Baggar Equipped With Roller Mill Cracks Grain As It Fills Bags

Baggar Equipped With Roller Mill Cracks Grain As It Fills Bags CROP STORAGE Bag Silos 22-6-26 Combining a roller mill with a big bagger lets you crack high moisture corn and bag it in a single operation. That's what Sioux Automation has done by marrying its "Roto Press" bagger with its "Roto Mill". "We became aware of a huge demand for a way to process grain and bag it at the same time so we put the two machines together," says the company's Ron Hulshof. Mounted on top of the bagger, the mill belt-drives off a pto shaft from the bagger. The mill is equipped with two 4-ft. long by 1-ft.dia. rollers that have the capacity to process up to 3,000 bushels per hour of high moisture corn or 3,600 bushels of dry grain. Rolled grain then drops directly into the U-trough auger of the bagger and is discharged into plastic bags. Bagger is available in four sizes, for use with 8, 9, 10 or 12-ft. bags. Combos start at $33,000. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Sioux Automation, 877 1st Ave. NW, Sioux Center, Iowa 51250 (ph 712 722-1488).
