Speedy Tender Unloads To Either Side

Speedy Tender Unloads To Either Side GRAIN HANDLING Wagons 63E The VPA1000 has a 30-ton capacity and can unload up to 5 000 lbs per min Rated at 43 percent faster than standard unloading speeds the variable position auger has a dual chute auger design with multiple features “The fast unload rate has been very well received by our customers ” says Andy Young Heartland Ag a division of Titan Machinery “However the versatility of discharging and storing the auger to either side of the tender is also appreciated ” The fully sealed slew drive worm gear system raises and rotates the auger into position across a 270-degree range Young explains that the slew drive allows the auger to move from one side to the other When unloading is complete the 22-ft auger breaks with the upper end rotating into cradles on either side Other aspects of the auger that have captured prospective users’ attention include hydraulic cam valves that automatically stop hydraulic flow when rotated to stop and prevent rotation of the auger when it’s in its cradle “Multiple cams valves at different points on the tender ensure a stored auger won’t rotate away from the tender and crash into a bin or other equipment ” says Young “A cam valve also prevents it from over-rotating and causing damage ” A unique auger connection system eliminates leakage and product buildup common in two-piece augers Also unique are the 50-degree sides of the six-compartment bin They provide faster and more complete cleanout than the more common 40-degree or less bin sides “Steeper sides mean less need to get up in the bin when unloading while eliminating the need for vibrators to release material ” says Young A quick-attach pit dump system option adds greater versatility Hydraulic hardlines run the length of the trailer and unloading auger The custom-designed hydraulic manifold with integrated pressure gauges relief valves and control modules improves operator control If hydraulic pressure is lost or the control lever is released an integrated brake system secures the auger in its cradle Young suggests contacting the company for pricing Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Titan Machinery 1180 State Hwy 7 E Hutchinson Minn 55350 ph 320-587-4030; https://www titanmachinery com/heartland-ag-systems-equipment-vpa-1000-tenders
