Section 2 – Bin Erection

Chief Industries, Inc. will not assume any responsibility for parts damaged due to faulty or

improper erection procedures.

Chief Industries, Inc. recommends that Bin Jacks be used for all bins taller than 8 rings

and all bins larger than 30’ in diameter.

WARNING:

The allowable lifting capacity of the BIN JACKS must never be exceeded. Always check Bin

weight to insure a safe and trouble free erection.

Grain Bin Color Codes

Chief Grain Bins are color coded based on bin diameter. Components such as Roof Rafters,

Wind Rings, and Base Angle will be marked with the following Color Codes to help identifythem.

Bin Size Color Code Bin Size Color Code

#12 Yellow/Black #22 Blue#13 Green/Black #24 Brown

#14 Orange/Black #26 Yellow

B. Checking Shipment

Check your shipment at the time of pickup and delivery against the packing list furnishedwith the shipment. If a shortage exists or if any damaged material is evident, note such

shortage or damage on the freight bill before you sign for the shipment.

Claims of shortages will not be honored after thirty days from receipt of shipment.Parts that are short or damaged are the responsibility of the delivering carrier, not the

manufacturer or dealer.

It is advisable to reorder damaged or missing parts immediately so that there will be nodelay in erecting the bin. After receiving the invoice for the reordered material, file a

claim with the delivering carrier at once.

The galvanized panels leave our plant in prime condition; store off the floor in a heatedroom if possible. If stored outside, place panels down, off the ground. Upon arrival of

shipment if you are not certain whether or not moisture is present, store panels on edge or

on end allowing 1/4“ air space between panels until dry. Exposure to trapped moisture

can cause white rust, which will void the warranty.

C. Stop and Study

Before beginning erection of the bin, take the time to thoroughly study the construction

methods in this manual. It will save you both time and money.

Important: The peak load capacities listed under Auxiliary Roof Loads must not be exceeded. If your

application will exceed the listed values, contact Chief Industries for recommendations.

Chief Industries makes no warranty concerning parts, accessories or equipment notmanufactured by Chief Industries.

D. Site Selection

Choose a site that has good drainage away from the bin so that water will not stand around

the bin. The soil should be firm and preferably without fill. If fill is required, water andcompact the fill material to avoid uneven settlement. A field investigation of the soil bearing conditions is recommended especially for larger grain bins where the foundation

loads and floor pressure become large. A licensed engineering firm should be employed to

take soil borings, determine the maximum allowable soil pressure and design the binfoundations and floor slab accordingly.


17/100


E. Bin Jack Erection

Position the structure you provided to hold the Inner Ring at its approximate height,centering the Inner Ring on the center of the Bin.

Use at least one Bin Jack per Sidewall Sheet. (For example, on the #18 Bin, use 18 BinJacks, etc.)

The application of one bin jack per sidewall sheet will minimize sidewall distortion duringerection. Failure to use the proper quantity of jacks may result in inward-outward lay of the bin

sidewall or even permanent distortion of the bin sidewall sheets.

The recommendation of at least one Bin Jack per sidewall sheet is based on keeping the bin

round, refer to the warning below, and make sure the lifting capacity of the jack is

sufficient for the weight of the bin. Note that all jacks may not shift equally, Therefore

make sure the lifting capacity rating by the jack manufacturing is met.

WARNING:

If it is necessary to leave the construction site for any length of time before the Bin is

completed and anchored to the concrete, the Bin must be securely tied down.


18/100


F. Assembling Sidewall Sheets

All bolts are washer head bolts with sealing washers S.A.E. Grade 8, with whiz flangenuts. Grade 8 bolts are marked with six radial lines on the bolt head as shown. If these

descriptions do not correspond with the bolts shipped with the bin, please contact the

customer service department immediately. Do not substitute any other Bolts.

Bin bolts must be TIGHT. The following table contains recommended minimum and

maximum torque values.

BOLT DIA. TORQUE FT. LBS

(INCHES) MINIMUM MAXIMUM

5/16" 22 28

7/16" 60 75

Tighten the bin bolts from the inside of the bin (nut end of the bolt) to eliminate “spin

off” of the sealing washer.

USE ONLY THOSE BOLTS SUPPLIED BY CHIEF INDUSTRIES.

THE SUBSTITUTION OF BOLTS FROM OTHER SOURCES IS NOT PERMITTED.

NOTE: Proper bolting sequence MUST be followed at all times.


19/100


The Titan Sign Sheet must be installed in the second ring as shown in figures below.

(Shown installed on a 2 stiffened bin)

(Shown installed on a 3 stiffened bin)

Install the Titan Sign Sheet by field drilling (6) six ½” holes in the Titan Sign Sheet and

stiffeners as shown above. Bolt the Titan Sign Sheet to the stiffeners with (6) six 7/16” bolts.


20/100


Assembling top ring

Locate the proper gauge of sidewall sheets needed for the top ring from the gauge chart. Lap andcaulk sheets as shown below. Locate top stiffeners and install on top ring.

Note: Top Sheets have special punching on the top of the sheet at the stiffener holes for therafter to attach to. Leave bolts out of top (4) stiffener holes until eave brackets are

attached.

Wipe off the outside ends of all the Sidewall Sheets to remove excess oil so that the StripCaulking will adhere to the metal. Place the Strip Caulking as near to the vertical inside edge of

sheet at every vertical seam.

On Bins 12 gauge or heavier a horizontal strip of caulking is needed on the inside at the center

bottom of the Sidewall sheet located on the hill near to the bottom holes. This strip of caulking

should fit where the endlap of the next ring Sidewall Sheets bolts up to this location.


21/100


G. Roof Panel Location

The rafters need to be bolted directly behind a top 2 ring stiffener, the roof panel rib will line updirectly above the rafter from the peak to the eave. (There is 1 Rafter and 4 roof panels per

sidewall sheet.)


22/100


H. Crane and Jack Capacities

Crane Capacity:

The total roof dead load for each of the respective bin roof sizes is shown in the table below.

This weight includes the roof panels and all structural members (roof beams, compression rings, bolts, ect.)

When determining the crane capacity necessary to erect the roof structure, the booming distancemust be considered. If the cane sizes available will not lift the roof structure (using one crane),

two cranes may be used, utilizing a spreader bar. The spreader bar must be adequately designed

to carry the entire roof dead weight.

Peak Heights

All peak heights listed below are to the bottom of the peak ring from the ground with (2) Titan

sidewall sheet rings installed. Deduct 42 1/2” from the peak heights when only one ring of

sidewall sheets are installed.

Model Peak Height

CB18 20’ - 8 7/8” CB20 22’ – 6 5/16”

7. Do Not Weld Goose neck vent to roof as rusting will result.


56/100


B. Low Profile Roof Vents

1. Install the Screen and clips on the roof vent body using 5/16” x 3/4” bin bolts, nuts and flatwashers as shown below. The bolt heads should be on the outside of the vent with the

washers and nuts on the inside (against the screen).

2. Locate the roof vent assembly on the roof panel (over the manhole) by aligning the holes inthe clips with the corresponding holes in the lower end of the roof panel.

3. Mark the outline of the roof vent with a marking pencil so that the vent can be returned to the

same position after the caulking is applied.

4. Remove the vent from the roof panel, turn upside down, and apply caulking to the mounting

surface of the sides and top.

5. At this time, install and tighten three 5/16” x 3/4” bin bolts and nuts in the holes directly

above and below the manhole (in the roof panel to prevent leakage).

6. Locate the roof vent on the roof panel in its original position and attach with the #14 x 3/4”

self-drilling screws provided. If a screw gun is not available, use the holes in the vent as a

guide and drill 3/8” holes through the vent and roof panel, and attach with 5/16” x 3/4” bin bolts and nuts.

7. Install 5/16” x 3/4” bin bolts and nuts in the clips and bottom of screen as shown in detail on

previous page.

8. Tighten all bolts securely.

NOTE: Roofs with structural beams may require field installation of angles between beams at both top and bottom of manhole opening if 20 PSF or 30 PSF live loading is required.

Section 5 – Temperature Cables

A.

General Considerations

Follow temperature cable manufacturer’s recommendations for installation of temperaturecables. Be sure to allow adequate clearance for sweep augers or other internal equipment.

All temperature cables should be stabilized at floor level, to prevent cables from drifting out

towards the sidewall as bin is being filled. The use of light twine or monofilament linedouble wrapped and secured to a recessed anchor, is a common practice.

Provide adequate sealant where temperature cable leads exit the bin.

Support of temperature cables by any means other than Chief Industries’ recommended

brackets may cause structural damage to the bin roof and will nullify the Chief Grain Bin

Warranty.

Note: Structured Roo fs are designed for a maximum load of 2,000 lbs. per

temperature cable. If this lo ad is exceeded, this may cause structural damage to

the bin ro of and wi l l nul l i fy the Chief Grain Bin Warranty.

NOTE: Proper Bolting Sequence Must Be Followed At All Times.

(1) Tighten bolts in top 2 rings and top stiffeners.

(2) Select sheets of the proper gauge for the 3rd ring of the bin. Select proper gauge and

length of stiffeners.

(3) Install stiffener splice plates, to both ends of stiffeners with (2) 7/16” x 1-1/4” Bin

Bolts and whiz flange nuts per splice before securing the stiffener to the bin. Note: On

top stiffeners, splice plate is only required on the bottom end of the stiffener.

(3) Wipe excess oil from ends of the sheets and apply caulking as shown below

(4) Loosely assemble 3rd

ring

(5) Loosely install stiffeners of the proper gauge to the exterior of the bin with 7/16” bin

bolts. Stiffener bolts are always placed with heads inside the bin. Using large

alignment punch, force stiffener up so that splices are tightly compressed. Tighten (4)four bolts in 3

rd ring to keep stiffeners compressed. Loosely install the (2) 7/16” x 1-

1/4” bolts connecting the stiffener splices to the stiffener splice plate above.

Note:

Blocks may be used to place under the stiffener splices to compress the stiffener splices.

Note:

Install bolts on sidewall sheets seam that are in the center of stiffener holes before installing

next stiffener.

E. Heavy Bin Stiffener Anchor

(1) All bins will have ALL 2 ring bottom stiffeners. Stiffened bins may have two or threeStiffeners per sidewall sheet depending upon bin size and height.

(2) Bolt anchor brackets to 2-ring bottom stiffeners. DO NOT fully tighten, only finger

tighten at this time.

(3) After the bottom ring is attached, lower the bin carefully, placing all anchor bracketsover the anchor bolts.

(4) When full weight of the bin is on the concrete, shim the anchors as necessary bysliding shim plates between the concrete and anchor bracket. All anchors must be

bearing upon the concrete or shimmed so that full bearing of the anchor is developed.

NOTE: Anchors placed over aeration trenches must be supported from the bottom of the

trench.

After all anchors brackets are shimmed snuggly, place two square washers over theanchor bolt and tighten.

Plastic cement or tar sealant should be applied from inside the bin to seal the bottom ring

to concrete. (NOTE: Sealant is not furnished by Chief Industries, INC.)

F. Transition Stiffeners

Aeration Trough Transition Stiffener Installations (for flush-floor aeration systems with two ormore fans)

(1)

The formed concrete dimensions and the anchor bolt placement are important for the correctinstallation of the transition stiffeners. When forming the concrete, the aeration troughs

should be located as specified in Chief’s aeration layout. The anchor bolt locations for the bin

need to be oriented to make sure that the number of anchors over the aeration trough isminimized. When installing the anchor bolts, the bolt radius and bolt chord must be correct

and they must also be placed according to the details below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT install the anchor bolts inside the aeration trench at this

time.

2 Stiffener/Sheet Bins 3 Stiffener/Sheet Bins

(2) When the bin is erected and located correctly (as illustrated above), insert the transition in the

aeration trough. Using the hole in the anchor bracket as a guide, drill a 3/4” hole through the

top of the transition. Slide the transition stiffener inside the transition and line it up with the previously drilled hole. Loosely install the 5/8” x 1-1/2” A325 bolt. Rotate the transition

stiffener body so that it is centered under the bin wall anchor. See installation detail that

follows.

(3)

The transition stiffener must be attached to the foundation with two (2) 5/8” x 6” expansion-type anchor bolts. The holes for these anchor bolts should now be located. With an acetylene

torch, cut two holes in the bottom of the transition using the holes in the transition stiffener base plate as guides. (This would mark the location of the anchor bolts in the concrete as

well.)

(4) Remove the transition stiffener and the transition.


87/100


Aeration Trough Transition Stiffener Installation Detail

(5) Locate the two anchor bolt locations (from cutting the holes in the bottom of the transition).Set the transition stiffener over the locations to insure that the holes line up. Also, check to

insure that the transition stiffener is directly under and in line with the anchor. Make

adjustments if necessary. Drill the two holes for the 5/8” x 6” anchor bolts.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT install anchor bolts at this time.

(6) Enlarge the two holes in the bottom of the transition to 1” diameter.

(7) Reinstall the transition and slide the transition stiffener into position Loosely install the 5/8”

x 1-1/2” A325 bolt and rectangular washers at the anchor bracket location. The two 5/8” x 6”expansion-type anchor bolts should now be installed and securely tightened the 5/8” bolts at

the anchor bracket. Caulking should be applied to seal the transition.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Transition stiffeners support the bin anchors. The transition must also

be supported inside the bin. See Chief’s aeration layout for supporting the transition.

G. Stiffener Upgrades for Goal Post (Optional)

When a goal post is being attached to bin, an extra layer of stiffeners are laminated over standardstiffeners at goal post location from eave to base, as been is being erected.

Chief recommends that goal post be uniformly attached to at least the top 2 rings of tank at thestiffeners from bottom of 2

nd ring to top of 1

st ring.

Note: Listed below are the maximum loads that can be applied to upgraded stiffener columns.16GA stiffener upgrade = 5,000 lbs. per column

Section 8 – Wind Rings

A. Wind Rings

Consult the Chief catalog for the quantity of wind rings required for your bin. The quantity ofwind rings depends on the size of the bin and the application of any accessories (such as a

sidedraw system). For quantities and placement of wind rings required when a Sidedraw System

is installed on the bin, refer to the charts in this manual. The wind rings will be attached to thesidewall using one bracket per stiffener spaced 58-5/16” apart (38-7/8” on 3 stiffened bins). The

brackets are specially formed and prepunched to bolt directly to the sidewall stiffener holes. The

wind ring segments will be joined together using a bolted coupler.

NOTE: All wind ring segments are 248” long, and may need field cut to keep couplers in

between brackets. Always cut segments on end opposite end with pre-punched hole.

(1)

Working from outside the bin, determine the proper location for installation of the first windring.

(2) Bolt the first wind ring bracket to the sidewall stiffener holes as shown in Detail below using(2) of the stiffener attachment bolts and nuts with bolt heads on the inside. (Note: Wind ring

brackets may be installed below the endcaps if desired to allow for clearance of ladders and

platforms.)

(3) Move right to the next stiffener and repeat step 2.

(4) When 4 wind ring brackets have been installed, slide the first ring segment through the four

brackets leaving approximately 29 inches of the segment projection past the last bracket.

Insert coupler over end of wind ring segment, and attach with 5/8” x 4” bolt.


91/100


(5) Repeat step 2 through 3 until four more brackets have been installed.

(6) Slide another connector into the end of the previously installed ring segment. Slide the nextring segment through the four brackets and butt it firmly against the previous segment.

(7) Repeat steps 5 and 6 until only one ring segment remains to be installed. Installing the

final ring segment requires special procedures.

(8) Attach coupler to end of last wind ring segment.


92/100


(9) Slide coupler attach to segment over end of 1st segment so segments are bolted together.

(10) Field cut other end of segment so segments are flush.

(11) Slide last coupler and brackets over segments.

(12) Hold segments flush and slide coupler over joint and attach with 5/8” x 4” bolts. Attach

brackets to stiffeners

(15) Check to see that all bolts in the complete wind ring are tight

(16) Repeat steps 1 through 13 for the remaining wind rings.
