Sweep auger for flat bottom silos
Optimize your grain storage operations with a fully automatic sweep auger designed to efficiently extract and unload remaining products from flat bottom silos, ensuring maximum storage utilization and minimal manual intervention.
Extracts Residual Grains from Flat Bottom Silos
The Spirogyre from Morillon is a sweep auger engineered specifically for the efficient unloading of flat bottom silos. This equipment stands out for its fully automatic operation, ensuring safe and reliable extraction of grains such as wheat, maize, and barley, with no need for human intervention. The Spirogyre completes its process with a 360° rotation, effectively clearing residual products that gravity alone doesn’t discharge. You have three options to suit your specific needs: the compact S type with an internal electric motor, the robust SCD type featuring an external transmission system, and the Hydraulic Spirogyre known for handling silos 18 to 38 meters in diameter with a capacity of up to 400 tons per hour. With certifications like ATEX II 2D 125°C, this system is not only powerful but also compliant with safety standards. Optional enhancements such as clearing screws and parked position detectors make it adaptable to your specific operational requirements. The Spirogyre is ideal for agricultural producers and grain storage operators seeking to streamline their unloading and final conditioning processes.
