2. SAFETY EASYDRY® WIDE-CORR CENTURION® GRAIN BIN – GRAIN BIN DRYER 2.10. Bin Entrapment It takes more than 1000 lb (4.5kN) of force to remove someone buried below the surface. The following sections cover common ways a person gets submerged or trapped: 2.10.1 Flowing Grain This procedure may also apply to fertilizer where the bin is intended for fertilizer storage.
2. SAFETY EASYDRY® WIDE-CORR CENTURION® GRAIN BIN – GRAIN BIN DRYER 2.10.2 Collapse of Bridged Grain This procedure may also apply to fertilizer where the bin is intended for fertilizer storage. • Grain can “bridge” across a bin, creating an empty air space below. A person can easily break through this bridge and become trapped, risking suffocation.
2. SAFETY EASYDRY® WIDE-CORR CENTURION® GRAIN BIN – GRAIN BIN DRYER 2.10.3 Collapse of a Vertical Wall of Grain This procedure may also apply to fertilizer where the bin is intended for fertilizer storage. • Vertical walls of grain are created when the bin is partially empty. Poking at the wall can make the grain avalanche and submerge a person.

43,500 lbs. per sq. in. (300 MPa) re-bar. The foundation designs included in this manual are suggestions only, and will vary according to local soil conditions. Westeel will not assume any liability for results arising from their use.
5. Openings shall be sealed all the way around for all weather conditions. 6. Instructions shall be followed closely to avoid damage to bin structure. 7. Except cutting openings described below, any other modification to Westeel bins shall be approved by a professional engineer.
1. Comply with all local code and jurisdictional requirements applicable to your grain dryer installation. 2. Design and build foundations with the necessary strength for the loads they must support, and for local soil conditions. Westeel foundation guidelines are based on specific stated conditions and may not be applicable to local conditions.
This will assist in preventing any further moisture from contacting the Brace parts properly so as to avoid damage or injury from material falling when in storage. (See Detail D in galvanizing on the steel. Due to safety concerns with installation and use, Westeel does Parts Become Wet...
• Never enter a loaded grain bin for any reason. Grain can be a killer. 4.10. Important Notes • Westeel does not provide a foundation design for this product, and is not liable for any damages or injuries related to inadequately designed or constructed foundations. Customers must contract professional services for all foundation design and construction work.
5. PREPARATION EASYDRY® WIDE-CORR CENTURION® GRAIN BIN – GRAIN BIN DRYER 5. Preparation 5.1. Check Shipment Unload the parts at the assembly site and compare the packing slip to the shipment. Ensure that all items have arrived and that none are damaged. Report damaged parts or shortages immediately to the delivering carrier, followed by a confirming letter requesting inspection by the carrier, if required.
In cases where additional loading is involved, if you do not already have specific recommendations from Westeel, contact Westeel Engineering Department before installation begins. Important Do not install the AGI APEX Control System programmable logic controller (PLC), or human machine interface (HMI) near anything having a strong electromagnetic field such as large power transmission lines or transformers.

6.39. Lifting Wide-Corr® Bins with Cranes The table below lists the maximum height and weight limits for each diameter of bin which Westeel approves for lifting by the roof using a crane. These limits assume that the total lifted load is evenly distributed around the peak ring, through the use of a lifting tripod or similar device of adequate strength.
8. For a non-structural roof that is supporting a catwalk, install six flat cap clips (213437) as shown in the Westeel catwalk manual 213440. These clips are provided in the Westeel catwalk peak support modules. Ensure that the roof cap is fully secured around the peak ring.

7. OPERATION EASYDRY® WIDE-CORR CENTURION® GRAIN BIN – GRAIN BIN DRYER 7. Operation Before continuing, ensure you have completely read and understood this manual’s Safety section, in addition to the safety information in the section(s) below. 7.1. Operation Safety • Always try to solve problems without entering a grain dryer from the inspection hatch or filler cap.
When using multiple fans in one bin, you must prevent reverse rotation of idle fans by making certain fans start- up simultaneously or by employing shutters that shield blades from moving air. Reverse rotation of idle fans pose concerns for the worker safety and fan/motor wear and tear. Contact your Westeel dealer for the appropriate size shutter.
7. OPERATION EASYDRY® WIDE-CORR CENTURION® GRAIN BIN – GRAIN BIN DRYER 1. Check for damage or unusual wear, especially on flighting and bearings. 2. Make sure there are no obstructions in the following locations: • sweep path along the bin floor bin sweep and underfloor auger flighting •...
7. OPERATION EASYDRY® WIDE-CORR CENTURION® GRAIN BIN – GRAIN BIN DRYER Opening the inspection hatch on an overfilled plenum can cause grain to spill out, creating a potential falling hazard. Figure 123. Filling Process PLENUM STORAGE 5. Close access and fill points after filling (where applicable). 6.
The result of these checks allow the operator to modify his drying and storage procedures before any grain goes out of condition. Westeel recommends probing for moisture content and temperature at least once a week during storage.
7. OPERATION EASYDRY® WIDE-CORR CENTURION® GRAIN BIN – GRAIN BIN DRYER Do not unload grain off-center as this can cause structural damage to the grain dryer, possible collapse, or injury to bystanders. Figure 124. Unloading Operation 7.9. Cleanout Important The grain dryer should be cleaned thoroughly to lessen the risk of fire, insect infestation, and mold growth.
Fasteners Bolts and nuts used in Westeel grain dryers are specialty hardware that are an inherent part of the overall grain dryer design, and cannot be reliably replaced with different hardware, including those that might by specification appear to be of equivalent design or strength.
• Check all connections between catwalk and supports for bent braces and loose bolts. Repair as necessary. • Check ladder for any worn-out or loose rungs, loose or missing bolts. Repair as necessary. If sheared bolt is discovered, contact Westeel. It may be an indication of a more serious problem. 8.2.4 Stiffeners, Sidewalls, and Doors •...
8. MAINTENANCE EASYDRY® WIDE-CORR CENTURION® GRAIN BIN – GRAIN BIN DRYER • Be sure the base of the grain dryer is uniformly resting on foundation and sealant is intact. If gaps occur, caulk between bottom of grain dryer and foundation. 8.3.
