THE SWEEPWAY® IS THE ULTIMATE GRAIN BIN UNLOADING SYSTEM.

The unloading sweep is permanently installed in the bin for easy operation. No heavy sweep and motor to carry in and out.  The Sweepway® saves time and labor. There’s no need to enter the bin; the Sweepway® advances into the grain, removing it without back-breaking scooping.

Special design prevents opening the intermediate sumps without opening the center sump to protect the sidewalls from uneven unloading. Intermediate sumps are welded to the unload tube
at the factory, so there’s no assembly necessary.  An independent intermediate sump is standard on 8” and 10” Sweepways®. The independent intermediate sump can be used to unload bin
without stressing sidewalls if center sump becomes blocked.

Exclusive polyurethane reduction drive wheel comes standard on sweeps in bins 36’ and larger using 8” and 10” Sweepway® Power Sweeps. New 16-to-1 drive decreases wheel speed without
sacrificing forward movement. All other Sweepways have standard 4-to-1 Reduction Drive Wheel. With the lower speeds, wheel slippage is reduced and wheel life is prolonged

STANDARD FEATURES

• Available in 8" and 10" diameter sizes
• Sukup uses 7-gauge flighting on 8” Sweepway^® unload augers, and ¼” flighting on 10” Sweepways; that means you’re getting commercial-grade strength and durability in each and every unit
• Sukup’s exclusive sweep stop allows only one revolution of the auger
• Special design prevents opening the intermediate sumps without opening the center sump. This protects the sidewalls from uneven unloading damage.
• Intermediate sumps are welded to the unload tube at the factory so there’s no assembly necessary
• Number of intermediate sumps is based on bin diameter; up to six sumps are used
• Powerheads are assembled at factory

GALVANIZED BACKBOARD

• The Sweepway Power Sweep is equipped with a galvanized backboard that keeps the sweep close to the floor as it propels itself around the bin
• Galvanized steel is formed into a C shape to make an extra-strong backboard
• A torsion bar runs along the back of the C channel for added strength and rigidity
• Patented scrapers (U.S Patent #6,254,329) are attached to the backboard to ensure the most grain possible is picked up off the floor
• Scrapers are field-adjustable to meet your needs
• Pivoting backboard allowing for floor height variations

CENTER SUMP

• The unique design of Sweepway’s center sump increases unloading capacities and ensures trouble-free operation
• Upper and lower gearboxes are offset to provide a larger opening for the grain to flow
• The unload flighting extends past the bin center to maximize capacity
• Heavy-duty clutch enables the unload auger to operate without the power sweep so you can unload with gravity before engaging the power sweep
• Clutch is engaged from outside the bin so there is no need to enter the bin during unloading
• Sukup manufactures and assembles the gearbox and center sump to ensure top quality
• The self-cleaning center sump and slide gates allow you to control the flow of grain from the bin
• Long-lasting sealed roller bearings (standard) make it easier for the center slide gate to move under pressure from high grain depths; Intermediate sumps of 8” and 10” come equipped with sealed roller bearings
• Sweepway Power Sweep 6” center sumps require 12” of clearance from top of floor to concrete; Sweepway 8” and 10” sumps require 13-¼” clearance

POWERHEADS

• The powerhead design for Sukup unload systems makes belt adjustments easier
• A hinge on all powerheads allows the belt to be tightened simply by turning one ¾” bolt
• By removing the hinge pin, the motor may be easily moved to another bin
• Sukup’s special design allows you to pull the unload flighting without removing the powerhead. Sukup units are much easier to service
• Sukup unload augers attach to the gearbox with a square shaft rather than bolting to it. This makes it easy to remove the auger from the gearbox

VERTICAL AUGERS

• Provide the highest unloading capacities in the industry
• Double flighting at the bottom of the vertical auger picks up grain from the horizontal unload tube faster, increasing capacity without needing a larger-diameter vertical tube
• Special boot design on vertical tube provides unrestricted grain flow from the horizontal unload tube into the vertical
• Available in 8” or 10" diameters, top or bottom drive

GALVANIZED INCLINE AUGERS

• Inclines on 8” systems are 5’, 25°. Inclines on 10” systems are 7’, 20°
• Tube diameter goes from 8” to 10” on 8” systems; and from 10” to 12” on 10” systems
• Heavy-duty universal joint with support bushing
• Inclines attach to bin with two chains. Units may be ordered with optional support leg
• Optional Quick Disconnect and Wheel Kits are available to move incline powerhead from bin to bin
