Grain Systems Bucket Elevtors, Conveyors, Series II Sweeps PNEG-1418 - Manual (Page 10)

10 Sales Information Package PNEG 1418
The GSI BESAW was designed to mate with GSI bucket elevators from 16" to 42" in size and capacities from 1500 to
8000 BPH. Due to the large quantity of boot hoppers available for these bucket elevators, it would be impossible for GSI
to offer a transition assembly that would fit all the possible combinations of BESAWs and bucket elevators. Since the
BESAW requires special mounting components to swivel, after April 1, 2006 each BESAW shipped from our facilities will
include a BESAW Swivel Plate Assembly. The swivel assembly is made up of a square plate with the attachment bolts
welded to it. It already has the appropriate sized hole bored in it to allow the flow of material. The swivel hardware is also
included.
When fabricating the mounting transition, the top of this plate should be from 6" to 8" above the mounting flange of the
bucket elevator boot hopper. The center of the large hole should be a sufficient distance away from the bucket elevator
trunk to allow the BESAW chain guard to clear and the BESAW to swivel. An example of a transition is shown below.
