Fiberglass Double Chute For Silos

Fiberglass double chute for silos CROP STORAGE Silos (50) 17-2-26 Keeping the silo feed delivery chute separate from the climbing chute eliminates feed buildup on doors and keeps the climbing chute clean at all times, says the manufacturer of a new fiberglass "double chute" for silos. The double chute adapts to most conventional silos and unloading systems. It consists of a fiberglass feed chute that bolts to the back of a larger fiberglass chute that's used only for climbing. Special "forage funnels" are used to carry silage from the unloader to doors in the feed delivery chute, keeping the climbing chute clean. "Conventional silo chutes are dark, damp, and dirty, but our double chute system keeps you dry and clean all the time," says Roger Wollin, president. "The feed delivery chute eliminates feed buildup on silo doors, and the fiberglass construction eliminates rust and corrosion. The fiberglass is translucent and lets in sunlight which quickly dries any moisture." Double chute components come in 30 and 90-in. long sections to accommodate all silo heights and door spacings. The "forage "forage funnel" comes in two parts, making it easy to move whenever you lower the silo unloader. Several accessories are available. A 2 1/ 2-ft. long extender bolts onto the bottom of the double chute to let you use your silo unloader to completely empty the silo. Also available is a discharge funnel that bolts onto the bottom of the chute to direct feed flow into a cart, wagon, etc. And there's an optional roof dormer that mounts on top of the chute that has a door to allow dust to escape from the silo as it's being filled. The double chute sells for about $60 per foot. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Fiberdome Inc., Box 11, 202 Sandy Beach Road, Lake Mills, Wis. 53551 (ph 414 648-8376).
