What are Everest Flat Bottom Storage Bins?

Everest Flat Bottom Storage Bins are large-capacity grain storage structures, designed with a flat base to maximize space and improve efficiency for a variety of grain types.​​

What are the main features of these bins?

Key features include exceptional sidewall strength, efficient stiffener design, an exclusive FULL SWEEP® bin anchoring system, and enhanced roof strength, all built from high-strength, galvanized steel for long-lasting durability.

What sizes and capacities are available?

Everest Flat Bottom Storage Bins come in a range of diameters (typically 15 to 42 ft or 4.57 to 12.8 m) and capacities (from 3,145 to 106,383 bushels, depending on the model), with eave heights ranging from 25 ft. six in. to over 100 ft.​

How is grain unloaded from flat-bottom bins?

Unlike hopper bins, flat-bottom bins require additional equipment, such as a sweep auger, to fully unload grain. Some manual shovelling may be needed for a complete clean-out, as gravity alone cannot empty the bin.​

Are there safety features included?

Yes, Everest bins offer several safety features, such as maintenance hole surrounds, mid-roof stair platforms, safety gates on roof platforms, ladder safety cages, and a patented FULL SWEEP® bin anchoring system for safe sweep operations.​

How durable are Everest Flat Bottom Bins?

They are engineered for heavy loads and weather resistance, featuring substantial sidewall stiffeners, robust roofing, and innovative anchor systems to ensure long service life.​​

Who should consider these bins?

They are ideal for commercial grain operations or farms needing to store large quantities of grain efficiently, where cost-effectiveness per bushel and long-term durability are priorities.​

What maintenance is required?

Regular maintenance includes inspecting structural components, checking for corrosion on galvanized steel parts, and maintaining unloading equipment such as sweep augers.​​

What is a Meyer Tower Dryer?

A Meyer Tower Dryer is a continuous-flow grain dryer designed for fuel-efficient drying of various grains, offering reliable capacity and moisture-removal options within a tower drying system.​

What drying capacities do Meyer Tower Dryers offer?

They provide drying capacities ranging from 1,000 to 2,650 bushels (approximately 25 to 67 metric tons) per hour, suitable for various farm and commercial grain drying needs.​

Which types of grains can Meyer Tower Dryers dry?

Meyer Tower Dryers are versatile and suitable for drying common grains such as corn, wheat, soybeans, and others, with different drying modes enhancing efficiency and quality.​

What drying modes does the Meyer Tower Dryer have?

The dryer uses multi-mode drying technology, including pressure heat and suction cooling, which improves fuel efficiency and drying capacity while protecting grain quality.​

How does the Meyer Tower Dryer protect grain quality?

Features like the MOISTURE EQUALIZER® system minimize kernel stress cracking and maximize test weight by ensuring uniform moisture removal and temperature equalization during drying and cooling.​

What fuel types does the Meyer Tower Dryer use?

The dryers typically use natural gas or LP vapour, with optional fuel oil burners, to provide even, efficient heat distribution throughout the drying process.​

What safety and operational features come standard?

Standard features include computerized touchscreen controls for ease of operation, self-cleaning grain-receiving chambers, internal temperature sensors, and industrial-grade components for reliable performance.​

How energy efficient are Meyer Tower Dryers?

Meyer Tower Dryers are designed for fuel efficiency, using technologies such as suction cooling that recycle cooling air and reduce energy consumption while maintaining drying performance.​

How is grain unloaded from the dryer?

The dryer includes an Accu-trol Metering System that ensures positive, uniform grain flow and easy clean-out, minimizing downtime and maintenance.
