Grain-moving products

If you handle grain, you know it's important to get your harvested crop in and out of your storage facility safely. One of the best ways to do this is to purchase the most safe grain conveyors you can find.

Sukup double run conveyor

The latest introduction from Sukup Manufacturing, the Double Run Conveyor (shown above), rounds out its grain-handling lineup. This conveyor not only replaces a roof auger, transfer auger, dryer take-away auger but also includes a permanently installed transport auger.

What sets a Double Run Conveyor apart from other grain-handling products is its simplicity. Easy to install in any operation, setup time is cut in half because the conveyor will arrive at your farm with preattached tubes, chains, and paddles.

Grain flows through the bottom tube, and the chain and paddles return in the top tube. This xonveying method is efficient, easy on the grain, and generates better overall grain quality.

With different sizes to choose from, you can build a system that fits your operation. The Double Run is similar to the Chain Loop Conveyor, and the two work well together. Double Run Conveyors can be used on commercial or farm sites.
