Aeration & Drying Systems
Aeration is an important aspect of every grain storage system. Properly operated aeration systems keep grain in good condition and help control insect infestation and moisture migration, reducing grain spoilage. SCAFCO aeration systems can be installed in new or existing storage facilities. SCAFCO uses rigid corrugated perforated aeration ducts made from heavy gauge galvanized steel and high efficiency aeration fans.
Roof Panels
SCAFCO’s one piece deep-rib corrugated roof panels offer outstanding load-carrying capabilities, providing durability under heavy snow, ice loads and other extreme weather conditions. Roofs 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 corrugated roof panels (depending upon bin
diameter) and a weather-tight closure.
Centrifugal Fans
Available in both 50 and 60 Hz, with low and high speed centrifugal and axial configurations.
SCAFCO centrifugal fan housings are precision fabricated from heavy gauge galvanized steel, which is rust resistant, provides an attractive finish and has a long life span.
Fan housings are bolted together, using as few pieces as possible to increase the strength and reduce the number of seams that can cause air leakage or wear problems.
Axial & Inline Fans
SCAFCO axial and inline fans deliver high capacity airflow at maximum performance. Fans feature all galvanized steel bodies, heavy-duty cast aluminum blades and energy efficient electric motors. Axial & Inline fans are available in a variety of diameters and horsepower ratings.
Double H-Pattern
Double H-pattern commercial flush floor aeration systems consist of plain and perforated corrugated galvanized decking, 4″ (102 mm) wide hat-beams, 12″ (300 mm) high support legs, ledger angles, perforated strips, corrugated filler strips and fasteners.
Quad Fpattern aeration is also available for larger bins.
Hopper Bottom Bin Aeration
SCAFCO uses rigid perforated, corrugated galvanized steel pipe for aeration in hopper bottom bins. Fans mount below the hopper, directing air into internal ducts and up through the grain mass.
Perforated Plank Floor
SCAFCO perforated plank floors ensure fast assembly, uniform grain drying, and easy cleaning. Interlocking planks are precision roll formed with 13% perforation and a slight crown for added strength and rest on heavy-duty legs.
The plank floor design features a complete assembly kit for easy installation. Floors for small seeds are also available.
Flush Floor Aeration
SCAFCO flush floor systems provide easy installation with no pre-forming required. Floors can be poured directly into steel concrete forms.
SCAFCO’s system includes 13% open perforated planks with round perforation holes to minimize clogging.
