Key Features
Safety, strength and performance
Specially engineered design features for increased safety, strength and outstanding protection against moisture and environmental threats
Extra capacity for your feed
40˚ roof pitch for better feed fill and greater capacity
27% longer life
G-115 galvanisation for up to 27% longer life than competitors who settle for G-90
Strength and reliability
Heavy-duty one-piece 14 gauge 16″ (40.64 cm) outlet collar provides strength and reliability on the working portion of the silo
Best-in-class access
Access lid with 200º opening range lays flat to provide greater access and reduce potential damage during fill. Ground-controlled lid (inset) can be opened and closed from the base of the silo for extra convenience and safety
Durable
Rolled and crimped connections on the roof-to-sidewall and sidewall-to-hopper matches the sidewall corrugation for extra strength and improved protection of silo contents
Safety
Plenty of ground clearance provides adequate work area with less chance of injury

Design Details
Door:
- Full opening door in sidewall provides full and easy access regardless of door option selected. Both 1R and 2R options available.
- Outer door cover with bar lock firmly holds door cover closed, even in challenging weather conditions.
Fasteners
- Grade 8.2 bolts are used throughout to ensure strength and stability. Roofs use 5/16″ (0.79 cm) bolts and sidewalls use 3/8″ (0.95 cm) bolts.
- Top-quality fasteners feature JS1000 plating system, SAE Grade 8.2 for maximum shear capacity as well as industry standard washers to seal the bolt to the sidewall.
Floors:
AGI silo floors are available in a wide variety of styles to match the application, storage system and customer preference. Long-lasting galvanised construction coupled with state-of-the-art design and manufacturing makes for a silo floor that stands up to use and abuse under the most challenging conditions. Floors can be constructed in any diameter, which makes an AGI floor available on our silos— plus any other brand of silo.
- 16-Gauge Floor Option is the heaviest specification available in the industry. AGI also offers the widest variety of gauges in the industry—providing even more assurance that the construction matches the challenge.
- Built-in corrugation on planks increases strength and rigidity. Round perforation (0.093″) design is smooth and easy to sweep.
- Built-in crown on planks prevents sagging and provides additional strength. Slotted design offers strength and economy.
- Small perforation (0.050″) floor planks are ideal for use in storing small grains such as canola. Smooth surface facilitates easy clean-out.
Supports:
AGI supports are available in either galvanised or welded styles, providing a choice for customers. Supports come in multiple heights to accommodate different sizes of silo unloading systems and fan transitions for optimum performance.
- Locking tabs on galvanised supports lock into place during assembly.
- Powder-coated welded design resists rust and lasts longer than non-painted supports. Facilitates easy installation.
Flashing:
Silo flashing is an underappreciated but critical component of silo construction. AGI takes great care in designing and manufacturing flashing that is strong and durable, regardless of the gauge you choose for your flooring system.
- Choice of high back or low back flashing works for both new silo installation or retrofits.
- Multi-rib design adds strength and durability. Also provides traction for sweep augers.
