Product catalog summary
Overview: This document outlines the specifications and features of aeration and conditioning equipment by AGI and AIRLANCO, designed to prevent grain spoilage by managing airflow and temperature in storage bins.
Specifications:
  • Fan Models: Various fan models are detailed, each with specific horsepower and airflow capacities measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM) at different static pressures. Models include CL, GGL, CH, GGF, GGI, GGX, etc.
  • Fan Types: Fans are categorized into low speed centrifugal, high speed centrifugal, in-line centrifugal, and axial fans, each optimized for different static pressure ranges and storage conditions.
Features:
  • AGI Features: Fans feature galvanized or powder-coated steel housing, TEFC motors, precision-balanced airfoil blade wheels, adjustable feet, and weatherproof electrical controls.
  • AIRLANCO Features: Includes painted steel housing with backward incline wheels and options for single and two-stage fans with shatter-resistant aluminum alloy propellers.
Heaters:
  • Low Temperature Heaters: Designed for slight temperature increases to reduce humidity, with temperature rise ranges from 5°C to 15°C (10°F to 30°F), including safety features and adjustable airflow baffles.
  • High Temperature Heaters: Suitable for efficient drying with temperature rise ranges from 15°C to 80°C (30°F to 140°F), featuring adjustable vaporizers and safety mechanisms.
Rocket Aeration Systems:
  • The Rocket & Retro Rocket: Facilitate conditioning and natural air drying, providing uniform airflow and minimizing static pressure, designed for easy installation and high airflow capacity.
Key Data:
  • Performance Tables: Extensive tables detail fan performance across various models, horsepower, and static pressures, aiding in equipment selection.
  • Heater Specifications: Detailed specifications include fuel type, control type, recommended fan, and BTU output for operational guidance.
Horizontal Duct System: Designed for hopper bottom bins, suitable for 14' to 24' hoppers, featuring downward-facing louvers and modular sections for various bin diameters.
Specifications: Includes modular sections of 3', 4', 6', 7', and 8', with duct diameters of 18" and 24", a maximum bin wall height of 22', and a maximum hopper angle of 40°.
Performance: Airflow capacity ranges from 679 CFM to 2531 CFM, depending on section size and duct diameter, with varying contact areas for effective air distribution.
Wall Vents: Enhance aeration by reducing static pressure, thus reducing drying time by removing moisture from the lower bin half.
Adaptors and Transitions: AGI offers a variety of adaptors and transitions for all fan types, suitable for both flat bottom and hopper bottom bins.
Quonset System: Modular design allows flexible configurations for conditioning grain piles, with round bin floor systems for 14’ to 30’ bin diameters.
Optional Accessories: Includes shutters, silencers, engineered fan supports, static pressure gauges, and plenum thermometer kits for improved aeration decisions.
Safety and Compliance: Emphasizes safety, advising users to read and understand the operator’s manual and safety decals. Proper maintenance and adherence to safety guidelines are crucial.
