Sump Saver

Storing excessively moist, clumped or frozen grain can prevent proper product flow when blockages cover the auger in a grain bin. A plugged auger is a nuisance and results in delays and additional costs when you must stop work to unplug it. Fixing the problem by going inside the bin presents a real danger in grain operations, as it can result in entrapment, injury or death.

The Grain Bin Sump Saver is a machinery solution that breaks up frozen or clumped grain for increased efficiency and safer grain flow. It preserves your economic resources by clearing blockages quickly without safety risks. The Sump Saver unit works inside the grain bin to slice and eliminate clumps rapidly while you remain safe outside the container.

Benefits of a Sump Saver for Safe Grain Handling

When there is an issue in your grain bin, it’s more than an annoyance — it’s a risk to human safety. If the grain is in columns along the walls, they can collapse and create a grain avalanche, trapping anyone inside. Walking on the surface is also dangerous because of the possibility of bridging — when the top layer of grain has created a thin crust. This bridge will give away under even minimal weight, causing the person to fall inside.

Whether the grain moving equipment is on or off, these situations may result in serious injuries or death.

The Sump Saver helps you safely unplug the grain bin sump without leaving your tractor or stepping inside the bin. The Sump Saver Mighty Mini model includes various benefits and safety features like:

• A powerful motor: The hydraulic motor eliminates clumps with up to 6,000 pounds of torque.
• Sharp, durable fingers: Half-inch clearing fingers are engineered to slice through blockages without bending.
• Multi-directional rotation: Rotating clearing fingers operate forward and reverse from outside the bin.
• Sturdy support: The heavy-duty steel frame supports the central axis of the clearing fingers as they work.
• Robust hydraulics: The hydraulic unit handles clumps as they approach the grain bin sump.
• Maximum safety: Exterior hydraulic hoses restore grain flow safely without the operator entering the bin.
• Improved efficiency: The functionality allows operators to work through an obstruction without exiting their tractors, increasing efficiency.

Mighty Mini Sump Saver Installation

Install the Sump Saver Mighty Mini unit in the most effective position next to an above-floor auger mouth or over the bin auger intake on the floor. Attached to the machine are hydraulic hoses lying on the bin floor and connecting to a fitting on the bin side. When there is a free-flow issue with the grain, operators can quickly join the exterior hoses to the tractor’s hydraulics. You can stop operating the Sump Saver once you see grain flowing freely without damaged areas.

Installation is fast and easy, requiring no complex tools.

The Sump Saver is a beneficial choice because it saves time and money and keeps your operations safer since you do not need to go inside the bin. Enforce essential grain handling safety standards and break up blockages in a matter of seconds so you can get back to work safer and sooner.

Sump Saver Portable Power Packs

The Sump Saver offers two power pack options for your convenience, including a gas-driven pump or a three-phase electric pump. These packs provide an affordable solution to multi-location operations without tractors or skid steers to power the units at each site. Sump Saver power packs offer easy transport and are chargeable with food-grade oil.

Improving Auger Safety

New technology like the Sump Saver continues to improve safety throughout the agricultural industry. As farms around the country become more technologically advanced, the demand for increased output and more efficient operation continues to grow. Industry innovations and leading product distributors like LCDM help operations increase yields while creating a safer operating environment for workers and equipment.

Augers pose one of the most significant hazards in any grain-related operation. With the ability to operate from the safety and comfort of a tractor seat, the Sump Saver works in forward or reverse directions to break up the clog without employees stepping foot in the grain bin. Besides increasing safety, the sump saver improves your operation and cost efficiency by eliminating unnecessary hours of unplugging the auger and manually unclogging the container.
