In Reply to: Another bin question... posted by Dave H (MI) on December 04, 2016 at 09:06:24:
Dave,
I have built several bins and used a similar approach as to what J.D. suggested except. First I bulldozed off a flat area where I wanted the bin and then I used a ring of the bin for the form plus a three foot additional section so the cement will have a greater circumference than the bin. This extra section will be where you want the discharge auger to extend through the cement. Wipe it with drain oil so the cement does not stick to it and you are home free. In the center I always used a fifty five gallon drum and cut the top out and weld in a six inch piece of channel iron with the 1/2 inch pipe in the center like was suggested. This gives the sweep auger a pit to empty into and a pivot point. Next I would cut an opening in the side near the bottom of the barrel and cement the discharge auger in at a slight angle. Fill in with sand till you get the depth of cement you want, pour the cement and it will be a neat job that will last the rest of your life. Also don't forget to put a little door that you can control from the outside of the bin just inside the walk door down to the auger so that when the grain stops flowing you can unload the grain that is still piled next to the walk door. Hope some of these ideas help. Tom
