Grain Halo Sump Guard - Sudenga Industries Inc.

Grain Halo Sump Guard

Sudenga’s Grain Halo Sump Guard helps keep grain moving by breaking up crusted grain and larger clumps before they can restrict flow at the center sump. Mounted above the sweep gearbox, it stays connected throughout unloading and travels with the sweep as it moves.

Grain Halo

Help keep grain moving through the center sump

The Sudenga Grain Halo Sump Guard helps break apart crusted or clumped grain before it can restrict flow through the center sump. Mounted above the sweep gearbox, it helps promote more consistent unloading when grain conditions become difficult.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Helps prevent grain clumps from restricting the center sump
  • Supports more consistent grain flow during unloading
  • Designed for crusted, compacted, or difficult-to-move grain
  • Transfers grain pressure to the bin floor instead of the sweep gearbox
  • Lifts from the floor and travels with the sweep as the bin empties
  • Available in two sizes. 

“Break up and deflect crusted grain before it reaches the center sump—and keep grain moving through the unload system.”—Cory Vaselaar, Sudenga Engineer

How it works

When the bin is full, grain pressure pushes the Grain Halo’s feet against the bin floor. This transfers the load into the floor rather than placing it directly on the sweep gearbox. Positioned above the center sump, the Grain Halo helps break apart crusted, caked or compacted grain before larger clumps can restrict flow.

As the bin unloads and grain pressure decreases, the Grain Halo lifts from the floor and travels with the sweep. It remains connected throughout normal unloading, so operators do not need to enter the bin to disconnect, remove or reposition it.

By helping manage difficult grain conditions while moving with the sweep, the Grain Halo supports the zero-entry capabilities of applicable Sudenga sweep systems.

Safety notice: Always follow the equipment manual, established lockout/tagout procedures and all applicable grain-bin entry requirements.

Available in two sizes

The Grain Halo is available as an optional accessory for the following Sudenga power sweeps. Select the Grain Halo size that matches your sweep configuration.

FAQ

What problem does the Grain Halo solve?

It helps break apart crusted or clumped grain before it can restrict flow through the center sump.

Does the Grain Halo carry the weight of the grain?

Its feet transfer pressure from the stored grain to the bin floor, helping keep that load off the sweep gearbox.

Does it need to be removed before operating the sweep?

No. As grain pressure decreases, the Grain Halo lifts from the floor and travels with the sweep during normal unloading.

Does the Grain Halo support zero-entry unloading?

Yes, when used with an applicable Sudenga sweep system. It does not need to be disconnected or repositioned from inside the bin during normal unloading.

Will it fit my existing sweep?

Compatibility depends on the sweep and bin configuration. An authorized Sudenga dealer can determine the correct size and whether the Grain Halo can be installed on the system.
