Silo unloader for difficult products
Tackle challenging silo extractions with a robust unloading system designed for high-speed discharge of materials like soy seeds and wood pellets, ensuring efficient product flow and minimal residual build-up.
Facilitates Complete Silo Unloading
The Hydrasweep from Morillon is a high-capacity hydraulic sweep auger designed to optimize the unloading of bulk materials stored in silos. Combining the innovative design of the Spirogyre sweep auger with a robust hydraulic motor, this equipment ensures efficient extraction of challenging products like soy seeds, wood pellets, and grains. Once gravity-based unloading concludes, the Hydrasweep activates its auger, completing the process through a 360° rotation within the silo, requiring no human intervention. It is ideal for agriculture and port storage industries, capable of handling up to 500 tonnes per hour, and suitable for silos spanning 27 to 60 meters in diameter. The fully automatic operation integrates seamlessly into existing systems, offering a safe and reliable solution resistant to product sliding or falling. Optional ATEX certification ensures safe operation in explosive atmospheres, while low maintenance requirements and built-in brushes enhance longevity and reliability.
