Reliable, Modular Storage Solutions for Any Industry
At O’Mara Ag Equipment in Iowa, we design and manufacture bins and hoppers that do more than just hold seed—they improve the flow, cleanliness, and efficiency of your entire seed production and packaging operation. O’Mara Ag is the partner you need when your facility demands custom-engineered and American-made solutions that fit your space
Our grain bins and hoppers are designed from the ground up with your process in mind. From heavy-duty construction to modular options and detailed finishing, we make sure every component is built to work hard—and work smart. With extensive in-house fabrication and assembly, your system installs more easily onsite, saving you time, rigging costs, and headaches.
Whether you need a single surge bin or a full storage system with integrated hoppers, catwalks, and letdown ladders, we deliver purpose-built solutions that perform.
Custom Engineered for Your Operation
With over 200 years of combined experience building systems for seed processing facilities across the U.S., we know what works. Our bins and hoppers are designed with the following features to meet the demands of modern operations:
Dust-tight construction for cleaner, safer facilities
Positive discharge systems to eliminate bridging
Heavy-duty structural support for long life and system rigidity
Flexible mounting and discharge options for seamless integration
Pre-built modules to reduce on-site labor and cost
Our Storage Products:
We offer a comprehensive range of storage solutions engineered for diverse material handling needs. Our products are designed for durability, efficiency, and seamless integration into your existing processes.
Bulk Storage Bins
Our sturdy and configurable bulk storage bins provide reliable containment for a wide array of materials, including seed, grain, edibles, and various industrial products. Available in both welded and bolted construction, these bins can be tailored to your specific requirements.
Customization Options:
Construction: Choose between welded for maximum strength and bolted for ease of transport and assembly.
Material Compatibility: Designed to safely store seed, reducing damage and losses.
Wall Construction: Select smooth walls for optimal cleanout or corrugated walls for enhanced structural integrity.
Location: Engineered for both indoor and outdoor installations, with appropriate weatherproofing options.
Discharge Options: Customizable discharge mechanisms to suit your downstream processes.
Standard Features:
Pre-welded roofs for weather protection and structural stability.
Lifting lugs for safe and efficient handling during installation or relocation.
Dust ports facilitate connection to dust collection systems, maintaining a clean and safe environment.
Integrated safety features to ensure operational security.
Optional Enhancements:
Man ladders for safe and easy access for inspection and maintenance.
Roof handrails to provide added safety for personnel working on the bin roof.
Vibrating brackets to promote material flow and prevent bridging of difficult materials.
Sampling ports or integrated samplers for convenient material quality checks.
Size Specifications: Available with a footprint of up to 12′ x 12′ and heights reaching up to 30′, providing significant storage capacity.
Hoppers
Our cone-bottom hoppers are expertly designed to ensure clean and reliable material flow for any type of seed. The conical shape effectively minimizes bridging and facilitates faster and more complete evacuation of stored product.
Key Features:
Optimized slope angles are engineered for efficient material cleanout and consistent discharge rates.
Available with a variety of gate options, including electric, pneumatic, and manual, to control material flow.
Integration Capabilities: Perfectly suited for seamless integration with conveyors, dryers, blending systems, and other ag processing equipment for seed.
Specialty Hoppers
Receiving Hoppers: Specifically engineered for the gentle and efficient unloading of bulk agricultural products such as seed corn or wheat. Their design minimizes material damage, facilitates the separation of debris, and ensures a smooth flow into your material handling system.
Surge Bins: Ideal for creating buffer capacity between different stages of your production process. These bins effectively manage fluctuations in material input or output, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring a consistent feed rate to downstream equipment. They are particularly beneficial for packaging lines, dryers, and separation processes.
Specialized Storage Solutions
Drying & Aeration Bins: Designed to maintain optimal product quality during storage. These bins can be equipped with advanced aeration systems and fans, enabling efficient in-bin drying using ambient air or assisted airflow, preserving the integrity of your stored seed.
Weigh Bins: Essential for accurate inventory management, yield tracking, feed monitoring, and preparing outbound shipments. Mounted on precision load cells, these bins provide real-time weight measurement and reporting capabilities, enhancing your operational control.
Auger Leveling Bins: Maximize your storage volume and minimize floor space requirements with our auger leveling bins. The integrated auger system quickly and uniformly levels your seed product within the bin, ensuring accurate fills every time and optimizing storage efficiency.
Bin Probe Samplers: Facilitate the collection of representative material samples directly from within your storage bins. These samplers can be easily integrated into both new and existing bins and are compatible with most industrial control systems, streamlining your quality control processes.
