Interceptor
The Safest Sweep In The Industry!
The Interceptor is designed for bins with no existing power or screw conveyor unload available on site.
- Manufactured for bins from 15' up to 60'.
- Single or multiple passes.
- Up to 5,500 bushel per hour.
- Designed for bins with no existing power or screw conveyor unload.
- Drive is driven by a paddle chain. No additional power sources needed.
- Heavy duty paddle chain & explosion proof motor.
- Rubber drag helps clean the floor for minimal sweeping.
- Paddle Sweep Safely and Gently Moves Grain to Sump
- Designed to be fully submersed in grain.
- Can unbury itself from a grain avalanche.
- Moves grain gently and evenly to sump.
- Does not plug or stall when overrunning the sweep.
- The tire is designed to slip to keep the sweep from climbing the pile.
- The drive wheel is closer to the center of gravity, so the weight of the sweep is transferred to the tire better, eliminating the need for a weight bracket.
- The VFD system is now an available option for the 230v and 460v Interceptor!
- VFDs are used in applications where:
- Complete speed control is desired.
- Energy savings is a goal.
- Custom control is preferred.
- VFDs are used in applications where:
Note: These values can fluctuate greatly depending on the varying conditions present, including but not limited to; moisture content, grain commodity type and flowability, amount of foreign matter present, and compaction rate. These all play a part in the performance of the paddle sweep. Paddle sweep capacity may also vary as the angle of the sloping grain varies. For optimal performance, dry flowable grain is recommended. The paddle sweep is not intended for use in high moisture grain storage applications or suitable for non-grain commodities including fertilizer, lime, etc. Also, grain that may have gone out of condition due to moisture or insect activity and has become hard or caked will result in diminished capacity.
