Discharge with Gate Assembly
The discharge unit includes an 8' long section (12' long in 12" system). Locate the outlet of the discharge
in the desired location. It may be necessary to cut exact lengths of other tube conveyor sections to locate
the discharge unit in its proper place. The discharge with gate is designed for chain travel in only one
direction. Make sure it is oriented properly by comparing the appearance to the diagram or referring to the
decal on the discharge unit. Operation in the wrong direction can cause paddle damage.
Figure 6J
When cutting tubes to exact length, the ends must be cut square and any burrs on the ends must be
removed by chamfering the inside diameter. Join tube and discharge gate together with connecting bands.
Slide the tube sections tightly together and space the connecting band in equal amounts on both parts of
the connection.
Bin well installation for Chain Loop Systems installed under a row of grain bins.
Position the center bin well so that the bin sweep pivot is at the center of the bin and on top of the Chain
Loop tube. Intermediate wells may be placed on the tube between the center and bin wall if desired.
Use
for minimum spacing requirements and as a guide to mark and cut the openings
for the wells in the tube.
NOTE: Do not cut the opening with the chain and paddles inside the tube or they may be damaged.
The control pipe for the center well (1/2" pipe) should fit inside the pipe used for the intermediate wells (1"
pipe). With the center and intermediate wells closed, drill a hole through both control pipes so that a bolt
can be used to lock both pipes together. This will allow both slide gates to be operated together.
Open the slide gate in the center well and withdraw grain until no more flows. Close the center well
slide-gate and place the bolt in the hole drilled through both control rods. The intermediate well
slide-gates can now be operated with the center well.
