Brock adds million-bushel models to grain bin line
MILFORD, INDIANA, U.S. - Brock
Grain Systems announced recently that it has
added high-capacity models to its new line of
EVEREST E-Series grain storage bins. The
new bin models are 132 and 156 feet (40.2 m
and 47.5 m) in diameter and offer maximum
storage capacities of up to 1.24 million and
1.3 million bushels, respectively.
The new line of bins now also offers
Brock's unique EVEREST SUMMIT
SYSTEM to more efficiently and uniformly connect the bins with LeMar catwalk
and tower support systems.
The announcements were made at the
company's national dealer sales meeting in
late January, according to Dave Dell, global marketing and sales director for Brock. The new high-capacity EVEREST bins feature outside
stiffened sidewalls with an inside corrugated panel surface compared
with the company's M-SERIES million-bushel bins which offer a
unique combination of corrugated exterior sidewalls and smooth interior sidewall panels along with interior sidewall stiffeners.
At the dealer meeting, Brock's dealers were told to expect the new
EVEREST bin design standards to continue to offer more features
and changes in the company's line of stiffened bins later this year.
Brock first unveiled the EVEREST E-Series Bins to the commercial
grain industry at last year's Grain Elevator and Processing Society
(GEAPS) Exchange Expo.
"With the higher eave heights, the EVEREST Bin models offer
a nearly 14% increase in storage capacity compared with previous
grain bin models that have the same diameter footprint. This EVEREST feature helps meet the growing demand for grain storage, while
also addressing facility space concerns and the rigors of moving
large amounts of grain frequently," Dell said.
"In developing the EVEREST E-Series Bin line, Brock used 3-D

structural engineering software to redesign the roofs," said Mark Dingeldein,
Brock's Unit General Manager for Storage. "As a result, the roof peak loads are
rated for up to 130,000 pounds (59,000
kg) pure vertical load, based on 30 pounds
per square foot (146 kg per square meter)
ground snow load. The increased roof
peak load may decrease support tower
sizes and, in some cases, eliminate the
need for them altogether.
"Additionally, EVEREST roof structures are engineered to support temperature cables and accommodate ground
snow loads of 30 to 60 pounds per square
foot (146 kg/m2 to 292 kg/m2). The EVEREST design considers
both balanced and unbalanced snow loads. The changes incorporated
into the EVEREST Bin line also increase sidewall stiffener connections and optimize sidewall body sheet steel gauges to help maximize
the bin's grain holding ability."
Brock's exclusive FULL SWEEP bin anchoring system (patent
pending) is a standard feature on Brock EVEREST bin models. This
anchoring system provides the additional sidewall structural reinforcement needed for the safe operation of single-pass sweeps, resulting in time savings and reduced labor. It also eliminates the need
for bin entry during the grain sweeping process.
For easy access into the bin's interior for inspection, the 15 to 105
feet (4.6 to 32 m) diameter EVEREST E-Series bin models come
equipped with Brock's LATCH-LOCK walk-through bin door. This
two-ring tall door is made up of three or four internal panels with
each using a patented latch system that doesn't require tools to open.
In addition to providing convenient, ample clearance, the LATCHLOCK System meets all recommendations for bin entry, rescue and
safety standards.

DeutscheBack extends gluten free product line
AHRENSBURG, GERMANY - DeutscheBack GmbH & Co. KG,
a member of the independent, owner-managed Stern-Wywiol Gruppe in Hamburg, Germany, has extended its product ranges for glutenfree bread and pastry goods.
The new products TopBake Rice Bread QSD, Fresh 60 and WA
Pure give bread based on rice flour a more intensive flavor, a darker
and more bread-like crumb and greater freshness and succulence.
That allows manufacturers of bakery products a wider choice of raw
materials for creating a diversity of quality gluten-free specialties.
The number of people who no longer consume foods containing
gluten is increasing all the time. About 10% of the world's population is potential buyers of gluten-free products for health or lifestyle
reasons. The bakery products for this clientele are made from glutenfree grain types such as maize, rice, millet and buckwheat or the
pseudo cereals amaranth and quinoa.
DeutscheBack has developed the series TopBake Rice and TopSweet Rice in order to achieve optimum results from baking with
gluten-free raw materials. The wide selection of functional systems
is based mainly on hydrocolloids, dietary fibers, enzymes and rice
flour and starch and includes both single ingredients and premixes or
ready-mixed flours for bread and pastry goods.
www.World-Grain.com / World Grain / April 2014

The TopBake Rice Bread series is available as a 100% ready-mixed
flour and as a 50% premix. Roasted seeds give the products a flavor
typical of bread. In the production of allergen-free TopBake Rice Bread
AF, care is taken to avoid the use of all known allergens. The range has
now been complemented by the development of TopBake Rice Bread
QSD. The use of gluten-free sour dough gives the allergen-free products an intensive flavor and a darker crumb more typical of bread. The
50% premixes can be combined with other gluten-free flours.
In order to optimize existing recipes in respect of shelf-life and
succulence, two new products have been developed for the glutenfree range: TopBake Fresh 60 (Rice) is an enzyme system that delays
aging of the crumb. With its excellent water-binding capacity, TopBake WA Pure (Rice) ensures a moister crumb.
For pastry goods, TopSweet Cake Mix Rice is available as a universal premix for Madeira cake, shortcake biscuits, doughnuts or
wafers. TopSweet Sponge Cake Rice was developed specially for
sponge flan or gateau bases. It already contains baking powder, emulsifiers, flavorings and sugar, which means that no other gluten-free
raw materials have to be purchased and stored. That greatly reduces
the cost of raw material analyses and logistics, since all the products
in the series are guaranteed to contain less than 20 ppm of gluten.
