Experience with Large Polyethylene Silos?

[Coolhand]

Hey guys -

Does anybody have experience with these in a brewery setting? I'd love to hear from you if so...

(Yes I see that they have a 45 deg cone...)

I use a bulk bin from polydome for my grist case. I have the 1.5 ton version in the link below, MUCH smaller than the one in your link though. Have an auger boot on it, had to modify it a little with a steel plate for the end of the auger to pull against because it ended up wearing through the plastic pretty quick. I have a 4" chore time auger and it pulls grain out pretty quick with pretty much nothing but dust left in the case. We are currently using pre crushed malt, cut a trap door in the lid and put some hinges on it, pour grain in through there. When we get our mill, I will cut another chute for a drop in from an auger up from the mill.
