Union Iron - Temp-Stor 20

Union Irons Temp-Stor containment system can be set up in any available space

such as a parking lot or open field where it can later be disassembled for storage

returning the space to its originally intended use. The modular design allows the

containment geometry to be changed easily as conditions affect the required volume.

The storage area can be filled by a tower, portable auger or belt conveyor.

The system can be installed on uneven surfaces due to the modular design.

The minimum site preparation is a packed pad of 100 mm of crushed limestone.

Excavation, engineered site preparation and placement of concrete or compacted fill

is not required in most cases.

Modular storage

built in one day


21/32


A typical installation (8,856 tonnes) containing a 30.5 m x 91.4 m x 1.2 m

(100' x 300' x 4') containment wall system can be shipped in one container and

installed by four workers in 16 hours. The wall modules are assembled in 3 m long

sections in sizes from 1.2 m to 2.7 m. Just unfold the legs and bolt them in position.

Temp-Stor aeration systems and reinforced polyethylene tarps preserve the

condition of stored grain to the same degree provided by bin storage.

The primary purpose of aeration is the temperature control of grain while

preventing spoilage, allowing high moisture grain to be stored safely until it is

convenient to be dried even well after harvest has been completed. Grain

Guard and Keho aeration systems move a low volume of air through the crop,

dissipating heat and preventing hot spots that cause spoilage.

Aeration Accessories:

Aeration floor

Roof and wall vents

Flat storage aeration solutions

Heaters

The inclusion of low temperature grain dryers allow 24 hour grain drying when

high humidity conditions prevail. The heaters are easily installed between the

fan and the bin. In some cases, natural drying of the crop can be achieved with

high air flow and favourable climatic conditions.
