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 11):
A storage bin for receiving and storing granular material, the storage bin comprising:\n a floor, a roof, and a cylindrical wall extending between the floor and the roof to define a storage space for the granular material, a flexible liner system installed within the storage bin, the flexible liner system comprising: a first inflate liner and a second inflate liner, wherein each inflate liner is configured to be aligned along the floor and cylindrical wall 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 positioned along the central trough of the storage bin, wherein the conveyor assembly is configured to receive free flowing granular material and discharge the granular material from the storage bin, a clamp bar assembly securing a first edge of each inflatable liner to the cylindrical wall of the storage bin, a second edge of each inflatable 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.
