Grain Covers

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document emphasizes the importance of cover integrity in preventing spoilage by protecting grain from moisture and air exposure. It compares different materials used for grain covers, highlighting the superior protection offered by DURA♦SKRIM® and GrainMax™ covers.

Specifications
  • DURA♦SKRIM® Material: Features two thick membranes of puncture-resistant polyethylene, offering better protection than standard woven fabrics with a thin 1 mil coating.
  • GrainMax™ Covers: Reinforced with a diamond-shaped web of high tenacity polyester cord, providing strength for large covers in demanding weather conditions. The bright white top-layer reflects sunlight, minimizing heat build-up, while the black opaque layer prevents light transmission.

Features and Benefits
  • Durable high-strength tire cord reinforcement.
  • Pinhole-free layers of tough polyethylene.
  • Available in a broad range of custom sizes.
  • Exceptional tear resistance and seam strength.

Comparison with Standard Woven Covers
Standard woven covers rely on a thin coating for protection, which can easily fracture, leading to exposure and spoilage. GrainMax™ covers are designed with heavy diagonal reinforcement to prevent tears and minimize damage.

Considerations
The document poses questions regarding the strength, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of using GrainMax™ covers compared to standard woven covers, emphasizing the potential energy savings and reduced need for replacements.

Conclusion
Backed by Raven Industries, GrainMax™ covers are presented as the superior choice for grain protection, offering durability, customization, and reliable performance.
