Bulk Feed TankFlex-Flo Delivery SystemAP’s Bulk Feed Tanks andFlex-Flo TM perfectly illustratethe attention to detail thatquality demands. AP is adivision of The GSI Group,Inc., the world’s largestmanufacturer of corrugated,Bin RoofAP offers your choice of a 30°or 40° bin roof to adapt to anyapplication. Roof panels are precision manufactured usingdie-form tooling to provide consistent quality. Both 30°and40° roofs feature reinforcing ribs at each roof seam for addedstrength and rigidity.• Reinforcing RibAP's patented "Auto-Lock" lid system allowsHeavy Duty BootsMultiple outlet requirements can be easily handled by our22" (559mm) all metal boot. This boot, which can be fittedto any AP feed bin, will allow installation of up to four feedlines in several directions at once.AP's 16" (406mm) parabolic boot(available in straight drop or 30°• 30° Drop Boot models) is made in our own facilityfrom the very latest in ultra highClear BootAP’s clear boot allows producersto verify at a glance while drivingby that feed is present in the bin.This heavy walled boot is injectedmolded from a speciallyformulated ultraviolet stabilized clear polycarbonate blendto provide years of trouble free service.galvanized steel storagetanks (from the smallest feedtanks to massive 100 feet/31meters tall, 15,000+ toncapacity commercial giants).Every component is madethe bin to be opened,closed and locked fromthe ground.

It forces water away from thehopper and lower boot area, giving complete weatherprotection without a loss in capacity. Exclusive to AP hoppers,Hopper BottomTank hoppers are available in three slopes: 45° for dry, freeflowing grains and 60° or 67° for harder flowing feed.Hoppers are available at no additional cost with an optional22" (559mm) opening which adapts to our rotary unloader.. . or the larger, heavy duty 22" (559mm) metal boot.Tubing Blendfrom the finest raw materialsavailable.

AP unloaders feature a heavy duty ball bearing for increased service life and reducedmaintenance. Most unloaders are available in single or double outlet models, as well as “through”& “'twin through”' models which can be used in tandem where two tanks are used in line.• Single unloaderwith optionalswing away frombottom for 100%clear out.Around The BendFor moving feed up in the air and aroundcorners, Flex-Flo TMtubing is available inspecially formed elbows with increased wallA unique, non-interfering safety rail and sectional,thickness on the inside of the elbow forfully die-formed side ladder with dimpled, nonskidrungs provide solid, comfortable access.strength and wear resistance.Bulk Feed Tank 1• Rigid Auger System• Double-Through UnloaderFlex-Flo Delivery System 2
