Abstract:
A flexible liner system for a silo receiving and storing granular materials, in which the flexible liner system includes a first flexible inflate liner and a second flexible inflate liner placed in the silo and aligned respectively against a silo wall and a silo floor. The first inflate liner and the second inflate liner are separated from each other by a central trough that extends completely across or substantially completely across the silo floor. The flexible liner system includes a conveyor assembly that inflates each inflate liner to push the granular material toward the central trough and aerates the granular material stored in the silo. The flexible liner system further includes a liner return system that allows each inflate liner to be brought back against the wall and the floor of the silo during deflation.

Claim (Index 1):
A Flexible Liner System for a storage bin receiving and storing granular material, the flexible liner system comprising:\n a first inflate liner and a second inflate liner, wherein each inflate liner is configured to be aligned along an interior surface of the storage bin, the first inflate liner opposes the second inflate liner within the storage bin, and the first inflate liner is separated from the second inflate liner by a central trough extending substantially completely across a floor of the storage bin, a conveyor assembly having a center well with one or more side wells positioned along the central trough of the storage bin, wherein the conveyor assembly is configured so that the center well is opened first for unloading before either of the inflate liners can be operated to receive free flowing granular material, a clamp bar assembly securing a first edge of each inflate liner to a wall of the storage bin, a second edge of each inflate liner secured adjacent to a respective edge of the conveyor assembly, and whereby each inflate liner defines a liner air compartment formed between a bottom surface of a respective inflate liner and the wall and floor of the storage bin and is configured to form an inflated wall extending parallel to the central trough that pushes the granular material toward the central trough.
