Managing Stored Grain
48
Foundations

Inspect bins and foundations for structural problems. An uneven foundation settlement can cause gaps at the
bottom of the bin, resulting in spilled grain, entry points for water and pests, and exits for forced air, reducing
efficiency and increasing costs.

Inspect concrete routinely for exposed rebar, unusual cracking, or spalling of concrete.

Ensure all anchor bolts are tightened and undamaged. Cracks that develop around anchor bolts result in the
bin being susceptible to wind damage.

Ensure base of bin is uniformly resting on the foundation and sealant is intact. If gaps occur, caulk between
bottom of bin and the foundation.
Electrical

Inspect wiring of fans and other electrical components for corrosion and cracked, frayed, or broken insulation.
Exposed wiring should be run through waterproof, dust–tight conduit. Ensure all connections are secure.

Check control boxes for rodent damage. If found, clean and repair or replace broken wiring, relays, and other
components and seal over the opening that allowed rodent entry.
Bin Site Maintenance

Remove any spilled grain from the bin site. Mow around bins to reduce the likelihood of insect or rodent
infestation and ensure water drains away from bin foundations. Any items or debris left near bin site will
interfere with safe, unobstructed movement around the bin.

Treat outside of bin at the foundation and around door, ducts, and fans with insecticide if an insect problem
arises.

Thoroughly clean all bins by removing all of the old grain. Avoiding placing new grain on top of old, as doing
so makes mold growth and insect infestation of the new grain more likely. Remove all traces of old grain from
combines, truck beds, grain carts, augers, and any other equipment used for harvesting.

Remove all rust and apply rust-inhibiting primer or paint to affected areas. Taking care of corrosion in its early
stages is better than allowing rust streaks to run down the bin.

If for any reason you find buckled sheets, sidewall bulges, or any unusual changes in the bins appearance,
please contact Sukup Manufacturing Co. to consult with an engineer and determine the problem and solution.
Replacement Parts
To replace any deteriorated parts such as bin sheets and flooring, contact your local dealer/distributor. Do not
substitute materials for replacement parts. Your bin is assembled together with certain materials of specific
thickness. Do not replace parts without contacting a certified professional.
Prior to equipment use, please check that all decals are in legible condition and in place according to drawings in
equipment manual safety sections. Safety decals are available for replacement at no charge for Sukup
equipment. Refer to the safety sections in your Sukup manuals and specify computer number when contacting
Sukup Manufacturing Co. for replacements.
