OUR SILO UNLOADERS
When designing your silo storage facility, incorporating effective silo unloaders is crucial for optimal operation and efficient material handling.
Silo unloaders, also known as unloading augers or bin sweep systems, are mechanical devices that help remove materials from storage silos.
There are several types of silo unloaders available on the market, each with their own unique features and benefits. Scroll down for more information. The most common type is the enclosed auger type. The power source depends on what is available on farm.
CHOOSE YOUR TYPE OF SILO UNLOADERS
The Silo Construction Company cast the subfloor component of the unloader into the silo base.
This allows for a strong silo base and is the easiest design for internal cleaning and insect control when empty.
The choice of model is usually based on the out loading speed required and the power supply.
CONVENTIONAL ENCLOSED TUBE TYPE
Size and Power Options
Common diameter sizes.
-
200mm usually for smaller silos.
-
250mm diameter is the most common for 42 Ft and 48 Ft diameter silos. These will outload quick enough for most transport turn arounds.
-
300 mm diameter. Usually fitted to large silos where rapid outload is specified.
Power supply for the subfloor.
-
Electric: 415V 3 phase. 4Kw to 18 Kw as required by size.
-
Hydraulic: Lower cost vs electric, safety vs PTO, ease of use & tractors available.
-
PTO Shaft: Common choice of the past and this option is still available. A long PTO Shaft will be required.
Power supply for sweeps.
-
Hydraulic: Use if PTO or Hydraulic is used for the subfloor.
-
Electric: 415 V 3 phase. 3Kw to 5.5 Kw as required by size.
