Stirring Note: Shutting off machine allows grain to “set mixes grain throughout bins. up” around augers during inactivity. If machine  Drying faster. Stirring allows the use of higher has been idle for more than two days, take care drying temperatures.

  • Page 36 3,500-rpm centrifugal fans are recommended. Use of Sukup software with a personal computer is recommended to ensure optimal fan is selected for the application. Select a fan according to the manufacturer’s rating tables to deliver required air volume at expected static pressure.
  • Page 37 Heater Selection Major considerations in heater selection are temperature rise required, type of fuel, heater placement and heater controls. Temperature rise is the difference between ambient (surrounding air) temperature and plenum temperature. Use one of the following formulas to determine heater required: Btu/hr = Temp.
  • Page 38 32°F (0°C), and 1 million Btu/hr (292 kW) is required. See Sukup heater manual for sizes of propane tanks required when using vapor propane. When seeking to use natural gas as fuel, contact gas company to determine whether adequate line pressure is available for operation.

  • Page 39: Drying Guidelines To Prevent Bin Wall Spoilage

    Steps must be taken to ensure moisture is properly removed and to prevent spoilage along bin walls:  Install Sukup Airway tubes, which pipe air from bin plenum to areas along bin wall where it is needed most, working like a defrosting system on a vehicle’s windshield. Sukup Airways consist of a system of 10’...

  • Page 40: Drying Precautions

     Do not combine drying equipment from multiple companies. Sukup heaters are designed to be used with Sukup fans only. Sukup heaters have a variety of automatic controls to shut them down in case of ignition failure, high temperature limits or airflow failure. Combining equipment from various companies may result in a lack of safety controls needed to cut power.

  • Page 41: Managing Stored Grain

    ANAGING TORED RAIN Basic Principles Grain will deteriorate faster as temperature and moisture content increase. Using corn as an example, Table 16 illustrates just how quickly grain can spoil even with proper aeration. Table 16 - Allowable Storage Times for Aerated, Shelled Corn Corn Moisture Grain Temp Days Before Spoilage...

  • Page 42: Grain Storage

    Under certain conditions, as shown above, no matter how long fan is operated, grain may not reach desired moisture content that will allow it to be stored without spoilage. Keep in mind that air temperature and relative humidity are not constant. Use daily averages for determining final moisture content. Table 18 shows recommended aeration when storing grain for short periods in a wet holding tank at various moisture contents.
  • Page 43 Each of these problems can be minimized with good grain management practices. Short-Term Storage of Wet Grains Sukup Manufacturing Co. defines wet corn as that with 16% or higher moisture content. Temperatures will not remain constant because wet corn releases heat that increases its temperature, which can rapidly lead to hot spots and grain deterioration.
  • Page 44 Figure 48 - Bin Coring Diagram Coring of bin should be performed by unloading grain periodically (e.g. each time several feet of new grain is added) as shown in Figure 48. Coring in this manner pulls down grain peak. Coring during initial filling also removes a major amount of fines and foreign material - more than if the bin is cored after it is filled.

  • Page 45: Aeration

    In spring and summer months when outside air warms up, moisture migration may occur in opposite way and moisture will accumulate at bottom of bin. Sukup Manufacturing Co. recommends the following steps for proper grain storage: Transitions must be properly sealed at both ends to prevent air loss. Air and pressure loss may occur with improper installation.

  • Page 46: Addressing Grain Storage Problems

    Cooling Grain for Winter Storage Crops should be kept near average outdoor temperatures during fall using airflow. Increasing airflow rate reduces time needed for cooling or warming, but also increases power requirements. Begin aeration to reduce grain temperature when average outdoor temperature is about 10°F to 15° F (6°C to 8° C) lower than grain temperature.

  • Page 47: Bin System Upkeep

    While climbing ladder, check for any worn out or loose rungs, loose or missing bolts, and dangerous jagged edges protruding from the ladder or safety cage. Determine the cause and fix or replace appropriately. Contact Sukup Manufacturing Co. if sheared bolts are discovered, as they may be an indication of a more serious problem.
  • Page 48  If for any reason you find buckled sheets, sidewall bulges, or any unusual changes in the bins appearance, please contact Sukup Manufacturing Co. to consult with an engineer and determine the problem and solution. Replacement Parts To replace any deteriorated parts such as bin sheets and flooring, contact your local dealer/distributor. Do not substitute materials for replacement parts.
