For Strength, Durability and Long Term Value, Centurion W™ Can't Be Beat
Centurion W represents the latest in stiffened bin technology and has been designed specifically for the needs of smaller commercial operations and large farms. It uses Westeel's new VSS Stiffener to create the strongest bin possible with the most efficient use of steel.
Unbeatable Strength and Value
Specifically engineered for exceptional sidewall strength, Centurion stiffened sidewalls are over 2-½ times more efficient at achieving the maximum load possible out of each pound (lb) of steel as compared to competitive unstiffened bins. That means you can attain the additional strength you want without the extra expense of having to use a heavier gauge.
New Variable Section Stiffener (VSS)
The secret behind Centurion W's strength lies in Westeel's new Variable Section Stiffener (VSS), which matches stiffener thickness and size to the vertical load. The Centurion W bin series utilize the first of the three stiffener sections from the Centurion Commercial bin series. The stiffener is made of pre-galvanized material and has been designed for maximum strength and resistance to high wind loads. Westeel's Variable Section Stiffener (VSS) also makes use of a new laminating system, which maximizes strength but is easier to install. For added strength, the stiffeners go all the way to the eaves line.
Heavy Duty Construction
All of the Centurion sidewall sheets have a 4” corrugation and feature a G115 galvanized coating, which is 28% heavier than the industry standard. Most sheets are rolled from high strength, 50-ksi steel that allows for stronger, yet lighter sheets. These sheets have been punched using a unique computer-optimized pattern that maximizes structural integrity of the bin while minimizing the number of bolts required. Lighter sheets combined with the use of fewer bolts overall provides Centurion W bins with the added advantage of being easier and faster to erect.
Ease of Entry
All Centurion W bins include the Westeel walk-in door as standard equipment. Designed to deliver exceptional strength and provide a weather tight seal for aeration applications, the walk-in door's extra large opening allows you to enter the bin upright and easily maneuver when using equipment or emptying the bin.
Sturdy Roof Design
Featuring a 30° slope for quick moisture run off, Centurion W roofs have been engineered for exceptional strength with large integral ribs formed right into the roof panels. Roof models 15' to 24' in diameter are die punched to provide a precise fit during assembly. Models 27' in diameter feature larger longitudinal ribs for greater structural integrity. Roof rings are available for higher snow load conditions for models 21' to 58' in diameter.
