JMI Covers LLC

Our unique CoverGuard® Strapping System is encapsulated within our covers. Compared to external web nets, our CoverGuard® Internal Strapping System saves both time and money by reducing installation time at a fraction of the cost and also eliminates the need for employees to be on top of the pile for installation. CoverGuard® is available in 12 ft. and 24 ft. spacing options.

• For bunker piles, the CoverGuard® system secures wall ratchets, allowing the cover to be secured during the storage and reclaiming processes, providing added protection for your investment. 
• Our system helps manage aeration costs by reducing the reliance on aerations fans to secure the cover.
• CoverGuard® also provides additional protection for your investment should you experience a power outage or in times of high winds.
• Reusability: After reclaiming your commodity, remove the straps from their protective pockets and return to JMI to receive up to a 50% discount on the strapping system the following year.

The Guardian Positioning System® is integrated into our high-quality grain covers and is strategically placed to allow employees to be securely attached to a tie-off point. Our system reduces the chances of sliding off the pile while working. It allows personnel to safely maneuver around the pile during cover installation, maintenance, sample probing, or when removing cover sections during product reclaim.

Tired of Sewing? HLT® Connection Seams are extremely strong and are easily assembled on-site without the use of sewing machines. These Connection Seams have reinforced webbing and grommet edges, which are secured with heavy-duty zip ties. Hook & Loop secondary rain flaps provide additional moisture protection and are color-coded to ensure proper installation.

EZ-Ploy® Hand Straps are designed to aid in the deployment of the covers while helping reduce the wear & tear on your hands. The EZ-Ploy® Straps are installed along the connection seams on 12ft. spacing. EZ-Ploy® Straps are standard on JMI’s covers with the purchase of our HLT® Connection Seams.

Another innovation from JMI Covers, VeraFlow® Air Intakes! This innovation is designed for customers who use perforated PVC pipes to provide additional airflow throughout the top of their grain pile. VeraFlow® Air Intakes are manufactured with spacing increments of 12 ft. This system ensures consistent spacing and a more balanced airflow throughout the grain pile. Since VeraFlow® is built into our covers, it eliminates the need to place the pipe before covering. Once the cover has been installed and secured, open the VeraFlow® hook and loop pockets, place the intake pipe, and secure. VeraFlow® eliminates the difficulty of deploying the cover over preplaced pipes and keeps top pipe spacing from being misaligned as the cover is pulled across them. The larger airflow mesh on the bottom of the pocket allows for more airflow to be pulled into the pile vs. current pipe placement methods. The hook & loop pocket closure provides a strong and moisture-resistant seal. We also offer various sizes of solid and perforated plastic pipes to accommodate your temporary storage needs.

Maintaining product quality within a grain pile is not always easy. What happens if a “hot spot” develops within the pile? Do you consider picking the pile up sooner than expected or start cutting holes in the protective cover exposing the product underneath to further damage? How do you get enough airflow to this problem area? Our innovation is the VeraVent® Air Intake Vent. 

• This unique and innovative solution from JMI Covers, L.L.C., easily installs in about 15 minutes.
  
• With a large 7’8” screened opening, VeraVent® delivers a large volume of concentrated airflow to the required area.
• Place VeraVent® over the problem area and secure it using the provided tape. Roll back the outer protective flap and expose the air screen. Roll the air screen back to expose the grain cover, then cut through the grain cover material and discard. Re-secure the screen to the Velcro® seal. Immediately begin to start cooling down the problem area.VeraVent® is designed to prevent moisture from re-entering the vented area.
• Once the product has cooled, secure the protective outer flap, and it’s back to business.
• VeraVent® can be opened anytime should any additional cooling or product samples be required.
• It is ideal for center air or conical-shaped piles where FM builds around the inner core of the pile, making it sometimes difficult to achieve a well balanced airflow in these areas.

JMI Covers offers aeration screens that prevent grain from entering the aeration pipe without restricting airflow through the perforations. Our durable polypropylene material can be ordered by mill roll or pre-made to fit your specific requirements.

• 9 ft. & 12 ft. stock mill rolls are available in lengths of 300’ (min.) up to 1500.’ 
• Pre-made socks can be manufactured to any length and diameter you require. 
• Our pre-made socks are manufactured slightly larger than the actual duct diameter to allow for easy application. Slide your sock over, and you are done. 
• Fast delivery and competitive pricing.

Anyone who uses ground storage knows what high winds can do to their cover. Even running your aeration system at maximum capacity, your covers can still “float,” which can cause the potential for damage to the covers. Why do covers start to float even with the aeration running? It is not the wind blowing over the top of the cover, as some might think. The wind enters through the perforated walls with such strength that it causes the cover to lose its suction, allowing it to lift. This is particularly true with the higher wall systems being used today. Also, in areas where the grain has not reached the top of the wall, this leaves a void between the cover and the grain and can be especially prone to allow air underneath the cover. Another challenge is when the snow slides off the cover, it builds up around the outside of the wall. Winds can further move the snow up against the walls. As the snow melts, the aeration system can draw this moisture into the pile, creating grain spoilage around the outside perimeter. BunkerGuard® Wall Skirts can help eliminate the need to manually remove snow from these areas and helps minimize perimeter spoilage.

BunkerGuard® Wall Skirts

• Installs easily to the top wall and rolls up when complete airflow is desired within the pile. 
• Manufactured to your specific pile diameter and wall height. Removes easily and can reuse the following season
• Strategically placed mesh screens allow the aeration system to pull in still “make-up air” so as not to starve the system and increase energy costs.
