Planning the Locations of Fans and Auger Unload Tubes
Take care to ensure that the results of an installation meet the customer’s expectations. A few basic
considerations follow:
1. Determine where the unload auger will exit the bin. Typically the unload auger is located directly below the
door, or very close to the door, to permit access into the bin once the grain stops flowing.
2. When uprights are present, the unload auger discharge hole and fan openings must be between the
uprights (unless otherwise specified by Westeel).
3. Openings should not be placed on vertical wall sheet seams.
4. For maximum grain drying efficiency, the unload auger discharge hole should be directly across from the fan.
5. If two fans are used, they should be placed no more than 60° apart, and the auger discharge hole should be
located directly opposite of the midpoint between the fans.
