Grain Vac Attachment Empties Grain Stored In Bags
 ✖  |
Why buy a grain bag unloader when you can get a grain vac equipped with a FlexStor Vac Attach for the same price or less? Scott Luden, Koyker Manufacturing, points out that a grain vac can be used year-round for moving grain and seed and cleaning out bins.
“If you spend $30,000 to $40,000 for a grain bag unloader, that’s all you can use it for,” says Luden. “Our single fan grain vac sells for around $19,900, with the double fan unit around $23,000. Our FlexStor Vac Attach lists for around $12,900.”
While grain vacs can and have been used for unloading grain bags, they can be very dangerous. If the bag has not been fully opened, the vacuum can wrap loose plastic suffocatingly tight around the operator.
The FlexStor Vac Attach keeps the operator out of the bag area while grain is being removed. It also cuts and stores the plastic bag for disposal as grain is removed.
“The Vac Attach can be mounted on most major grain vac systems,” says Luden. “Our price will vary slightly depending on connections needed.”
The Vac Attach also can be mounted on a separate tractor alongside the grain vac. The 3-pt. hitch mount raises or lowers the Vac Attach for transport or positioning in the mouth of the bag. Hydraulics power the twin augers that pull the grain to the flexible suction tube mouth. Hydraulics also power the bag winders that pull the tractor and Vac Attach farther into the bag as it empties.
The Vac Attach requires a tractor with at least 100 hp, Category II 3-pt. hitch and a 540 rpm pto.
As the Vac Attach moves back into the grain bag, twin knives top and bottom split the bag into two pieces. The plastic is then wound onto steel tubular cores that can be easily removed by one person.
