with sump pull rods and allowing floors to give way to the weight of the grain.

EAton bin roof

At Hynek Construction we put a roof stiffener package in most of our bins to strengthen the roof. The Stiffeners are bolted to the peak ring and span the roof sheet down the the bin sidewall where they are bolted to the top ring of the bin. On a 48' bin there are 9 stiffeners (2 Directly underneath the roof ladder).
Eaton has the option of a 4 panel per sidewall sheet 35 degree roof, or a 3 panel per sidewall sheet 30 degree roof. We prefer to use the 4 panel 35 degree roof as it has more roof ribs for added strength. The steeper angle also adds strength and helps condensation run off the bin roof and out of the bin instead of on top of the grain where it causes problems.

1 ring stiffener and heavy base angle ring

All of our Eaton Heavy Grain bins come with a 1 ring stiffener and a heavy base angle ring for added strength and longevity. The stiffener not only strengthens the bin on the bottom ring, it anchors the wall of the bin down to help prevent wind damage.

Unloads and powersweeps

SUDENGA powersweep unloading augers

SUDENGA has 8", 10", 12", and 10" U-trough Powersweep and standard unloads. Their clean floor attachment is a brush that mounts to the bottom side of the sweep to ensure that the sweep doesn't leave much behind to clean up

concrete

A solid foundation is critical to building a bin that will stand the test of time. Our foundations have a frost footing and LOTS of Rebar. As we all know, Rats and Mice make a pretty good living around grain bins, so it's critical that bins have a footing that rodents cannot undermine, and a cold winter cannot heave. We don't skimp on concrete.
After the bin is up we come back and pour the pad for the fan as well as a step in front of the door and a footing for the winding stair support. The fan pads are always poured extra long to facilitate a burner if one is added later. It's these details that keep growers coming back to Hynek Construction for their storage needs.
