20 Union Iron - Temp Stor 20 Union Iron s Temp Stor containment system can be set up in any available space such as a parking lot or open field where it can later be disassembled for storage returning the space to its originally intended use. The modular design allows the containment geometry to be changed easily as conditions affect the required volume. Modular storage built in one day The storage area can be filled with a portable auger/belt conveyor or permanent handling systems, such as chain conveyors and enclosed/open belt conveyors. The system can be installed on uneven surfaces due to the modular design. The minimum site preparation is a packed pad of 100 mm of crushed limestone. Excavation, engineered site preparation and placement of concrete or compacted fill is not required in most cases.

21 21 A typical installation (8,856 tonnes) containing a 30.5 m x 91.4 m x 1.2 m (100' x 300' x 4') containment wall system can be shipped in one container and installed by four workers in 16 hours. The wall modules are assembled in 3 m long sections in sizes from 1.2 m to 2.7 m. Just unfold the legs and bolt them in position. Temp Stor aeration systems and reinforced polyethylene tarps preserve the condition of stored grain to the same degree provided by bin storage. Ag Growth International

23 Grain Guard and Keho - Grain Aeration & Conditioning 23 With more than 100,000 fans in operation we remain the leader in aeration design The primary purpose of aeration is the temperature control of grain while preventing spoilage, allowing high moisture grain to be stored safely until it is convenient to be dried even well after harvest has been completed. Grain Guard and Keho aeration systems move a low volume of air through the crop, dissipating heat and preventing hot spots that cause spoilage. Low speed centrifugal force fans High speed centrifugal force fans Axial flow fans Inline centrifugal force fans Aeration Accessories: Aeration floor Roof and wall vents Flat storage aeration solutions Heaters The inclusion of low temperature grain dryers allow 24 hour grain drying when high humidity conditions prevail. The heaters are easily installed between the fan and the bin. In some cases, natural drying of the crop can be achieved with high air flow and favourable climatic conditions. Ag Growth International
