Grain bin dangers: From the time the auger starts, you have…2-3 seconds to react; 4-5 seconds until you’re trapped; 22 seconds until you’re completely covered.

Eric Wright, a feed truck driver at KBQ Inc., tells us about a memorable experience he had while driving his Atlas rear unload feed trailer.

Did you know Sudenga offers three different types of finishes on our bucket elevators? Painted, sheet metal galvanized and hot-dipped galvanized. When we offer these choices to the customer we are frequently asked, “What’s the difference?” Our response involves a conversation about what is important to the customer.

Sudenga offers two distinct models of dual inlet receiving pits, permanent and portable. Both have unique and innovative features and benefits associated with how they are installed (or not installed), but the primary benefit is the same, receive at high capacities, from both hoppers of a grain trailer without moving it multiple times.

It is almost fall and chances are a key piece of your harvest equipment is sitting there quietly waiting for the chance to work. The portable auger is often the last piece of equipment people think about as they service their combines, trucks and tractors in preparation for harvest. But don’t overlook the humble portable auger when it comes to pre harvest service. It can stop harvest operations cold if it breaks down.

“Too often farmers and agricultural workers are unaware of what could happen and get entrapped in flowing grain, and some die…We also hope to train emergency personnel proper rescue techniques to use when there is an entrapped victim.”
