2 Quality by Design CAPACITIES FROM 75,000 TO OVER 750,000 BUSHELS VARIETY OF PEAK LOAD RATINGS LARGE ROOF DECKS For nearly 80 years Behlen Mfg. Co. has focused on meeting customer needs. This is done with experience, dedication, and innovative designs. Behlen offers commercial storage bins in a variety of sizes. These bins were designed specifically for commercial applications. Engineers considered customer needs, efficiencies in design, production technology, ease of construction, and longevity to develop the best grain storage systems available in the marketplace. 2 3

3 INNOVATIVE ROOF DESIGN Deep rafters that run from eave to peak provide a strong backbone for supporting roof loads. Compression beams and zee spreaders work with the rafters to develop maximum strength in Behlen commercial bins. The nearly 11 diameter roof deck provides ample space for mounting overhead equipment. Behlen engineers will work with customers to provide custom built supports to fit nearly any requirement. UNMATCHED ROOF SYSTEM Topping off the Behlen bin is one of the strongest roof systems available. The Behlen roof is designed to stand up to high winds, snow loads, temperature cables, and heavy loads from overhead equipment. Pitched at 30 for optimum filling, and provided with a large deck at the peak, the Behlen roof is designed to stand up to demanding requirements of commercial storage facilities. Corrugated 3½ high ribs with four stair steps on both sides provide outstanding strength. Panels are roll formed for a precision fit. This process assures the adjacent roof ribs match perfectly for ultimate strength and eliminate the oil canning effect. Roof panels attach to the roof structure with special brackets to connect to the top of the roof rib minimizing penetrations through the valley and creating a more weather-tight roof. Continuous angle at the eave attaches the roof panels to the wall. This system works to prevent roof panels from tearing loose in high wind conditions. 4 5

4 UNIQUELY DESIGNED WALL SYSTEM STIFFENERS WITH EXCEPTIONAL LOAD CARRYING CAPABILITIES The Behlen hat-shaped stiffeners provide superior resistance to grain loads. Each stiffener is formed from a single piece of steel up to 5/16 thick. This use of thick, solid steel eliminates the need to laminate stiffener material. Each of the stiffeners supports the next with a load bearing plate to ensure positive load transfer into the concrete foundation. The use of three heavy duty stiffeners per wall sheet gives Behlen bins the ability to be cleaned with a single pass sweeping operation. The Behlen flat-sided (trapezoidal) corrugation uses a flat surface for bolt-to-wall panel connection. This flat-sided configuration provides for maximum strength while giving a superior weather seal where the bolt, washer, and wall sheet connect. The Grade 8.2 bolts are formed with a pocket in the head which helps to hold the washer in place and channel moisture away, providing another level of protection for the grain inside. Behlen bin bolts are coated with JS1000 extreme life plating, providing superior corrosion protection. The distinctive Behlen built-in wind bands, offered as a standard design feature with inside stiffened bins only, provide greater strength and rigidity to resist the forces exerted by side draw and wind loads. These precision, rollformed 1 ribs at each horizontal seam eliminate the need for exterior wind pipes, reducing construction time and cost. SUPERIOR PANEL STRENGTH The vertical seam lines have an extensive overlap with up to seven rows of bolts. The precision manufactured panels speed assembly resulting in lower erection cost. EAVE TENSION RING A full circle ring at the eave stabilizes the roof and walls under all loading conditions. The heavy rings are fabricated with welded end plates to provide unmatched strength at the eave. This design supports the nonuniform loads created by snowdrifts, side draw systems, high winds, and earthquake forces. The ring is double braced between rafters to provide superior strength in both tension and compression. The eave ring and rafters attach directly to the stiffeners for a solid connection. 6 7

5 Accessories to meet ever increasing demands for safety and convenience. LADDERS AND PLATFORMS Behlen now offers as standard equipment double wide eave and rest platforms, along with hoop and strap safety cage. Standard outside ladder. PLATFORMS AND STAIRS Behlen offers two options of exterior wall stairs. Our commercial stairs offer sturdy industrial construction with rest platform landings. The light duty version provides an economical alternative, giving our customers the ability to select the option that best fits their needs. Optional commercial grade wall stairs pictured above. SAFETY RAIL AND ROOF STAIRS The Behlen Big Bin series can be supplied with an optional peak safety rail. The rail encloses the flat peak area for added safety protection. The Behlen hot-dipped galvanized roof stairs come in pre-assembled sections. The mounting brackets and handrails are easily attached and make quick work of installation on the bin roof. The full tread steps and handrails offer safe and secure 8 access from eave to peak. 9

6 Accessories for Your Behlen Grain Bins ACCESS DOORS Behlen stiffened bins offer ample sized openings for access to the interior. 1. All stiffened bins come standard with a 27 square single ring door. 2. Optional walk through door comes with inner and outer doors with 2 wide by 5 tall opening. 3. Optional drive through door features heavy, factoryassembled structural frame that provides a 6 x8 opening. It includes both inside and outside doors for the ultimate in protection, strength and accessibility. The inner and outer doors are hinged for ease of entry. ROOF VENTS 4. A pre-punched opening in the roof panel has a raised lip for improved weather protection. 5. Behlen s 1.56 sq. ft. opening gooseneck vents used with prepunched opening allow for fast assembly. 6. Behlen exclusive low profile roof vents. These vents set down close to the roof panel to reduce the potential for wind damage. They are an excellent choice in port facilities or high wind locations. This design is available in 3.13 sq. ft. openings reducing the number of vents STIFFENER EXTENSIONS 7. Stiffener extensions are offered to transfer loads from the base of the stiffener columns to the bottom of customer installed aeration tunnels. They are available in heights of 12¼, 11¾ and 7¾. These extensions reduce the time and expense of field fabrication of this critical component Commercial Bin Series Diameter 15 (49 3 ) 15x ,448 2,156 1,940 1,563 2,542 15x ,763 2,305 2,075 1,671 2,718 15x ,077 2,455 2,210 1,780 2,895 15x ,392 2,605 2,345 1,889 3,072 15x ,706 2,755 2,480 1,997 3,248 15x ,021 2,905 2,614 2,106 3,425 15x ,335 3,055 2,749 2,215 3,602 15x ,650 3,205 2,884 2,323 3,779 15x ,964 3,354 3,019 2,432 3,955 15x ,279 3,504 3,154 2,541 4,132 15x ,593 3,654 3,289 2,649 4,309 15x ,908 3,804 3,424 2,758 4,485 15x ,222 3,954 3,558 2,867 4,662 15x ,537 4,104 3,693 2,975 4,839 15x ,851 4,254 3,828 3,084 5,016 15x ,166 4,403 3,963 3,192 5,192 15x ,481 4,552 4,098 3,300 5,369 15x ,796 4,701 4,233 3,408 5,546
