Center Unload Auger Moves From Bin To Bin

Center unload auger moves from bin to bin GRAIN HANDLING Augers (4) 10-3-3 With the Keho center auger system, only the tube remains in each bin. You move the 6-in. dia. flighting and power head from bin to bin so you can outfit a number of bins, minimizing unloading system costs. The one piece flighting/power head snaps into place and is hydraulically powered off your truck or tractor. To completely empty the bin, an optional hydraulically-powered sweep auger attaches to the pivot frame. A cap fits over the main tube when the tube's not in use. Barb Gullickson, promotions manager for the manufacturer, Keho Alta Products, Barons, Alta., notes that the center unload system easily adapts to existing bins with wooden or concrete floors. An under-floor tube is available for new construction, or for bins with fully perforated floors. The tube features a sump slide door, positioned about 1¢ ft. from the bin wall, that you can open to empty grain from around the bin door. System also has a safety control valve so auger shuts down if something catches in the flighting. Flighting and tubes are available to fit different dia. bins. System for a 14-ft. bin, including the tube, flighting, and power head sells for $611. Optional sweep auger sells for $674. Additional tubes sell for $236.
