Grain Features

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.

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.

Sudenga is proud to introduce the newest member of our chain conveyor line, a tubular style chain conveyor we like to call the Double Barrel.

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.”

Cleaning out your grain bin doesn’t have to be back breaking work. Put the shovels away and let Sudenga’s sweeps go to work. Here are several features that set Sudenga’s sweeps apart from the competition.

The difference is in the details. Sudenga is an industry leader in the design and manufacturing of bucket elevators. Our products incorporate the latest advances in manufacturing technology and production methods to produce solid, reliable systems.

“I have run over 100 million bushels & counting through it. The Ultra Scoop has not only impressed me, but my customers with the speed in which we can pick up grain,” said Rory Hoffman of Hoffman Grain Services in Plainview, Nebraska.

Simplify your harvest routine with this patent pending trailer alignment system from Sudenga Industries. On the mark all the time.

The typical operation spends an extra 25% of their time repositioning portable truck unloading equipment during grain harvest season
in addition to the time they actually spend unloading grain. You can save approximately three minutes a load by using a portable drive over hopper versus using a swing hopper style portable auger.
