Grain Bins: On-farm bins are the smart grain marketing investment
SIOUX STEEL
Sioux Steel is a 5th generation, family-owned company that is proud to manufacture innovative solutions to farmers & ranchers in the US and to over 80 countries throughout the world. With the acquisition of SCAFCO Grain, Sioux Steel Company now offers a combined knowledge of over 165 years of manufacturing innovative ways to store your grain. Sioux Steel bins are engineered with the highest quality standards in mind and are designed for grains weighing up to 70 lbs./ bushel.
Sioux Steel also offers grain storage alternatives, including: flat storage in ProTec buildings, bunker walls, and storing right in the field with FlexStor grain baggers and unloaders. No matter your operation, Sioux Steel has a solution to fit your needs.
Sioux Steel also offers the safest bin sweeps in the industry, the Daay Sweep product line, which includes:
• DPS G2 Sweep (5,500 bushels per hour)
• The bolt together design in the DPS G2 Sweep offers all the great features of the Daay Bin Paddle Sweep at a more economical price!
• Daay Bin Paddle Sweep (5,500 bushels per hour)
• Daay Power Sweep (for farm bins – 5,500 bushels per hour)
• Interceptor Sweep (5,500 bushels per hour)
• DPS 12K Sweep (for commercial bins - 12,000 bushels per hour)
• NEW Reverse Sweep (6,000 bushels per hour in forward direction. 2,500 bushels per hour in reverse direction) - The only system capable of sweeping grain in forward or reverse direction!
All of these sweeps are designed to be fully submerged in grain and can unbury themselves from a grain avalanche. They have no dangerous augers to worry about and simply move the grain with flexible rubber paddles. Add-on options include the all new Edge Sweep & Edge Buster, both expanding on the already significant added features of the Daay Sweep products.
Bagging grain is simple and quick with the FlexStor grain bagger and unloader offered by Sioux Steel Company. This grain storage option means you won’t have to wait for trucks or slow augers, plus the combine can keep running, making harvest more efficient. There’s no waiting in lines at an elevator. The grain goes into the bag at the same moisture it comes out, so commodities can be dried at a later time if needed.
Grain storage facilities are taking full advantage of the low cost solution for temporary grain storage using bunker walls from Sioux Steel. With minimal preparation, bunker wall storage can be put up fast and provide the storage you need at harvest time. Sioux’s bunker walls are professionally engineered and are specifically designed to work with grain aeration equipment.
Sioux Steel is also leading the industry by being the only company to offer options like the VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) Fan Control and the Triumph fan and Ultra Low EQM Heater. These solutions are high efficiency, cost saving and offer up to 3 times faster drying! The ultra-low EQM heater controls moisture better in the bin. They are great replacement options for existing sites.

REDSTONE INDUSTRIES
Harvest has changed a lot in the last 100 years—those 18’ bins your grandfather put up just don’t get much use anymore. Redstone Industries specializes in heavy-duty, steel hopper bottom grain bins for all sizes of new or existing bins. We work directly with farmers and millwrights to improve your grain handling facilities. We also provide hoppers for industrial applications.
Redstone builds Hopper Bottom Cones for bins from 12’ to 36’. However, converted to a hopper bottom, they can easily be used for almost anything! A Hoppercone allows you to modernize and increase the capacity of bins you already have.

SUKUP
Sukup offers farm bins with capacities from 1,848 to 73,711 bushels. Sukup bins feature 5,000-lb. roof load ratings and patented 22-in. anchor brackets that function as stiffeners for the plenum. An extra-large manhole with a 20” x 35.5” opening is a comfortable fit for most operators—a special latch holds the manhole firmly in place, and the cover lays flat against the roof when open.
Sukup bin doors feature a reversible hinge so doors open to the left or right, whichever works best for your layout. The inner doors open a full 180-degrees to rest flat against the sidewall, and there’s no cross-bracing to block the opening.
