Specifications
This bin is designed along guidelines which allow it to provide the owner years of service
provided it is not used for purposes for which it was not intended. The sidewall gage
specifications for your bin appear on the sidewall sheet layout tables on pages 30 - 31.
The general material specifications for your bin are as follows.
[10]
10 BIN WALLS
All wall sheets are of corrugated, galvanized steel with 2.66” [67.56 mm] corrugation.
Wall sheets have 0.90 oz. [275 g/m2] per square foot zinc coating (G-90 designation).
2.66 corrugation sheets have 32” [812.8 mm] vertical coverage.
Horizontal coverage of wall sheets is 112-1/2” [2857.5 mm].
All light gage sidewall sheets have hill and valley bolting on vertical seams. Heavy gage
sheets have valley only bolting on vertical seams.
All 5/16” and 3/8” bin bolts are electro-galvanized grade 8.2 with self-sealing injection
molded washers.
DOORS
On 2.66 corrugated bins, a single 32” [813 mm] door is standard on all sizes and a (2) ring
64” [1626 mm] walk door is available as an option on most diameters. Further details on
both doors are found in the door installation pages of this manual, on pages 32 - 43.
The standard location for a 2.66” bin 32” door is in the second ring from the bottom, and
the standard location for the 64” door is in the second and third ring from the bottom.
All 64” doors have (3) inner panels and an outer door cover. All 32” doors have (2) inner
panels and an outer door cover.
For allowable door placements see the tables on pages 32 - 33. (1) ring doors are
placed in the second sidewall ring from the bottom. (2) ring doors are placed in the
second and third sidewall rings from the bottom.
On 24’ [7.36 m] diameter and smaller 2.66” corrugated bins, a (2) ring door with auger
panel opening is available. An auger shield is required at extra cost. All welds are of
non-rusting silicone bronze.
Grain Bin Sidewall 017061 2-09 [1]

DESIGN CRITERIA
Bins are designed to store free-flowing, noncorrosive whole grains with a bulk density of
48 lbs/ft3 [768.5 kg/m3] (60 lbs/bushel) or less.
Bins are designed to be filled through the center roof opening only, and to be emptied
from the center. Any off-center loadings should be used only for clean-out after discharge
has been complete to the angle of repose.
Sectional sweep augers with sections no longer than half the radius must be used on the
42’ [12.8 m] diameter and larger bins. The center section should be completely cleaned
out before the next auger section is added.
Have your builder make all non-bin equipment in excess of company’s
recommendations, like LEGS, WALK-WAYS, SPOUTING and CONVEYORS self
supporting.
WARNING! DO NOT OVERFILL THE BIN ROOF AREA! Overfilling the
bin roof area prevents proper air movement through roof vents and may also
cause roof damage or failure!
You must furnish the adequate ventilation area to match the Cubic Foot per Minute
output of the aeration fan installed on your bin. A rule of thumb would be, no more than
1000 Cubic Feet per Minute [30m3/min] per 1 Square Foot [0.093m2] vent opening.
WARNING! When you run your aeration fans, make certain your VENTS
ARE OPEN and kept clean of all debris and frozen matter. An aeration system
can, without proper management, create a greater load on a roof than
equipment or snow and can damage the roof.
WARNING! Installation of accessories or equipment in or on a grain
bin that would overstress the structure in any manner will void the Warranty.
If you do not have specific recommendations from Mfs/York/Stormor, where
additional loading is involved. Please contact Mfs/York/Stormor Engineering
Department before installing any such appurtenances or equipment.

Approximate torque levels for the fasteners that bolt your bin together are listed here. For
all these “bearing type” sidewall sheet connections, a “snug tight” condition is sufficient
to ensure structural soundness, where “snug-tight” is defined as the tightness attained by
several impacts on an impact wrench, or the full effort of a worker with an ordinary spud
wrench that brings the connected sheets into firm contact. A properly tightened bolt must
have its seal washer fully seated in the hole and the sheets fully drawn together to produce
a water-tight seal.
WARNING! ALWAYS LOAD OR UNLOAD THE BIN FROM THE CENTER!
This creates an even load on the structure. Only use your intermediate sumps
for clean-up. Off-center loading and unloading creates excessive STRESSES
and can cause failure. All bins should be filled at the center of the peak ring
with an auger or spout of adequate length to allow grain to drop straight down
into the bin. A leveling device is strongly recommended.
CHECK DELIVERY
Your bin has been carefully checked before shipment. However, you should check your
shipment upon arrival using the provided Packing List to insure it is complete.
CAUTION: All galvanized steel is subject to oxidation, sometimes called “white rust”
when exposed to moisture from any source. Plenty of care should be taken to protect
sidewall sheets and roof sheets. INSIDE STORAGE IS ADVISABLE. When on the job
site, sheets should be place on edge far enough apart to let air to circulate freely.
WARNING! Don’t cut openings in bins! This reduces the structural
strength of the unit and can cause partial or complete failure.

BIN SITE LOCATION
Check your site locations for possible problems with the following:
1 High wind or Snow load area
4 Local codes/permits
7 Railroads
2 Waterways and run off
5 Power lines
8 Seismic load
3 Poor soil conditions/soil problems
6 Highways
9 Hopper Bins
CHOOSING A BIN SITE
Consideration should be given to convenience in loading and unloading and accessibility to existing and
planned facilities. The site should be level, on firm soil, with adequate drainage. Any fill used in leveling
the site MUST BE well compacted to prevent uneven settling from weight of the foundation, bin and
contents. After the site is completely level, use 1” to 2” [25mm - 50mm] of fill sand to act as a cushion
under the concrete slab.
Standard foundation drawings and specs are furnished by MFS/YORK/STORMOR showing soil
bearing pressures required. It is the obligation of the purchaser to obtain a soil bearing test
and ascertain that the foundation has sufficient strength for a capacity filled bin. Unless
the finished foundation is level and true, and the site properly graded for water drainage, failure
of the foundation could result. This is not covered by the MFS/YORK/STORMOR warranty.
At the time your soil is being compacted and the foundation is being poured, make certain that the work
is being done in exact accordance with your soil engineer’s specifications. Remember - if your soil isn’t
right, your foundation could TIP AND CRACK - if your foundation isn’t right, your bin could fail.
The foundation drawings on the following pages are intended as a guide only and are not to be
interpreted as “firm” instruction. If at a later date, the bin
is increased in height, the foundation may not be adequate.
Anchor bolts should be to specifications and be set when pouring the foundation as improper
anchoring will give you a WEAK structure.
The bin is ROUND and to keep it round, the anchor bolts should follow a SCRIBED CIRCLE
with the correct chord dimensions between the anchor bolts.
Instructions
The base ring of the bin must rest firmly on the foundation with absolutely no overhang.
1. Lay out the foundation by driving a small pipe to mark the center of
the pad. The top of the pipe should be the height of the foundation.
2. Using the pipe for a center pivot, you can use a chain with a sharp
stake attached to the outer end to scribe on the ground the foundation
diameter. (A board may be used instead of the chain.)
3. After pouring the concrete, and while it is still soft, locate your
anchor bolts. Use the center pipe and chain again to mark the correct
diameter to set the anchor bolts. Use a measured chain (or chord) to
get the correct spacing between holes.

3 Concrete / Site Location
FOUNDATION NOTES:
1. The foundation site should be well drained and free of vegetation and/or debris.
2. Foundation(s) should be on undisturbed soil or engineered compacted backfill.
3. A soil and foundation (Geotechnical) investigation should be conducted for each site to
confirm the soil bearing capacity.
4. Foundation Design is based on the specified allowable soil bearing capacity.
5. The concrete shall have a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 psi at 28 days. a
6. Concrete should be allowed to cure 7 days before starting tank assembly and 28 days
before filling the bin.
7. Concrete should be kept level to ±1/8” in 10’ and 1/2” across the diameter. b High spots or
debris should be removed before setting the bin.
8. Anchor bolts need to be properly located based on the information provided in order to
keep the tank round, and to ensure structural integrity of the bin while guaranteeing effective
transfer of wall forces down to the foundation. Minimum recommended cast-in-place anchors
for standard conditions shall be A307 9” x 3” hooked bolts of the required diameter: 3/4”
for Commercial Flat-Bottom Bins (1” required for 60’ and larger bins with a side draw) and
Commercial Hopper Tanks, 5/8” for Unstiffened Grain Bins, and 1/2” for Unstiffened Hopper
Bins. The hook of the bolt must be placed below horizontal rebar for proper transfer of forces.
Alternately, a hex-head bolt with flat washers or an epoxy adhesive anchor of equivalent
strength may be used. Check with epoxy anchor vendor or manufacturer for strength ratings
and for proper installation instructions.
9. All reinforcing rod for concrete reinforcement shall conform to ASTM A615, Grade 60.
10. Rebar should lap a distance equal to (Rebar Dia. x 24). Minimum allowable lap is 18” - i.e: #6
Rebar has a diameter of 6/8”: 24 x .75” = 18”, or an 18” lap. c
11. Estimates for Rebar do NOT include allowances for the lap.
12. The stiffener and sidewall must be supported over tunnels.
13. Concrete yardage figures do NOT include any allowances for aeration trenches or tunnels.
14. Ring reinforcement must be continuous around the tunnels.
15. To help minimize potential frost heave, the bottom of the footings should be at or below the
frost line. Alternately, the footings could be supported on non-expansive fill materials (such as
crushed stone or gravel) which are not susceptible to frost heave, extending below the frost
line; however, some local building codes do require the footing to extend below the frost line.
16. Foundation Design is based on an allowable soil bearing capacity of 3,000 psf for unstiffened
Grain Bins and 3,500 psf for Commercial Stiffened Bins. d
17. The foundation details in this manual are to be considered general in nature and are intended
only as a guide. This design is for standard external loading conditions: 90 mph wind speeds
and seismic zone 0 earthquake loads. It is the owner’s responsibility to provide an appropriate
site and foundation design for the adequate support of the grain bin. MFS/YORK/STORMOR
assumes no responsibility for results arising from these suggestions. Check with the MFS
engineering department to obtain contact information for foundation design and soil testing

SIDEWALL SHEET IDENTIFICATION
The bin wall sheets are color coded at the ends on the bottom corners of the sheets for
simple reference as follows:

Color coding is on the bottom (2) corners of the sidewall sheet and a stamped sheet
identification mark is in the middle of the sheet between the color codes on the inside face.
To determine the number of sheets per ring, divide the bin diameter by (3):
ie: 36 diameter bin divided by 3 = 12 sheets per ring.

Plan for the location of the door, bin ladders, roof steps, manway, fans,
unload auger, accessories, and other equipment.
2
Complete the foundation. See the foundation section in the front part of the manual.
3
Arrange the sidewall sheets near the pad in preparation for assembly.
4
Assemble the top ring of sidewall sheets, making certain that sidewall sheets
overlap in the same direction.
5
Install the eave ring or (and) eave clips. Raise the peak ring to the correct
height on the center support (center jack) and assemble the roof.
6
Continue by raising the bin and installing additional sidewall sheet rings making
certain that sidewall sheets overlap in the same direction.
7
If your bin is equipped with them, install sidewall ladders or spiral stairs in the
proper location as the sidewall is being built.
8
Install the door in the second ring from the bottom (1 ring door) or second and
third ring from the bottom (2 ring door).
9
Install the bin hold down brackets to the base of the bottom sidewall sheets.
Install the base angle around the entire bin, applying the (optional) base sealer at
the same time if the bin comes with it. Lower the bin over the anchor bolts and
securely fasten it to the anchors.

TYPICAL INSTRUCTIONS
1 All sidewall sheets are color coded
for ease of construction. During
installation, position the sidewall
sheets so that the color codes are
on the bottom.
2 See the sidewall sheet layout tables on
pages 30 - 31 for sidewall sheet gage
and placement.
Sort the sidewall sheets by gage
according to the color code and sidewall
layout tables (pages 30 - 31). Stand the
sidewall sheets on edge in the order in
which they will be used on the bin pad
near the location where the sidewall will
be built. Read and follow the directions
on this page and the next page when
building the sidewall.
3 Always overlap the sidewall sheets
Sealer Tape at Sidewall Seams
in the same direction as shown
(example b, page 27).
4 Use (1) row of sealer tape at all vertical
seams and horizontally for 6” - 12”
[152mm - 305mm] from the end of each
sheet (example a). Wipe sheets clean
before applying the tape.

If your door is a Commercial
Door ignore the Ag Door
instructions and turn now to
page 38. Commercial Door
instructions start on that page.
The door placement pages show how to incorporate the door into the sidewall sheet
layout. Select the correct door layout to use with the type of door that was ordered with
the bin. Note whether the door sidewall ring being assembled has single punched sheets
(19ga through 13ga) or double punched sheets (12ga through 8ga), or a combination
of both. 1 ring doors are placed in the second ring from the bottom and 2 ring doors
are placed in the second and third rings from the bottom.
At the door location replace standard sheets with special length door sheets as shown
in your door layout drawing. In layout drawings, SP indicates a row of single punched
sheets and DP indicates a row of double punched sheets. The dimensions for the
special length sheets are an overall nominal length.

Anchor Hold Downs / 1-Ring Base Anchors
Instructions
See the next 6 pages for Anchor Hold Down Bracket, and 1-Ring Base Anchor Installation
examples and further instructions.
The Bin Hold Down Brackets, and 1-Ring Base Anchors for unstiffened farm bins can be installed per
the following criteria:
• Bins 15’ - 36’ [4.57m - 10.97m] diameter 1-9 rings tall shall have
(1) 1-Ring Base Anchor per sidewall sheet.
• 15’ - 36’ [4.57m - 10.97m] diameter 10-14 rings tall shall have (1) Hold Down Bracket and
(1) 1-Ring Base Anchor per sidewall sheet.
• 42’-60’ [12.80m - 18.29m] for all heights shall have (1) Hold Down Bracket and
(1) 1-Ring Base Anchor per sidewall sheet.
The brackets and base anchors need to be used in conjunction with an oversized washer supplied
by MFS to cover the hole. The anchor bolt is sold separately from the standard bin. The bolt needs
to include a nut and standard flat washer. All anchor bolts are 5/8” [16mm] diameter and 9” [229mm]
long with a 3 3/4” [95mm] leg “L” bolt. The material shall match an ASTM A307 threaded fastener
specification. The bolt projection should be no more than 2 1/2” [64mm].
(1) 1-Ring Base Anchor will be used at the vertical seam. If both base anchors and hold-down
brackets are required, the base anchor will be used at the vertical seam and the hold-down bracket
will be used at the center of the sheet.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact MFS/YORK/STORMOR.

Operation
CHECK THE FOLLOWING BEFORE THE FIRST BIN USE
[56]
56
1
All bolts are in place and properly tightened.
2
All ladders, handrails, platforms, and stairways are securely in place.
3
The bin has been properly anchored to the foundation.
4
Unloading equipment operates freely and all control gates are operable.
5
Temperature cables, if used, are fastened to the floor according to the
manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent displacement when filling.
6
The working areas around the bin are clean and with no clutter.
7
All guards and shields are in place.
8
Do not bypass or take shortcuts with electrical safety equipment.
9
Check electrical performance and install lock-outs on equipment.
10 Know who or where to call for immediate help in the event of an emergency
or injury.
FILLING THE BIN
1
Make certain everyone is out of the bin and before you start filling the bin.
2
It is generally acceptable to start aeration fans after a 2’ - 3’ [610mm-914mm]
depth has been obtained.
3
Continue to fill the bin to the desired level based on its use.
4
Maximum grain level should be 1” [2.54 cm] below the eave.
LOADING AND UNLOADING BINS
When you load or unload grain, always do it from the center! This creates an even load on the
structure. Only use your intermediate sumps for CLEAN-UP. Off-center loading or unloading
creates excessive STRESSES and can cause failure!
All bins should be filled at the center of the peak ring with an auger or spout of adequate
length to let grain drop straight down into the bin.

7 Operation
USE AND STORAGE
It is beyond the scope of this manual to instruct the operator in proper aeration procedures. We
advise that the operator consult with his state university and local extension service plus draw on his
own experience to best tailor his aeration operation to suit his needs. Below are several comments
that could prove helpful.
1
Proper air exhaust area must be provided during fan operation to prevent roof damage
(note decal installed on the outer door panel). Some sources recommend a minimum of
1 Square Foot [0.093m3] exhaust area for every 1000 CFM [30m3/min.] of air introduced
into the bin. We advocate the use of optional roof vents for this purpose as they are
weather and pest tight and let the operator to keep the roof manhole opening closed to
weather during operation. Vents should be regularly inspected to insure that they have not
been obstructed by chaff or ice during cold weather.
2
Proper air exhaust openings reduce the amount of condensation that occurs on the interior
of the roof sheets during operations. Condensation should be regularly checked to insure
that dripping into the top grain layer is not severe enough to cause spoilage.
3
Grain management is the key to proper drying and aeration of a stored crop. The fruits of your
year’s labor are in your storage bin. The good operator frequently checks the temperature
and moisture content of the grain during drying and storage operations. The result of these
checks allow the operator to modify his drying and storage procedures before any grain
goes out of condition. MFS/YORK/STORMOR recommends probing for moisture content
and temperature at least (1) time a week during storage.
4
It is normally advisable to aerate grain stored after drying for any period of time. It is
desirable to keep the stored grain within 15° F [9° C] of the ambient temperature to reduce
moisture migration and resultant heating spoilage. Most operations, however, will not
reduce the grain temperature below freezing. Reduction of the grain temperature within the
bin during the winter months also reduces insect activity and resulting damage.
5
Certain days are not conducive to aeration as the relative humidity may exceed the
equilibrium moisture content humidity of the stored grain, theoretically adding moisture
back into the kernel. Consult your local extension service for further information.
6
In areas of the country where ambient temperatures are not low enough to reduce winter
insect activity, it may be desirable to fumigate the stored grain. For proper and SAFE
fumigation techniques, consult your local extension service.
7
It is ALWAYS advisable to have (3) PEOPLE involved, (2) on the outside and (1) inside,
when entering a questionable bin/storage circumstance! The person in the bin should
be secured or fastened to a safety rope with the (2) persons outside capable of lifting that
person out without entering the bin. (1) person outside cannot do this, and cannot go for
help and maintain preliminary aid.

7 Operation
WARNING! DO NOT ENTER THIS BIN WHEN IT IS BEING
LOADED OR UNLOADED!
OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS NOTED IN THE
OPERATOR’S MANUAL!
58
UNLOADING THE BIN
1
Grain must be unloaded from the center of the bin to maintain uniform loading on the
sidewalls. Off center unloading may void the warranty of your bin. Center gates must be
opened first and the intermediate sumps must not be used until all the grain that will has
flowed by gravity through the center opening. If your center sump becomes blocked, consult
MFS/YORK/STORMOR Engineering Department for unloading recommendations. Heed
the warning decal on page 7 of this manual and on your access doors when unloading.
2
After all grain has flowed by gravity through the center unload sump, it is acceptable to
open and drain the intermediate sumps to create a valley near the door for installation and
starting of a sweep auger.
3
When inside the bin, installing a sweep auger or cleaning, LOCK OUT all unload equipment
power! NEVER enter a bin when unload equipment is operating, as you may become
entangled in the sweep or the unload auger! Failure to heed this warning may result in
serious personal injury or death!
4
MFS/YORK/STORMOR recommends on bins 42’ diameter and larger where (2) section sweep
augers are used, that the inner sweep section be used to make a preliminary pass around the
bin before using the full length sweep. This will result in more uniform stresses on the walls
and foundation anchorage of these larger bins.
5
Do not unload from the side discharge system and the center bottom discharge at the same
time. (Do not use (2) side-discharge systems to unload at the same time.)
