Site Planning
To insure accurate operation, the scales must be installed on a flat, level, well drained
surface. Chore-Time recommends setting the scales and bins on a 12" (305 mm) thick
concrete pad. Consult your feed bin manual for concrete specifications.
Allow concrete to harden completely before anchor bolt holes are drilled.
Refer to the Flex-Auger Installation Manual and the Feed Bin Assembly Manual to
determine bin-to-building placement.
For installations that require a storage bin to fill a Weigh Bin, some dimensional
specifications are provided (See Figures 20-23). For ease of installation and most
trouble-free operation, the Weigh Bin should be located directly in line with the
FLEX-AUGER Delivery System. Some installations may require the storage bin to
be placed at 90 degrees to the fill system. This type of installation is acceptable.
Typically, the Weigh Bin is set 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3 m) from the building. This varies
somewhat depending on the desired height of the FLEX-AUGER System inside the
building. Two 45 degree PVC elbows and one 10 foot (3 m) PVC tube are required
to go between the Weigh Bin and the building. To place the bin nearer to or farther
from the building, additional tubes or elbows may be required.
One pad should be used for installations that require a Bin Platform.
Refer to the Bin Platform Information and Specifications on pages
53 through 58.
