Abstract: In one or more arrangements, an aerated floor system for grain bins is presented. The system includes a plurality of planks positioned above one or more airflow passageways. The plurality of planks have a plurality of perforations to facilitate the flow of air through the planks. The system includes one or more filters positioned below the plurality of planks to catch flour, dust, and/or debris that fall through the plurality of perforations of the plurality of planks while permitting air to be moved upward through the one or more filters and the plurality of planks. In this manner, the build-up of flour, dust, and/or debris in the one or more airflow passageways is reduced.

Abstract: A floor support system for a grain bin having an elevated floor formed of a plurality of planks and supported by a plurality of floor supports is presented. The system includes a plurality of support members and a plurality of holding members. The support members are formed of an elongated member that provides structural strength and rigidity. The holding members fit over the support members and engage the upper end of the floor supports. The support members and holding members are quickly and easily installed by placing the support members on the floor supports and placing the holding members over the support members. Once the support members and holding members are in place on the floor supports, the elevated floor is assembled over the holding members and support members that provide support to the elevated floor when spanning increased distances between adjacent floor supports.
