U-Trough Power Sweep

10" and 12"
STANDARD FEATURES

Easy installation: Much of the sweep is factory assembled. The 10″ center sump is part of the u-trough. All controls are internal. Just slide the complete assembly through the bin wall and attach the sweep.

Trough hanger bearings: Wood bearings are placed at the sumps for easy access. Flightings and bearings can be removed as a unit, with the bearing hangers sliding on ledges in the trough. Bearings are self-seating.

Sweep stop: Limits the sweep to one revolution. The stop swings back, allowing the sweep to move forward over the sumps before filling the bin.

Heavy duty double gearbox sweep drive: Internally controlled engage/disengagement for the sweep auger. Precision gearboxes are oil-bath types. Featuring 1¼” shafts.

Center sump: Heavy duty rollers or sliders coupled with the standard rack and pinion opener provides smooth gate action.

Sumps: Compare the number of Sudenga intermediate sumps to those on other brands. More sumps means more reliable sweep startup and unloading of the bin. If the center sump becomes blocked during the first phase of unloading the bin, the intermediate sump nearest the center acts as a safety sump and can be opened independently to continue first phase unloading from near the bin center.

►Adjustable top flanges accommodate uneven bin floors.
►Internal sweep engagement controls. Direct coupled heavy duty 1- 1/4″ shaft gearboxes.
►Reinforced galvanized sweep back-shield for one-pass sweep operation
►All control rods located inside the u-trough. Factory installed.
►Rack & pinion gate opener makes for smooth, positive control for opening and closing gates.
►Horizontal and incline unloading heads available.
