Description
High-Capacity, Heavy-Duty Unloading with Integrated Power Sweep
Maximize the efficiency and reliability of your grain unloading process with the Haven Industries Grain Saver U-Trough Power Sweep Unload System (SKU: 802-18-1102U). This robust system is engineered for high-capacity grain handling, combining the benefits of a U-trough conveyor with an integrated power sweep for complete bin cleanout in demanding agricultural environments.
Engineered for Performance and Longevity:
The Grain Saver U-Trough Power Sweep system is built with heavy-duty components designed for durability and sustained performance:
- High-Capacity U-Trough: Features a substantial U-trough (available in 8" or 10" sizes) designed for efficient bulk grain movement. U-troughs offer higher capacity compared to tube augers of the same diameter.
- Integrated Power Sweep: Includes a heavy-duty bin sweep specifically designed to work within the U-trough system, ensuring grain is effectively moved towards the intermediate gates and center sump during the final cleanout phase.
- Robust Gearbox Assembly: Incorporates both upper and lower gearbox assemblies, engineered for reliable power transmission to the unload screw and the sweep drive mechanism.
- Precise Gate Control: Equipped with roller slide gates and rack-and-pinion controls for smooth, precise management of grain flow from the intermediate hoppers and center well.
- Splined Coupler: The unload screw features a splined coupler, ensuring a secure and durable connection to the drive system.
- Sweep Drive & Safety: Includes the sweep drive mechanism (often requiring a reduction wheel or tractor, potentially sold separately) and a bin sweep safety stop for enhanced operational safety.
- Adjustable Backboard: The sweep features an adjustable backboard, allowing for customization to fit various bin diameters accurately.
- Complete Installation Kit: Comes with necessary hopper flanges and a bin wall plate for proper sealing and installation.
Benefits of the U-Trough Power Sweep Unload System:
- High Unloading Capacity: The U-trough design facilitates faster grain movement compared to standard tube augers.
- Efficient Cleanout: The integrated power sweep minimizes residual grain, reducing labor and potential spoilage.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built for longevity with robust gearboxes and durable materials.
- Enhanced Safety Features: Includes a bin sweep safety stop and promotes less bin entry.
- Precise Control: Rack and pinion controls allow for accurate gate adjustments.
- System Flexibility: Available in 8" and 10" sizes, compatible with a wide range of bin diameters (19'-78' according to manual).
Choose the Haven Industries Grain Saver U-Trough Power Sweep Unload System for a premium, high-capacity, and durable solution for your grain bin unloading needs. This system is ideal for larger farm bins or commercial operations requiring efficient and reliable grain handling.

Configuration and Compatibility:
Configuring the Grain Saver U-Trough Power Sweep Unload System involves selecting options based on your bin specifications and performance requirements:
- Bin Diameter: Select the system designed for your exact bin diameter. This dictates the overall length and number of intermediate hopper gates.
- Unload Size: Choose between the 8" or 10" U-trough system based on desired capacity (Bushels Per Hour) and compatibility with downstream equipment. 10" systems offer higher capacity but require more power.
- Power Requirements: Consult the horsepower requirement charts in the Haven Industries U-Trough PowerSweep Manual. Required motor horsepower depends heavily on:
- U-Trough Size (8" or 10")
- Bin Diameter
- Unload Configuration (Horizontal or Inclined discharge)
- Type of grain and moisture content.
- Powerhead Selection: Choose a compatible Haven Industries U-Trough Powerhead (Horizontal or Inclined) matching the selected U-trough size.
- Sweep Drive Options: While the system includes a sweep drive mechanism, consider optional upgrades like the Grain Saver Reduction Wheel (5:1 or 10:1) or a Sweep Tractor for improved traction and control, especially in larger bins or difficult grain conditions (as shown in product page images).
- Installation: Correct installation as per the U-Trough PowerSweep Manual is crucial. This includes proper alignment, support, anchoring, and sealing, especially when installed with aeration floors.
- Safety: Strictly adhere to all safety protocols detailed in the manual, including lockout/tagout procedures, bin entry precautions, and ensuring all guards are in place before operation.
Note: This description outlines the general system. Specific components, horsepower needs, and operational nuances depend on the chosen configuration. Always refer to the official Haven Industries manuals and consult your dealer to confirm specifications for your application.
