DESIGN
& CONSTRUCTION
Our
bins are designed and engineered to ensure maximum strength where its needed and
deliver maximum performance and operational efficiency. Many safety features are
included to protect the operators. First grade and high quality materials and
components are used which ensures an investment which will provide many years of
profitable service. New 5-spoke semi trailer hubs on new axles are fitted with
new tubeless rims and sound second hand tyres.
DRIVES
Power
is delivered from the tractor through a quick detachable telescopic PTO drive
with universal joints, overload slip clutch and safety shields directly to the
horizontal sweep auger drive spindle at the front of the bin. The discharge
auger is chain driven via the right angle drive gearbox.
AUGERS
The
sweep auger with a removable cover runs the full length of the bin, it is
supported by sealed bearings at intervals along its length. The discharge auger
is bolted to a hopper casing at the base, the upper end of the lower section is
bolted to the left hand front corner of the bin, the upper section is hinged at
this point. An automatic spring-loaded coupling engages the drive to the upper
flight when the auger is extended. A 900mm stroke hydraulic cylinder operates
the auger extension. Hydraulic shutters inside the bin regulate the flow of
grain to the discharge auger, an indicator is located at the front of the bin to
display the opening width to the operator. The larger bins have two sections of
shutters which allows grain to be drawn from the centre or the rear of the bin.
OPERATION
The
high centre of the roof line allows for maximum usable volume. Each of the professionally
made tarps roll up an incline to the centre, opening the entire bin, this allows
for easy filling from the header or chaser bin. Front and rear, internal and
external ladder access is provided as well as a full length upper catwalk. A
very heavy tow hitch and turning system enables the partly filled bin to be
moved across level ground without fear of damage.
GRAIN
CLEAN-OUT
A
one-piece removable slide runs the full length directly under the sweep auger,
easily removed, this allows for thorough cleaning. The discharge auger hopper is
also fitted with cleanout covers.
