Aeration Layout & Design

The grain in your bin is like money in the bank. You want it to be safe. You also want it to come out of storage in as good as (or better) condition than when you placed it in the bin.
​
If you get poor quality grain out of storage, it could be due to an “unbalanced” system. We have extensive experience in designing systems, and “trouble shooting” systems.

Chief aeration fans vents

Bates Equipment Sales LLC is an Independent Authorized Dealer of CHIEF Aeration Systems.

As an independent dealer, we also service and provide other drying systems if that is your preference. For more information, please CONTACT US!
Aeration systems can be designed for natural air drying, cooling behind continuous flow dryers and aerating for long term storage of dried and cooled grain.

The key to the good aeration system design starts with having a “balanced” system.

Temperature Cable Systems​
Temperature cable systems is a great tool to manage quality. Temperature cables can save you money and make you money.
 If aeration fans run too long, it not only costs extra in electricity (kilowatts used), it can over-dry your grain (which decreases test weight) and costs you money since you are selling less bushels.

We can provide temperature cable systems, from the most basic handheld unit to the most sophisticated unit which can allow you to read temperature from remote locations through your smart phone or computer.

Bates Equipment Sales LLC has assisted many customers in correcting “unbalanced” aeration design flaws in their system design. We welcome the opportunity to assist you with your aeration systems!
