20080219817 | Particle Spreader System - A particle spreader system for efficiently evenly distributing particles (i.e. grain, seed, etc.) within a storage bin. The particle spreader system generally includes a manifold including a plurality of discharge openings and a lower opening, a plurality of gates attached to the manifold, wherein the gates incrementally adjust about the discharge openings and a plurality of chutes attached to the manifold, wherein the plurality of chutes extend outwardly from the plurality of discharge openings. The manifold suspendedly attaches to an inlet of a storage bin, wherein the manifold receives a mass of particles via the inlet and wherein the gates regulates a flow of the mass of particles through the discharge openings. | 09-11-2008 |

20110003542 | Roof Ventilation System - A roof ventilation system for efficiently allowing air to flow through the peak of a grain bin year round. The roof ventilation system generally includes a frame extending from the upper opening, wherein the frame defines a passageway extending through an interior of the frame adapted to communicate air flow between an interior of the grain bin and ambient air. A shell at least partially surrounding the frame to at least partially seal the interior of the frame. A screen is interconnected between the frame and the shell, wherein the screen includes a plurality of outlets extending therethrough in communication with the passageway. A heating element is in communication with the screen, wherein the heating element dissipates heat to the screen to prevent ice buildup upon the screen. | 01-06-2011 |

20090059714 | GRAVITY FLOW PROCESSOR FOR PARTICULATE MATERIALS - The present invention relates to purge vessel apparatuses and methods for processing particulate material composed of powder particles. Some such purge vessel apparatuses include a housing having first and second opposite ends and an inner surface defining a material path from the first end to the second end. Some such purge vessel apparatuses also include a gas exposure mechanism that is adapted to expose particulate material on the material path to a processing gas. Some such purge vessel apparatuses further include an agitating mechanism adapted to disrupt and/or inhibit formation of gas channels and/or to disrupt and/or inhibit formation of material flow channels by agitating particulate material on the material path, thereby exposing substantially all of the powder particles to the processing gas, while substantially maintaining mass flow. Several illustrative purge vessel apparatuses and method are disclosed for processing particulate material composed of powder particles. | 03-05-2009 |
