Grain Bunker

Hanson Silo- is the national leader in Grain Storage Systems everything from truly temporary grain storage system to engineered multi-million bushel automated grain bunkers.

We've built grain storage for the most progressive elevator coops in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri.

With our partners in complete Grain storage systems, we can provide you with horizontal storage that works, including Hanson Silo Walls, aeration fans, air ducts, and covers.

Our most popular "open air" grain walls are the 8'L walls, while we've seen the market demand increase for 12' high panels to store grain in buildings in the past few years.

Hanson Silo Grain bunkers can be round, oval, rectangular or a highbred thereof.

Hanson Silo bunkers can be built on top of our grain reclaim tunnels. Pairing these two powerful technologies will save you time, money and headaches when unlaoding your grain bunkers. All of Hanson's grain reclaim tunnels can be customised to feature grates as often as you need to make unloading your grain easier and less labor intensive

Commodities such as: wheat, soybeans, corn, dry distillers grain, gluten/ wet cake, canola and flax are stored in our bunkers. Our bunkers are extensively used at the world's largest food company as well as the local farmer owned cooperative.

With horizontal grain storage, your Cost Per Bushel can be as low as $0.10 CENTS depending on your configuration.

In order to achieve a complete package we work with several Millwright companies Cargill AgHorizons, a business unit of Cargill, Incorporated, is a customer-focused organization working to bring product and service solutions to producers. With 142,000 employees in 61 countries, the company is committed to using its knowledge and experience to collaborate with customers to help them succeed. In 2006, Cargill identified the need to store at least 1.5 million bushels of corn at the AgHorizons site in Shelton, Nebraska. Cargill chose a Hanson Bunker walls to go inside their Coverall Titan building.

The fact that the clear span building with Hanson Bunker Walls offered a permanent storage solution and would allow operation in any environment, including wind, rain or snow, was an instant attraction. Cargill decided to purchase a 160' wide by 600' long (48.7m x 182.8m) Cover-All TITAN building with our 8' L panels to store 1.5 million bushels of corn.

Previously, Cargill had been using wood walls covered with tarps to store large volumes of commodities. After being faced with rapid decomposition of the wood walls, wind blowing them over when empty, and wet, moldy grain problems, Cargill decided to use a clear-span structure and our proven engineered precast bunker walls.

Cargill is planning to install a portable conveyor to be used when filling the building with corn and will use a tractor and portable auger to reclaim the corn by truck. It is the first project in their division and they are looking forward to doing additional projects. This building gives them big space that is affordable.
