Silo sweep augers are designed specifically for flat-bottomed silos, making them an essential tool for farm stores and commercial grain and seed facilities. Ideal for intensive use during the harvest season and lighter applications throughout the year, these augers also serve well in lighter industrial environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- Effective Material Recovery: Once approximately 90% of the silo’s contents have been discharged by gravity, the sweep auger effectively reclaims the remaining easy-flowing material. This reduces waste and maximizes your grain recovery.
- 360-Degree Rotation: The auger rotates 360 degrees around the base of the silo from a central motor unit, ensuring thorough material retrieval and minimizing the need for manual intervention.
- Safety and Convenience: By alleviating the need for manual shoveling of residual material, sweep augers enhance safety in the workplace, reducing the risk of injury associated with this unpleasant task.
- Durable Construction: Built for rigorous use, silo sweep augers are designed to withstand the demands of heavy-duty operation during peak harvest times.
- User-Friendly Design: Easy to operate and maintain, these augers are designed with the end-user in mind, ensuring efficient performance with minimal downtime.
- Versatile Applications: While primarily used in grain and seed storage, these augers can also be adapted for lighter industrial applications, making them a versatile addition to your equipment lineup.
