The present invention relates to a grain refrigerator including a housing having a grain storage space formed thereon to discharge grains stored therein, a fixing rod located at the center of the inside lower portion of the housing, dew condensation prevention means fixed to the fixing rod, a support plate located on a top periphery of the dew condensation prevention means, an evaporator disposed on the support plate to generate cool air, and a cooling tube disposed on a top periphery of the support plate on the outside of the evaporator to cool the grains, wherein a first pipe and a second pipe connected to the lower portion of the evaporator pass through a through hole of the support plate and a first drain hole of the dew condensation prevention means and are thus exposed to the outside of the housing.

A grain spreading device for evenly distribute grain as it is poured into a storage bin. The grain spreading device generally includes a flow-control ring (e.g., an evenflow ring) adapted to be positioned below a grain bin opening, the flow-control ring comprising an upper opening and a bottom, and a cone movably suspended below the flow-control ring by a plurality of springs to create a variable opening between the cone and the bottom of the flow-control ring, the plurality of springs creating a restoring force, wherein the variable opening increases in size when a weight of grain on the cone moves the cone away from the bottom of the flow-control ring against the restoring force of the plurality of springs.

A system for opening a lid of a bin comprises a guide channel plate comprising an elongated member, a first guide channel comprising a first slot formed within and along the length of the guide channel plate, and a second guide channel comprising a second slot formed within and along the length of the guide channel plate and parallel to the first guide channel slot. A block plate fits within the first and second guide channels and is secured by a block plate clamp. The block plate connects to a linear actuator that is secured to a support member of the bin. A slide block fits compressively within the first and second guide channels thus securing a flexible link assembly and wherein the slide block connects to the linear actuator. A connector plate allows connecting and disconnecting of the linear actuator.

Disclosed are a method and/or system for automatically controlling ventilation of a grain storage bin to maintain the grain parameters within a predefined range. The disclosed system includes a ventilation control system and a plurality of ventilation fans installed to the storage bin. The ventilation control system includes a fan switch control unit, a weather station, and a plurality of grain characteristics monitoring devices. The fan switch control unit includes a first switch and a second switch to constantly operate the plurality of ventilation fans on receiving an alarm signal from the weather station and/or the grain characteristics monitoring devices. The weather station transmits the alarm signal to deactivate plurality of ventilation fans when the captured external parameters deviate from predefined external temperature-humidity range. The grain characteristics monitoring devices transmit the alarm signal to activate plurality of ventilation fans when the captured grain parameters deviate from predefined grain temperature-humidity range.

The invention relates to a monitoring arrangement (1) for a reservoir (2) with a plurality of support members (21), the monitoring arrangement (1) comprising: at least one load cell module (3) with a base plate (31) for attachment to a support surface (100) and an elongated measuring device (37) attached to the base plate (31); and at least one adapter unit (4) configured to be attached to a support member (21) of the reservoir (2) and rest on the measuring device (37); wherein the base plate (31) of the at least one load cell module (3) comprises a recess (32) allowing the base plate (31) to at least partly surround the support member (21) circumferentially when installed, and the measuring device (37) is arranged on the base plate (31), such that it at least partly extends over the recess (32).

The aspects herein relate to the field of fall prevention systems, and more specifically to fall arrest systems for storage bins and more particularly to grain bins or silos. In one aspect, a fall prevention system for a ladder may have an anchor plate coupled to a roof. In another aspect, the fall prevention system for the ladder may have an anchor bar coupled to at least a portion of the ladder. A rope is coupled at one end to the anchor plate or bar and at the other end to at least one rung of the ladder using a fastener. A rope grab is slidably coupled to the rope between the anchor plate or bar and the fastener.
