Available in 60° and 67° slopes with a standard 16" hopper opening, Sioux Steel hopper panels are die-formed with rounded corners and down-turned sealing edges for safety and a weather-tight fit. Constructed using high tensile steel sidewall sheets with a G-90 commercial galvanized coating for outstanding strength and durability.
Feed Bin Description
These high-capacity hopper bins are designed to store grain in feed until needed. Their large capacities are calculated using 40 pounds per cubic foot with no compaction of free-flowing material. The bin walls are made with G-90 galvanized steel for extra strength.
The roof is reinforced with structural ribbing that increases the strength at the seams. The lid itself is opened and closed from the ground lever and measures 23-1/2" in diameter. The large size makes filling the bin easy.
Lower hopper wall sections are offset to promote the smooth flow of feed to the boot slide valve, the side-mounted slide valve, or an auger.
The hopper seam stiffeners should be added when high-fat, non-free-flowing, and denser feeds are being stored. It comes standard on the large 9' diameter, which is 3 or more rows high. It is necessary to install an appropriate agitator in feed bins storing soybean meal, cottonseed meal, hot feeds, and other products that are not considered free-flowing material
All bulk feed bins include the following standard features: Ground control fill cap, roof panels, 2.66 corrugated sidewalls, and 16" hopper openings with collar.
Please note the bins ship with the 'roof style lid' shown on the bins on the left.
The flat cap (shown on the right) is available as a special order if desired.
