Striving for the Summit on Grain Storage Innovation
Brock’s Grain Bins are monuments of innovation in the grain drying and storage sector, elevating grain storage to new heights and capacities. These bins boast the tallest eave heights available and accommodate the increasing challenges of grain yield trends with superior holding capabilities.
Opting for Brock’s grain drying solutions means choosing industry-leading quality. With a reputation forged worldwide since 1957, Brock emerges as the trusted leader for on-farm storage needs. Brock’s grain bin design innovations have enhanced strength and grain quality maintenance. Customer safety and convenience have also been front and center, setting industry standards that competitors have emulated.
Brock Grain Systems, the agricultural division of CTB, proudly boasts a comprehensive suite of grain management solutions. This includes an expansive range of grain storage options such as innovative bins and hopper tanks, efficient conditioning tools like fans and heaters, advanced dryers, and a complete set of grain handling essentials encompassing sweeps, conveyors, catwalks, and towers. The most significant product segment for Brock is grain storage, with conditioning and drying following close behind and grain handling rounding out the offerings.
Brock sets the bar high in grain storage with some of the largest bins in the market, peaking at 156 feet in diameter. Notably, these bins, part of the ‘M SERIESTM,’ don’t require center support, exemplifying the outstanding engineering and premium material quality that Brock brings to the table. The moniker’mega” or monster would not be out of place when describing the impressive scale of these bins.
The excellence of Brock’s M-SERIES commercial grain storage bins was recognized in March 2011 when they received the 2011 AE50 Award from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers. The AE50 Award is a prestigious accolade celebrating the top technological innovations that have significantly impacted the industry in the preceding year.
This accolade is a testament to Brock’s commitment to innovation and service within the agricultural community. It acknowledges the unique design of Brock’s roof and walls—the freestanding roof being a marvel of engineering. Furthermore, the innovative double bin wall construction, with its smooth interior for more effortless grain flow and corrugated exterior for enhanced insulation, ensures that grain is kept in optimal condition.
Beyond storage, Brock also provides a variety of handling and drying systems, complemented by a full spectrum of accessories, including fans and mounting equipment. Their offerings range from compact farm dryers, such as the low-profile horizontal models that stand only 12 feet tall, to towering commercial dryers reaching heights between 120 and 130 feet.
Brock pioneered offering five-year warranties on grain bins starting in 1993, a practice other manufacturers have since adopted. This trend of setting industry standards is a double-edged sword, serving as a compliment and a motivator. It signifies Brock’s influence over the market while propelling them to constantly innovate to maintain their leadership position in the agricultural sector.
