Wide-Corr Hopper Tanks
Galvanized Hoppers
Wide-Corr hoppers feature galvanized hopper plates, which are supported by Westeel's unique compression ring assembly for additional strength. This effectively transfers the bin load from the hopper onto the legs and into the bin foundation.
A steel-sealing strip is continuously welded to the compression ring assembly to ensure a moisture tight fit. Standard hopper features included caulking for all horizontal seams and a wide 14” discharge outlet. Larger discharges up to 22” are available as options for the ability to deliver rates up to 30,000 bu/hour.
A 45º hopper cone is provided on all Series 15 to 24 hopper tanks, a 40º hopper cone for all Series 27 to 30 hopper tanks, and a 37º hopper cone for all Series 33 and 36 hopper tanks.
Full I-Beam Leg Support
For added strength and safety, Wide-Corr uses full I-Beam construction for the leg support system. Cross-bracing manufactured from steel threaded rods is used between every leg to eliminate twisting and increase the structural rigidity of the base.
Extra support is provided by the exterior stiffeners, which are connected to the legs so that the bin loads are transferred directly to the concrete foundation. All components in the base structure are pre-punched at the factory for easy assembly.
