GRAIN BIN DISCHARGE GUARD AND POWER SWEEP

摘要

An apparatus adapted to be rotatably mounted proximate a discharge openin g of a grain bin can include a guard. The guard can have a plurality of knif e units having a plurality of spaced apart blades having grain engaging cutt ing edges for cutting and breaking up compacted grain. A sweep portion can i nclude an auger rotatably driven about an auger axis by a motor. The sweep p ortion can be arranged substantially parallel and proximate to a floor of th e grain bin. Rotation of the auger can urge grain to move toward the dischar ge opening. A mounting assembly can be adapted to operably couple the guard and the sweep portion such that the guard and the sweep portion rotate concu rrently about the floor of the grain bin.
