Leading Edge Industries in 2020 introduced the Bin SumpPRO™, which is designed with two patent-pending countermeasures to clear bin sump plugging issues, keeping grain facility employees out of bins to clear clogs manually.

According to CEO/Founder Shawn Gengerke, “The U.S.-manufactured Bin SumpPRO is compatible with most grain bins with a floor sweep system. It is a retro-fit kit that takes just a couple of hours to install and can be used under a full bin load.

“The Bin SumpPRO uses a bin’s existing powerhead, gearbox, and a modified auger,” says Gengerke. Five patent-pending components are included in the kit:

• Beaters.

• Gate cutting blades.

• Quick coupler.

• HD oversized knuckle

• Coupler storage box.

Two Countermeasures

“There are two patent-pending countermeasures, beaters, and gate cutting blades that break up 99% of the clumps from immature commodities, ice chunks, crust, or foreign material that otherwise would plug the sump,” Gengerke says. “Once the grain level is at the floor, the whole sweep is ready to be used. A quick coupler reconnects the beaters to the auger for normal sweep use.

“In addition to the invaluable safety benefits,” he adds, “the Bin SumpPRO offers a high return on investment. Consider the amount of time and labor required to unplug a grain bin sump or the thousands of dollars spent when a hole needs to be cut and repaired in a bin to remove grain. The Bin SumpPRO can eliminate these costs and easily pay for itself in one incident.”
