Installing the Air Flow Supports
1. Determine the spacing and quantity of air flow supports required from the Table 12-1, page 51 .
Make sure that the correct supports have been ordered for use with the proper depth of plank (either
1-1/8" or 1-3/8" deep).
2. Mark the center of the bin.
3. Install the discharge auger.
4. Mark the spacing lines parallel to the discharge auger.
5. Start on the side of the bin opposite from the discharge auger and place the first two rows of
supports on the spacing lines.
NOTE: The air flow supports are installed at an angle in an overlapping pattern, so the ends will
overlap. Refer to the
Figure 12-2, page 52 for floor layouts.
6. Install the channel lock flooring on the first two rows of supports and secure in place with sidewall
flashing.
7. Finish placing supports on the spacing lines and installing the floor planks.
a. Single supports are used next to the sidewall and at the ends of split floor planks in order to
maintain the floor manufacturer’s recommended minimum distance from the end of a plank to a
support.
b. Double supports are used at the sump and along the sides of the discharge auger for spacing of
16" or less and for recirculating bin equipment.
c. Full supports may have to be overlapped or angled to provide support at walls and to maintain
spacing and flashing requirements.
