Agricultural Feed Bins

Chief Automated Feed Systems Save Labor.

Chief Bulk Storage Bins are the ideal structure to protect feed from weather. The weather tight die formed roof has reinforcing ribs at the seams for added strength and ease of assembly. The 22 inch diameter, warp resistant top lid closes tight to keep out moisture. Bin bolts have a built-in weather seal and a drip edge keeps water away from the taper hopper and unloading boot. Chief bins really perform with a 60 degree taper hopper on the 6 and 9 ft. bins and 67 degree on the 7 ft. bin. The tapers are offset to allow smooth feed flow and the top lid operates smoothly with either the chain or the pinch-lock opener. Chief bins are tough! Bin sheets are made of heavy gauge G-90 galvanized steel with 2-2/3 wide by 1/2 deep corrugation. Legs are die formed with a sturdy bracing system for structural support. High strength bolts are used throughout Chief bins. Chief Flexible Auger Systems are the efficient way to deliver feed almost anywhere you need it! Installation is easy and maintenance costs are low. Components are all poly or heavy galvanized steel construction. Choose Chief for versatility, top performance and long service life.
