Grain Features

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.

We have over 125 years of manufacturing experience and have had many new products and innovations over the years but this year we are especially excited about our new lineup of grain handling equipment and we think you will be too!

Did you know that if you take the time to swing a traditional auger hopper under your grain trailer each time you unload during harvest, you are adding roughly 4 minutes of repositioning time, and effort to each load? If you add up that 4 minutes per load on a thousand-acre field you are actually adding over 8 hours of time to your grain unloading process during harvest.

Save time during harvest with one of our new portable drive over hoppers. The PDOH 125 features capacities up to 12,500 BPH and the PDOH Double allows you to unload both truck hoppers at the same time!

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.
