PLANNING FLOOR LAYOUT
When installing an aeration floor, circumstances may require a deviation from the established procedures
and layouts. However, for a successful installation the following 3 points must be kept in mind, and
adhered to, at all times, and under all circumstances. If, when nearing the completion of a floor
installation, there is a shortage of floor supports, obtain additional supports rather then compromise any of
the following 3 points.
1. The spacing between adjacent floor supports shou
ld not exceed the “S” dimension for the floor
being assembled and all 3 plank legs need to be supported.
2.
There should be a support within the “O” dimension from every end of a plank…be it against
the wall, where the split planks come together, or where planks are cut to accommodate the
unloading wells.
3. If there is a short plank created to accommodate an unloading well, at least two supports are
required to support each end of the short plank…even if the above two conditions are otherwise
met.
Planning:
Fo
r any installation, care must be taken to insure that the results meet the customer’s expectations.
The following are a few basic considerations.
Determine where the unload auger will exit the bin. Generally this is directly below the door, or very close to the
door, to permit access into the bin once the grain stops flowing. When uprights are present, the unload auger
discharge hole, and fan openings, must be between the uprights. These openings should also not be placed on
vertical wall sheet seams.
For maximum grain drying efficiency, the unload auger discharge hole should be directly across from the fan. If two
fans are used, they should be placed no more than 60º apart, and the auger discharge hole should be located
directly opposite of the midpoint between the fans.
