Farm Bins and Silos

SCAFCO farm bins and silos are perfect for on-farm applications and small silos, ranging from 12’ to 48’ diameter (3.66 m to 14.63 m).

Our unique 42 2/3" (1.08 m) galvanized steel sheets have a 2 2/3" pitch and 1/2" (67.7 mm x 12.7 mm) deep corrugation that is substantially stronger than the competitor’s standard 4" (102 mm) pitch corrugation. Plus, sheets are pre-punched in a single stroke operation assuring accurate hole alignment and uniform fit.

CAP & RIB ROOF PANELS

SCAFCO’s one piece, deep-rib roof panels provide outstanding load-carrying characteristics, and are durable under heavy snow and ice loads and other extreme weather conditions. Our design enables roof systems to bolt together rapidly in the field with each roof panel securely fastened to wall panels with steel clips.

Heavy-duty 3 1/4" (82 mm) high box-ribs provide strength and rigidity for each roof panel. Roofs have either 24 or 36 roof panels - depending upon silo diameter - and a weather-tight closure.

INSPECTION HATCH

Standard on every silo (12’ (3.66 m) & larger) is a man-sized inspection hatch at the eave, which is weather-tight and factory installed with a lockable latch.

WALK-IN DOORS

Available on all farm silos through 48' (14.63 M) diameter and 32' (9.76 M) eave height, SCAFCO's walk-in door opens up to 28" x 60" (710 mm x 1524 mm). The design includes a welded frame, reinforced outer door panel, and three hinged inner flaps with positive locking bars. Door bolts into place easily with corrugated welded door jambs. A Heavy-Duty version is also available for all commercial silos.

COMPLETE LADDER SYSTEMS

SCAFCO provides a complete ladder system inside and outside the silo. Safety cages and rest platforms are also available.

Wall sheets are precision roll-formed from high tensile steel providing
an exceptionally strong storage solution.

HIGH STRENGTH BOLTS

All SCAFCO Grain Silos are furnished with heat-treated SAE Grade 8.2 (DIN 10.9) bolts and JS500 plating that will meet a minimum of 500 hours to red rust in salt spray tests. Compare to other silo manufacturers who use zinc dichromate bolts that can only withstand a minimum of 108 hours to red rust in tests.
