EndZone
IDEAL BIN
The ideal bin should have a fan capacity of 1hp per 1,000bu of grain. 1/2hp per 1,000bu will work but will take twice as long. Less than that is not recommended. Ideal grain depth is 25ft or less with a max of 30ft. Grain bin capacity should be 3,000-45,000bu. Talk to Tony before ordering for larger bin.

About Us
- EndZoneĀ is designed to turn grain bin fans on and off while using multiple outside inputs.
- EndZoneĀ can be set to allow fan operation only when temperature is between two set parameters, a high and low set point.
- EndZoneĀ can be set to allow fan operation only when relative humidity is between two set parameters, a high and low set point.
- EndZoneĀ can be connected and automatically turned on by aĀ Grain Temp GuardĀ®Ā which has triggered an alarm (activating the fan when temperature and humidity are between the preset high low range).
- EndZoneĀ the strongest indication/need for this device is in the accurate natural air drying of grain or in the automatic activation of a fan to alleviate a hotspot.
- EndZoneĀ can be activated by aĀ Grain Temp GuardĀ®Ā and allow the external alarm to be active or turned off.
- EndZoneĀ can help reduce the risk of over drying the grain at the bottom of a bin.
- EndZoneĀ can be used to accurately add moisture too or remove moisture from soybeans (+/ -1/2%)%) [may not be successful if the grain depth is over 18 to 20 feet] if adequate airflow CFM are present.
- EndZoneĀ can be used to accurately remove moisture from corn (+/ -1/2%) [may not be successful if the grain depth is over 18 to 20 feet] if adequate airflow CFM are present.
- EndZoneĀ can allow the fan to be set to āautomaticā control, manual āonā, or the āoffā position.
- EndZoneĀ can allow the fan to be set to āautomaticā control, monitoring only outside weather conditions with or without a link to aĀ Grain Temp GuardĀ®.
- EndZoneĀ will track how many hours your fans have been activated and allow you to periodically reset the timer to zero when-ever you determine it is appropriate.

Quick calculation for value:
- 20,000 bushels of soybeans (or wheat) at 10% moisture.
- TheĀ EndZoneā¢Ā system equipment is installed on the bin. Typical cost for a 20,000 bushel bin is $3800 and is made to be farmer friendly/farmer installed.
- System is set to increase grain moisture to 13% (ideal maximum selling moisture). Depending on fan size and atmospheric humidity conditions, this may take a few weeks to a few months.
- Soybeans take on moisture, increasing to approximately 13%, increasing the grain volume by one semi load, 54,000 pounds of water.
- In todayās soybean market, this is an additional $12,600 in revenue.
Producers may want to recondition soybeans harvested at lower moisture contents to bring the moisture up to the market standard of 13%. On a 40-bushel-per-acre yield, harvesting soybeans at 9% moisture content, rather than 13%, is equal to 1.8 bushels of lost weight per acre. At $9 per bushel, that is $16.20 per acre.
Just as grain is dried with bin fans, soybeans can be reconditioned by operating fans during periods with the desired air temperature and relative humidity. Reconditioning requires high airflow rates for several weeks using air with an average relative humidity of about 70% to recondition soybeans to 13% during normal fall temperatures of 30Ā°F to 60Ā°F.Ā Read More
