5. Power Requirements

Power requirements are dependent on grain type, condition and moisture level. Power requirements are suggestions and may vary in specific circumstances. Steps can be taken t o reduce the power needed to operate the unload or sweep if power available to the site is limited. Operating the unload at a slower speed and reducing the flow of grain into the unload will reduce power requirement.
Electric Drive
All values in horsepower, (1 HP = 0.746 Kw). A pulley for the electric drive motor is not provided. For 1750 RPM motor use 3-1/2" - 3-3/4" diameter pulley, for 1460 RPM motor use 4-1/4" - 4-1/2" diameter pulley. For power requirements from 1.5 HP-7.5 HP use a two (2) groove pulley. For power requirements from 10 HP-25 HP use a three (3) groove pulley.

6. Operation

Position sweep as shown before filling.
Pre-operation Check List
1. Before filling the grain bin, check to ensure that all unload components are functioning properly.
2. Rotate drive unit and flight to ensure flight is free of obstruction and rotating smoothly.
3. Open and closed all unload gates to ensure that they are operating freely.
4. LEAVE GATES IN THE CLOSED POSITION WHEN FILLING THE BIN.
5. Operate gearbox shifter to ensure the clutch is functioning properly.
6. GEARBOX SHOULD BE DISENGAGED WHEN FILLING THE BIN.
7. Position the bin sweep above the intermediate gates or such that the interme diate gates are just in front of the sweep.
8. After the bin is filled with product, keep moisture from entering the grain bin at the center and draining down into the unload and sweep drive area.
9. Before beginning to unload grain, check the grain condition at the top of the bin. Remove any clumps of grain as they may restrict flow into the gates.
Figure 6A
Page 31
6. Operation
ALWAYS UNLOAD FROM THE CENTER GATE FIRST. Unloading from the intermediate gates when the bin is still mostly full, causes excessive stress on the grain bin and can cause the grain bin to be damaged or collapse.
Intermediate gate control
Center gate control
For bin sizes 15'-36' the center gate is controlled independent of the intermediate gates. For bin sizes 42' diameter and larger the intermediate gate closest to the center gate is operated with the center gate control. When the center gate is 50% open, the next intermediate gate is opened together with the center gate such. Similarly, the center and next intermediate gate are closed together.
