The Sump Saver Mighty Mini is a machinery solution that breaks down clumped or frozen grain for a safer grain flow. This hydraulic sump clears up blockages quickly, thus preserving your economic resources and ensuring your safety — the Mighty Mini from Sump Saver works inside the bin, so you don’t have to.
Features of the Sump Saver Mighty Mini
The Sump Saver Mighty Mini includes several features and benefits:
- A hydraulic motor that can produce 6,000 inch-pounds of torque
- Can be operated in forward and reverse from the safety of your tractor
- Prevents plugged grain bin slumps
- Allows consumers several chances to overcome and work through a blockage, thus increasing efficiency
- 1/2-inch rod clearing fingers reinforced with stiffening-ribs that are engineered to slice through obstacles such as bird nest clumps without bending
- Slices and crushes obstacles approaching the grain bin sump, safely restoring grain flow without the farmer ever having to step into the grain bin
When to Use a Grain Bin Sump Saver
As a farmer or commercial operator, you know stopping harvest to unplug an auger can cost you significant time and money. Being able to solve a plug issue from outside the bin can also prevent catastrophe. Enter the Mighty Mini from Sump Saver.
While the operator is safe outside of the bin, the Sump Saver unit is at work inside the grain bin. Grain flow blockages are sundered in seconds, and installation is quick and efficient. The hydraulic Sump Saver is made to handle obstructions as they approach the grain bin sump.
We recommend using the Sump Saver when grain flow slows. Continue to operate the unit until you see grain flowing freely — and when you no longer observe damaged grain.
Sump Saver Installation
Use the following steps for the safest and most efficient Sump Saver Mighty Mini unit installation:
- Locate the bracket a minimum of 4 feet from the grain bin floor.
- Mark the holes to be drilled inside the bin using the hose storage bracket as a template.
- Drill the holes on the top of the corrugation ridge using a 5/16-inch drill bit.
- Mark where you will drill the holes for the bulkheads inside the bin directly below the storage bracket. The holes should be approximately 5.5 inches apart.
- Drill the two holes using a 3/4-inch step drill bit.
- Insert the bulkheads through the bin wall from the outside.
- Place the retaining nuts on the bulkheads from the inside. Tighten.
- Position the hose storage bracket on the bolts inside the bin.
- Install the nuts and tighten.
- Connect the floor hose to the bulkheads. Tighten.
- Position Mighty Mini Sump Saver in the most effective location.
- Hold the unit in place with zip ties until it is covered with grain. Zip ties are provided.
- Connect the Sump Saver hose to the floor hose.
- If the sweep auger is not present, close the intermediate sumps. If the sweep auger is present, place the hoses behind it.
- Check all connections and prime the Sump Saver unit.
