- All bin surfaces are smooth to provide excellent material flow characteristics
- Bin walls are provided as factory preassembled panels that are up to 25-feet high to significantly reduce field assembly time
- Almost the entire bin system is assembled using high strength fasteners
- To protect against damage to the protective coatings on galvanized or aluminized steel, no welding is used to manufacture the walls
- Welding is only used in the roof area to provide superior protection against water penetration
- Interior wall spaces are ventilated to help prevent the buildup of dust and moisture which can cause corrosion — It also permits effective fumigation if ever required
- A highly refined hopper to wall connection using mechanical fasteners eliminates field fitting and welding in this area — This greatly reduces assembly time and preserves the protective coatings on the steel
- Field assembly time is also substantially reduced by the use of blind fasteners mounted into plain holes — This eliminates the requirement to have two people installing bolts and the problems associated with thread damage to threaded connections
