  • Meridian AirMax Aeration

The right AirMax® Aeration System depends on your bin capacity, hopper design and whether you are equipping a new bin or retrofitting an existing one. Meridian offers one-piece vertical, sectional vertical and horizontal configurations for 40° and 45° hopper cones, with models for bins from 3,300 to 20,000 bushels.

One-piece vertical systems are designed for factory installation on new Meridian bins. Sectional vertical systems are available for retrofit and high-airflow applications. Horizontal systems feature a removable duct for easier cleaning and can be removed when an approved fertilizer-compatible bin is used for fertilizer storage.

FAQ

Both systems are designed to move air through the grain. Vertical systems move air through a screened column that extends through the grain mass, while horizontal systems use a removable aeration duct positioned within the hopper bin. The best choice depends on the bin design and storage requirements.

Yes. Certain AirMax® aeration systems are specifically designed for retrofitting existing hopper bins, allowing producers to add aeration without replacing storage infrastructure.

In the right conditions, aeration systems can support natural air drying, allowing grain to be conditioned in storage rather than waiting for ideal field conditions. This can provide additional flexibility during harvest.
