Sweep Auger

Flat Bottom Silos cannot be completely emptied by gravity as the stored products are granular (not liquid) and have an internal friction which does not allow for gravity discharge of the final cone. Sweep augers can be installed on the floor of the silos to convey the residual product to the central outlet. They are equipped with a central pivot and electrically operated drive unit as well as a peripheral mechanically operated drive which allow for simultaneous planetary rotation and radial conveying of the product. The SIMEZA manufacturing range includes N°2 size of sweep auger, for 50 and 100 t/h capacity, both with ATEX 21 certification.
