Sukup Commercial Drag Conveyors are designed for efficient grain and material handling with features that enhance durability and simplify maintenance. These conveyors come in various sizes ranging from 3432bu/hr to 68967bu/hr and are equipped with heavy-duty chain systems, including the 81XHH, WH124, and WH132 chains as standard depending on the size, with optional upgrades for increased durability and capacity. Constructed with hot-dipped galvanized steel, the head, tail, and trough sections ensure long-term resistance to wear and corrosion. Sukup Drag Conveyors are also customizable to fit your operation and material handling needs.

The head and tail specifications include split-design sprockets and easily removable shaft, bearing, and sprocket assemblies for streamlined maintenance. Trough sections feature a three-piece design with a removable bottom and patented Hip Style Bolted Conveyor Covers, which provide a weather-tight seal while leaving no area for water to leak into the conveyor.

Sukup Manufacturing has truly developed a zero-entry bin sweep. With our material handlers, particularly our supervisor - he coordinates the entire bin sweeping operation - with him not having to get in and out of that bin. I'm not worried about getting the corn out of the bin it's more keeping the employees safe. Any time we can sweep a bin and not have to get into it that's a lot better.
