BULK FEED TANKS AND GRAIN HOPPER TANKS FARM HOPPER TANKS

PROVEN & DEPENDABLE Only GSI feed tanks feature the exclusive, patented Auto-Lok ground control access system for opening, closing and latching the fill cap safely and easily from the ground. The cap swings open a full 180° to lie flat and parallel to the ground, completely eliminating interference with, or damage to, the cap from the auger. Bulk Feed Tanks also feature an optional hopper valve for for accessing small amounts of material to a location not serviced by the auger system. GSI manufactures roofs from prime, high tensile, galvanized steel. The higher tensile steel adds up to 20%...

BULK FEED TANKS (BFT) BFTs are a popular way of storing feed due to their ease of installation, lower expansion cost and convenient hopper unloading. Several of these tanks can be installed to store a variety of grains and the sealed roof and body design helps protect grain/feed from moisture damage. GSI Bulk Feed Tanks are available in 6', 7', 9', 12', and 15' diameters and range in capacities up to 2678 bu. (60.52 MT). GRAIN HOPPER TANKS (GHT) GHTs are able to support slightly heavier loads than typical ground feed bulk tanks. Grain Hopper Tanks can be used for temporary storage, adapted...

FARM HOPPER TAN KS RIGID AUGER A complete line of rigid augers and accessories are available for high capacity material handling. In 4”, 6”, and 8” diameters, and lengths from 11' to 21', the GSI rigid auger can be configured to meet the most demanding applications, with capacities up to 2100 BPH. THE SOLID CHOICE GSI precision formed, galvanized coated, high tensile steel sidewall sheets provide outstanding strength and durability. Optional fully die-formed side ladders with dimpled non-skid rungs provide convenient access to the tank. LEGS & ANCHORS GSI tanks are supported by our fully...

FA R M H O P P ER TA N K S UNLOADER SYSTEMS STRAIGHT DROP BOOT CLEAR STRAIGHT DROP BOOT GSI offers several unloader systems including single, twin, tandem and twin tandem models. Augers can be direct or belt driven by a 1/3 to 1-1/2 horsepower, totally enclosed fan cooled motor at a standard 358 RPM (other speeds are available for special applications). Additional grain handling accessory equipment is available including extension systems to adjust auger lengths, time clocks, automatic shut-off switches, intermediate drop kits and y-drops. GSI’s 16” (406mm) parabolic boot (available in...

COMPLETE YOUR GSI SYSTEM MATERIAL HANDLING Grain in the overhead chamber is dried by a large fan and heater then dumped to a holding area below. An aeration fan below captures heat from this previously dried grain, and pushes it upward to help dry the next load. This recycling of heat increases efficiency, which greatly reduces drying costs. GSI’s material handling line includes bucket elevators, chain conveyors, belt conveyors, bin unloads, and chain loops. Also available are towers, catwalks, and support structures. Today’s farm operations have greatly varied needs for their drying...
