Unloading

Bin Boots

A consistent supply of fresh feed depends on a smooth transition out of the bin and into the Grow-Flex system. GrowerSELECT offers three upper boot options to fit multiple feed delivery needs.

• 16” collar boots are available in straight bottom and 30 degree angle bottom styles
• Clear, injection molded impact-resistant clear polycarbonate construction provides quick visual confirmation that feed is properly flowing into the system
• Mounting holes are not pre-drilled, allowing replacement boots to be mounted correctly to existing feed line configurations
GrowerSELECT® bin boots, weldments and anchor bearings ensure smooth transition of feed from the bin into the delivery system and are designed to provide years of reliable service.
• 14” collar black double unloader boot with straight bottom available

Weldments

GrowerSELECT unloading weldments are available in all common flexible auger system sizes to fit existing or new feed distribution installations.

• Options are available for single, twin, single tandem, twin tandem and quad pipe feed line designs.
• Complete kits are available, as well as individual replacement parts including access doors, plates, clamps, slide gates, transfer plates and baffles
• Cannonball and Jitterball agitators are available to help prevent feed bridging in the boot

Anchor Bearings

GrowerSELECT anchor bearings are a quality OEM replacement option, available in all common flexible auger sizes. Whether paired with other GrowerSELECT unloading components, or existing equipment, they will provide years of reliable service.

An extended anchor bearing is available for Model 75/300 auger to plug the auger core and prevent over-filling in the unloader, solving broken auger issues in tandem bin installations. The extended anchor bearing is a 14’ extension that can be cut-to-length, so that it will extend just past the front bin boot.

Extension Components

GrowerSELECT extension kits are available to extend your flexible auger feeding capabilities when feed line requirements extend past maximum rated distances or require sharp turns. Reliably feed multiple rooms or rows from a single incoming feed line. Extensions can be installed perpendicular to the supply auger line, or at the end to provide coverage in longer farrowing and gestation building layouts.

Controls & Sensors

GrowerSELECT offers a complete line of reliable and proven feed line controls, relays, switches and sensors to ensure fresh feed is always available for your animals.

GrowerSELECT® controls and sensor units provide reliable automated operation of your Grow-Flex™ and other flexible auger feed systems, ensuring fresh feed is always available to your animals.

• Feed line controls mount to the drop-out box that connects the drive unit and auger pipe, and is activated by a mechanical switch that starts the fill line as the feed level falls and stops it when the drop tube has been filled. Options available with/without relays.
• Delay relays available to prevent the fill system motor from short cycling during periods of heavy feeding. Adjustable delay from 1-100 seconds.
• Hopper level controls ensure poultry feed line hoppers and hog feeders are kept full so plenty of feed is always available.
• Flat, Classic and Proxy Plus proximity sensors are available to monitor feed levels in feed drops, tubes and hoppers without mechanical activation.
• GrowerSELECT control unit bodies, switches and sensors are affordable quality replacement parts for many existing OEM feed systems.
