Grain System Layouts - Some Typical Designs

The Hutchinson grain pump can take the place of a number of components of traditional grain handling systems. The grain loop can serve as a replacement for any number of grain conveying mechanisms, such as drag chain and en masse conveyors, grain augers, grain legs, and bucket elevators. The layout of the system depends upon the function required of the Hutchinson Grain Pump. Part of Skyways needs assessment process deals with the most appropriate layout for the clients' particular design and requirements. Listed below are a few, but by no means all, examples of how the design may look.

Horizontal Bin Fill	Side Spouts	Vertical Around Hoppers
To fill, 2 rows of bins, a horizontal bin fill formation may suit the farm situation better. The high capacity, low maintenance and ease of operation combine to provide the most efficient top-loading grain handling system in the industry. The same may be said for a horizontal bin unloading system, if the circumstance is right.	Side spout allow the grain loop to incorporate bins that are not in line into the grain system. Other functions such as grain drying, cleaning, rolling and bagging can be incorporated into the system.	Hopper bottom bins can also be incorporated into the system. Where the operation deals with a variety of commodities and uses hopper bottom bins extensively, the design can be configured to allow handling multiple crops without fear of contamination.
