44 PNEG-2381 2000 Series U-Trough Bin Sweep Auger Unload System (72' - 78')
5. Power Requirements
Power requirements are dependent on grain type, condition and moisture level. Power requirements are
suggestions and may vary in specific circumstances. Steps can be taken to reduce the power needed to
operate the unloader or sweep if power available to the site is limited. Operating the unloader at a slower
speed and reducing the flow of grain into the unloader will reduce power requirements.
Electric Drive
All values in horsepower, (1 HP = 0.746 Kw).
Pulley for the electric drive motor is not provided.
For power requirements from 10-25 HP use a 3 groove pulley.
NOTE: A 25 HP motor will require specialty motor plate/belt kit.
