Silo - Centurion W Bins
Outside Stiffened Grain Bin
For Strength, Durability and Long-Term Value Centurion W Outside
Stiffened Grain Silo Can't be Beat.
 Introducing
Westeel's new Centurion W, the newest addition to Westeel's proven
Centurion line of grain silos. Centurion W represents the latest
in stiffened bin technology and has been designed to 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 Grain Silo Strength and Value
Specifically engineered for exceptional sidewall strength, Centurion
stiffened sidewalls are over 2½ 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 heavier
gauge.
New Variable Section Stiffener (VSS)
The secret behind the Centurion W grain silo 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 tree stiffener sections from the Centurion Commercial
bins 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 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 Grain Silo Construction
All of 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, up to 48' diameter and 12 tiers high, 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 long opening allows you to
enter the bin upright and easily manoeuvre when using equipment
or emptying the bin.
Sturdy Silo 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 and are designed to withstand peak loads of up to 4,000
lb. Models 27' in diameter can carry peak loads up to 2,000 lb and
feature larger longitudinal ribs for greater structural integrity.
Roof rings are available for higher snow loads conditions for models
21' to 48' in diameter
