The ultimate aeration system for your Hopper bins


We regularly hear about technological innovation, automation and robotization, but very little about storage bin innovation. However, a young Manitoba company has succeeded in redefining ventilation for Hopper bins, thereby resolving the issues of conservation.


Today, NorBin produces and installs aeration systems for hopper-bottom bins.


NorBin Innovation

Complete floor aeration system for Hopper bins

  • The most efficient aeration system on the market for Hopper bins.

  • Incorporates a solid aeration slab in the conical bottom, allowing homogeneous aeration under the entire grain mass, eliminating moisture zones.

  • Reduces air restriction and maximizes the performance of the aeration system.

  • 100% galvanized steel construction for enhanced strength and durability.


Cyclone aeration system for existing Hopper bins

  • Economical, efficient and easy to install

  • Can be installed in existing bins, without requiring complete floor replacement.

  • Provides cyclonic airflow, improving grain drying and preservation.

  • Supplied as a kit and transported in a pickup box.





“There are thousands of hoppers being made all over Canada every year with 20 or 30 types of air systems, but none of them cover the whole floor of the bin,” explains Frank Zacharias, NorBin Co-Owner. Farmers are always worried about the tough grain in those pockets of the hopper that aeration doesn’t reach.”


Through a process of meticulous design and rigorous testing, NorBin was able to manufacture its state-of-the-art Full-Floor and Cyclone air systems for hopper-bottom bins.




This type of ventilation floor is difficult to design, which probably explains why there are so few on the market.

In fact, a second floor is built inside the cone, creating a gap between the central axis cone and the perforated floor system. Less exposed to pressure, the floor allows the air pushed by the fan to pressurize the entire floor, while eliminating high-risk zones.


The Cyclone system, meanwhile, addresses many issues farmers have with their existing hoppers.


“A lot of guys approach us saying they have 15 or so hopper bins on the yard already. They don’t need more bins, but they need a good air system,” Zacharias says. “We figured there should be a product that’s easy to install and will fit any brand of cone.”


Cyclone aeration systems don’t cover the entire wall off the bin but are strategically located inside of the cone. And whereas some air systems fill up chaff and dust, this one empties cleanly. It also installs easily, as Zacharias points out, and none of the existing parts have to be removed from the bin.




The systems we offer represent an investment in dry, well-aerated grain. As I often say, well-ventilated grain gives real peace of mind.


The benefits of this technology

  1. Grain quality preserved

    Uniform aeration reduces the risk of mold, insects and nutrient loss.


  2. Better sales and profitability

    Un grain sain signifie des ventes plus rentables et des pertes moins nombreuses.


  3. Durability and robustness

    Galvanized steel ensures long life.


  4. Proven experience

    Over 21 years' experience of the Zacharias brothers in farming areas.


Conclusion

Full-Floor and Cyclone systems, from a Manitoba-based company, significantly improve grain management and storage. With these solutions, you opt for better grain quality, durability and adaptability.
