Product Review ... Zero-Entry Paddle Sweep, Sukup Manufacturing Co.

Sukup Manufacturing Company • 641-892-4222http://www.sukup.com

Sukup Manufacturing has introduced a zero-entry commercial paddle sweep in capacities up to 10,000 bph.

According to Material Handling Sales Director Randy Marcks, the sweep improves safety by allowing users to sweep without entering the bin.

“The patented pivoting system features fewer moving parts and allows the center to stay stationary, while the backboard and paddles free float to account for variations in the concrete,” he says.

“Our zero-entry commercial paddle sweep uses explosion-proof motors and electrical components for enhanced safety and an industrial grade gearbox and bearings for greater durability,” says Marcks.

“The control panel with automatic touchscreen controls is easy to use and allows the user to program the pushers’ start and stop points,” he explains. “In automatic mode, the sweeper senses chain load and advances the sweep without overloading the chain motor.”

Features

• Heavy-duty construction provides durability and reduces maintenance.

• Multiple speeds for different capacities.

• Accommodates bin diameters from 48 to 156 feet.

• Emergency stop button for enhanced safety.

• Shallow center sump cast in place requires less concrete, thereby saving construction costs.

• Heavy-duty takeup bearing supplies long-lasting durability and strength.
