The EVO Grain Bin: A Modern Approach to Grain Storage

In today's competitive and evolving agricultural landscape, maximizing profitability while minimizing grain loss is more critical than ever. Efficient and reliable storage solutions are essential for ensuring grain quality and reducing operational costs.

Traditional grain storage systems can often fall short in addressing the unique challenges of maintaining dryness, quality control and operational efficiency–the very things needed in today’s demanding market. This leads to increased costs, grain quality deterioration and lost revenue. The innovative GSI EVO grain bin offers a modern approach to the demands of today’s grain storage challenges.

"Before EVO, the grain bin industry's structural designs hadn't seen significant innovation for decades," says Mat Tallman, Senior Product Manager for Storage at GSI. "Advances in drying technologies were made, but inefficiencies in moisture control and grain quality preservation persisted. We recognized the need for a more advanced storage system to address these critical challenges."

 

Why Advanced Grain Storage Systems are Needed

A competitive market, rising quality demands and increasing operational costs leave no room for inefficiencies in commercial grain storage.

  1. Protection against moisture: Excess moisture is the enemy of stored grain, leading to mold growth, spoilage and pest infestation. Effective moisture control in grain bin design mitigates these risks and safeguards grain quality.
  2. Optimized grain quality: Maintaining grain quality is essential for maximizing the marketability and profitability of stored grain over the long term. Compromised grain loses market value, faces rejection from buyers and can lead to financial losses.
  3. Operational efficiency: By minimizing the grain spoilage from moisture often seen in traditional bin design, users see a decreased amount of labor needed to clean out their commercial bins.

 

How the GSI EVO Grain Bin System Can Help

GSI, a leader in grain storage solutions, developed EVO to meet these industry needs. This innovative system features an optimized bolt pattern with fewer bolts, fewer vertical seams and zinc-coated hardware with water-tight seals, enhancing durability and grain protection.

  1. Fewer bolts, fewer holes: Bolts are central to the strength of the bin. The bolt pattern features a unique staggered design that requires fewer bolts, reducing the number of holes in the bin wall and minimizing the risk of water intrusion.
  2. Less steel, more strength: EVO 2X models double the length of each sidewall sheet on bins 90-foot diameter and above, eliminating half the vertical seams. By optimizing material use, the system uses less steel and enhances structural strength without sacrificing durability.
  3. Water-tight seals: The EVO System incorporates conical washers on sidewall nuts and bolts, improving protection from weather elements.
  4. 4x corrosion protection: Applied without heat, the dip spin zinc-coated hardware used in the EVO System provides four times better corrosion resistance. This approach also reduces the risk of bolts becoming brittle and breaking, further enhancing the bin’s structural integrity.

“The combination of features like the optimized bolt pattern, zinc-coated hardware, and water-tight seals deliver real-world improvement over the traditional bin design,” said Tallman. “These features work together to create a near-impenetrable barrier against moisture and corrosion, ensuring exceptional grain protection for a farmer’s hard-earned crop and a smart investment for commercial operations.”
