Sudenga - Model Max D-Series -Commercial Bin Sweeps
A true zero-entry sweep system that handles the extreme demands of commercial grain handling applications. D Series zero-entry commercial sweeps available for grain bins up to 139’ diameter. 11¼” D100 and D150 models available in capacities to 6,000 BPH. 16” D150 models available for capacities to 10,000 BPH. Sweeps are advanced by a motorized push tractor or floor mounted track drive. Patented above floor electrical collector ring and auto advance sweep controls allow the sweep to be wired permanently and controlled totally from outside the bin.
"With this sweep, Sudenga really has cleaning big grain bins figured out. We’ve had other sweeps in this 105 foot diameter tank, but we finally ended up with Sudenga’s D150 Commercial Sweep. Not only are we able to stay out of the bin more, it actually cut the unload time of the previous sweep by over half simply because it performs better." READ MORE.
Clean sweep: Standard on all sweeps. Nylon bristles contact the floor, dramatically reducing the amount of manual sweeping required after bin unloading.
Sweep extensions: Four sweep extensions and backshields are supplied to allow 3” to 21” of sweep extension in 3” increments. The sweep length is adjusted after installation to make the shortest sweep-to-wall gap in bins that are out of round or have off-center sweep pivots.
Spring loaded suspension: Automatically, under grain weight, settle the system on skids to protect the sweep and bin floor when the bin is filled. When grain weight is removed, the springs raise the sweeps and tractors to operating height. The tractor carries the sweep during operation, ensuring proper sweep advancement.
Wood block hanger bearings: Bearings located in 10 feet intervals.
The sweeps lead with the flighting for a “full-bite” in tough, stubborn grain.
Available in electric or hydraulic drive formats
Trac drive or tractor drive: Both drive types offer positive forward and reverse movement in grain. The drives rest on the bin floor under grain weight and self-raise for operation as the gates remove grain over and around them. No need to enter the bin to prep the sweep.
Patented collector ring: No need to enter the bin! Sweeps with the Sudenga above-floor collector ring option are as close to zero-entry as possible in normal sweep operation. Mounting the electrical collector ring above the floor means less space is required under the floor for the center sump. Sump depth is only 16”. The sweep is permanently installed, and the collector ring provides permanent power to the sweep and tractor drives.
Auto advance: Controls sweep movement by monitoring the sweep motor amperage. When excessive amperage is detected, the auto advance stops the sweep drive. When enough grain is carried away to lower the amperage, the drive unit restarts. A reverse feature senses grain avalanches and backs the sweep up.
