Hopper Tanks Behlen

ADEPT GROUP is exclusive distributor of grain storage equipment Behlen in the CIS.

Behlen Hopper Tanks are designed using state-of-the-art Computer Assisted Design (CAD) techniques to ensure ease of assembly and trouble-free operation. All components are designed to exacting standards with strength and ease of erection in mind. These tanks are built to last even in demanding, high through put operations.

Structural I-beams provide the backbone for the support system with sample length to allow plenty of room for unloading equipment. Stiffeners fasten to ridge compression members directly above the sturdy I-beam legs. These legs are secured by a heavy X-bracing system. This configuration is one of the strongest available.

Capacity hopper tanks (depending on model) is from 110 to 1965 cubic meters, or from 88 to 1572 tons (Typical Grain Densities: wheat approximately 50 lbs./ft3 (800kg/m3); corn approximately 45 lbs./ft3 (720kg/m3); rice approximately 36 lbs./ft3(580kg/m3)).
Diameter: 5 to 11 meters. Height: 8.5 to 25.5 meters.

Uniquely designed wall system

The sidewall contains four rows of high-strength 3/8” (grade 8.2) bolts per vertical seam which means extra strength and rigidity. Unique trapezoidal wall panels have been computerized to provide outstanding strength. Their unique design permits bolting of flat surface to flat surface for a tighter, more waterproof connection.

Unmatched roof system

Behlen roofs are manufacturer certified to withstand 20 lbs./sq. ft. live load, inward or outward. Gentle 30° roof pitch allows for optimum filling.

Stiffeners offer exceptional load carrying capabilities

Superior design of bearing plate between stiffeners assures a continuous vertical load transfer with a simple bolted connection. Strong galvanized, hatshaped wall stiffeners provide excellent resistance to vertical grain loads and wind.
