Description
Optimize Your Grain Bin Sweep Performance
Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your grain bin unloading system with the Haven Industries Grain Saver 10:1 Reduction Drive Wheel (SKU: 802-00-1003). This robust component is expertly designed to enhance the performance of your existing grain bin sweep auger, ensuring a cleaner bin floor and more reliable operation.
Engineered for Superior Grip and Durability:
The Grain Saver 10:1 Reduction Drive Wheel is built to withstand the demanding conditions inside a grain bin. Key features contributing to its exceptional performance include:
- Aggressive, High-Traction Tread: Wrapped with heavy-duty, abrasive-resistant rubber featuring an aggressive tread pattern. This design ensures a superior grip on the bin floor, effectively digging through compacted grain and minimizing slippage. It provides the necessary driving force to move the sweep auger consistently through the grain pile.
- 10:1 Gear Reduction: The integrated 10:1 gear reduction mechanism significantly slows the rotation of the drive wheel compared to the 5:1 model. This even more controlled movement is ideal for larger bins or tougher grain conditions, further preventing the sweep auger from advancing too quickly, minimizing wheel spin and grain damage, and ensuring the most thorough clean-out along the bin wall.
- Sealed Housing: The drive wheel incorporates a sealed housing designed to protect the internal gear mechanism from grain dust and debris. This crucial feature enhances durability and extends the service life of the component, ensuring reliable performance season after season.
- Adjustable Mount Design: Features an adjustable mounting system, allowing for precise positioning of the sweep backboard closer to the bin floor. This adjustability helps optimize the sweep's cleaning efficiency, minimizing the amount of grain left behind.
- Clump Busting Action: The robust design and aggressive tread also aid in breaking up clumps of grain that may form along the bin wall, facilitating smoother auger operation.
Benefits of the 5:1 Reduction Drive Wheel:
- Improved Cleaning Efficiency: Ensures the sweep auger maintains consistent contact with the bin floor and moves at an optimal speed for thorough grain removal.
- Enhanced Durability: The sealed housing and heavy-duty rubber construction provide long life, even in abrasive grain environments.
- Reduced Grain Damage: Slower, controlled movement minimizes grain disturbance and potential damage during the sweep process.
- Increased Reliability: Provides consistent driving force, reducing the chances of the sweep getting stuck in compacted grain.
- Optimized Sweep Positioning: The adjustable mount allows for fine-tuning the sweep's proximity to the bin floor.
Upgrade your grain bin sweep system with the Haven Industries Grain Saver 10:1 Reduction Drive Wheel for the most efficient, reliable, and thorough unloading process, especially suited for larger bins or challenging grain conditions. This component is an essential upgrade for optimizing the performance of compatible sweep auger systems requiring slower, more powerful advancement.

Compatibility and Application:
Understanding how the Grain Saver 10:1 Reduction Drive Wheel fits into your grain handling system is crucial for optimal performance. While this specific product (SKU: 802-00-1003) represents a fixed configuration (10:1 ratio, 20" diameter), consider the following for application:
- Intended Use: This reduction drive wheel is designed as a component for Haven Industries Grain Saver® sweep auger systems, particularly where controlled sweep speed is desired for efficient bin cleanout.
- Sweep Auger Compatibility: Verify compatibility with your specific sweep auger model. This 10:1 reduction wheel, with its larger 20" diameter, is typically suited for larger bin diameters or applications requiring a slower, more powerful sweep advancement compared to the 5:1 model.
- Why 10:1 Reduction? A 10:1 ratio significantly slows the sweep's travel speed compared to both direct drive (1:1) and 5:1 reduction wheels. This slower speed is particularly beneficial for:
- Allowing the auger more time to move grain towards the center sump.
- Reducing wheel slippage, especially in densely packed or tough grain.
- Minimizing grain disturbance and potential damage.
- Improving the longevity of the rubber tread by reducing rotational speed.
- System Requirements: Ensure your sweep auger's drive system is compatible with a 1" shaft connection, as indicated by the 1" flange bearing used in this wheel assembly.
- Alternative Configurations: Haven Industries offers different reduction ratios (e.g., 5:1 with a 12" diameter wheel, SKU 802-00-1001) and potentially other wheel diameters for various bin sizes, auger capacities, or specific grain conditions. Consult the manufacturer or your dealer if your requirements differ from this standard 10:1, 20" model.
Note: Always refer to your primary sweep auger system's manual for installation guidelines and ensure all safety procedures are followed. Proper adjustment, as detailed in the Haven Industries Sweep Reduction Wheel Operator's Manual, is essential for performance and longevity.
