Sweep Conveyors

Founded in 1914, the business first produced threshing machines in Arentorp, Sweden. In the 1960s development of the first chain and flight conveyors began and in 1975 the company specialised in grain handling. Now a third-generation family business, Skandia Elevator has evolved into Europe’s leading and most technologically advanced manufacturers of grain handling equipment. 

Skandia Elevator’s sweep conveyor range consists of two models, the first offering a capacity of 39 tonnes per hour and the second offering 55 tonnes per hour. The sweep conveyors are designed to compliment the Skandia Elevator range of bottom conveyors, ensuring a perfect balance and reduced risk of blockages. Unlike traditional sweep augers, the sweep conveyor does not need to be fully cleared prior to starting, as soon as the centre outlet has emptied it can get to work. 

The sweep conveyor leaves only the smallest amount of grain in the bottom of the silo and a significant improvement on an auger based system. The typical Skandia Elevator design features are all present, unique high tensile strength chain, direct drive nord motor gearboxes and sealed bearing units. Skandia Elevator offer a complete range of grain handling equipment including chain and flight conveyors, belt and bucket elevators, sweep conveyors and belt conveyors. All machine capacities are designed to ensure seamless integration. A comprehensive range of ducting allows machines to be simply and effectively linked supporting quick and straightforward installations.
