3.1 Features
•Commercial
Theoretical Capacity: 1,000 BPH (bushels per hour) and up to 5,500 BPH. 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.

Designed to be fully submersed in grain
2 to 15 HP explosion proof motor
Adjustable chain and motor mounts
