Grain System Design around the Grain Pump
Barry Smith Australian grain handling facility at Ariah Park.
The Hutchinson Grain Pump is the most versatile grain handling system in the market today.
Increase your versatility and provide expansion capabilities at the same time with your storage system. The grain system design around the Hutchinson Grain Pump lets you move product with gentle efficiency and at high capacities requiring less horsepower and causing less damage to grain. Hutchinson's unique UHMW paddle keeps grain flowing gently and evenly from inlet to discharge, taking the place of traditional auger flighting. The closed loop grain system design offers the versatility to create a complete load-in/load-out system with re-circulation capabilities.
Upgrading Your Grain System Design
The Grain Pump can be designed into a plan underneath a row of bins or in an existing in-line system.
- An entire family of attachments and options enable the system to accommodate any bin combination.
- Provides expansion capabilities
- Needs less maintenance that traditional conveying methods
- Can reduce drying costs by blending higher moisture and dried grain from one bin to another
- Available in 6", 8", 10", 12, and 16" diameters.
From family farm to commercial operations, this arrangement will handle any size operation with ease.
