Direct Drive Bin Sweep The Direct Drive Sweep operates both an unloading auger and the sweep auger with one motor on the external power head. This sweep is permanently installed and should be positioned near the intermediate wells before filling the bin.		Standard Bins Sweep -------------------- Direct Drive Sweep Auger -------------------- Commercial Unloader -------------------- Commercial Series II Sweeps -------------------- Bin Wells -------------------- Power Heads Powder Paint Coated The direct drive sweep center wells are powder coated to help combat corrosion, and feature a double gear box assembly. This takes the power from the under-bin auger and transmits power to the sweep. Offset Intermediate Well Intermediate wells are made with galvanized steel for increased durability and extended life. See our Bin Wells page for other available options.

To unload the bin, the unloading auger is started with the sweep clutch disengaged and the center well gate opened using the center gate control rod. When the grain stops flowing to the center, open the intermediate wells. After intermediate grain flow stops, turn off the motor and engage the sweep with the clutch control rod. Finally, restart the power head motor and the Direct Drive Sweep will pull grain into the center well while rotating around the bottom of the bin. All of this is done from the OUTSIDE of the bin. To save you time, the power heads attach with a square connector making it easier to move it from one bin to another.

	Steel Clutch A solid steel clutch is enclosed in a separate chamber, keeping fines and debris from damaging the chain transmission. (Cover removed for illustration.) The removable cover provides easy access to the clutch compartment. This makes for simple maintenance and lubrication.

We include a control rod kit, which comes with 3 rods; one to control the center well, one for the intermediate wells, and one to control the clutch, and of course, all the handles and hardware too.

Bearing Support Intermediate sweep bearings stabilize the flight auger against the weight of the grain. On the end of the sweep, a rubber wheel helps move the auger forward and provides additional support keeping the sweep flighting from touching the bin floor.
