Pneumatic Conveyors

Kongskilde’s grain suction blowers, including the SUC and SupraVac series, offer powerful and flexible solutions for conveying grain in both indoor and outdoor settings. 

These systems are designed to efficiently handle grain by moving it through pneumatic conveying, which is ideal for farms and commercial operations needing to move grain from silos, on-floor storage, or directly into trucks or grain wagons. 

With both electric and tractor-powered options available, these blowers meet a wide range of operational capacities and flexible requirements.

How Grain Suction Blowers Work

Grain suction blowers work by creating a powerful airflow that sucks grain into the system through a suction cyclone, where the grain is separated from the air. The grain then passes through a rotary valve and is deposited into a pipeline on the pressure side of the blower. This system allows for the efficient and gentle movement of grain horizontally, vertically, and around corners, minimizing damage and loss during transport.

Suction Blowing System Example

Benefits of Kongskilde Grain Suction Blowers

• High Transport Capacity: Models like the SupraVac 2000 can handle up to 5,000 bushels per hour (120 tons/hour), making them suitable for high-volume needs.
• Versatility: Available in both electric and PTO-driven models to suit different environmental and operational demands.
• Mobility: Tractor-driven models are easily transportable, allowing for flexible use across various parts of a farm or storage facility.
• Efficient Design: Designed to minimize energy usage while maximizing output, ensuring cost-effective operation.
• Flexibility: Vacuum grain from any location without the need for special infeed facilities.

SUC-E, SUC-T, SUC-TR, and SupraVac 2000 Suction Blowers

The SUC E is the electrically driven Grain Vac/Suction Blower. SUC-T, SUC-TR, and SupraVac 2000 are all tractor-driven. SUC-T is lift mounted, and SUC-TR and SupraVac 2000 are trailer types. All three models offer the possibility of maximum mobility together with high capacity. Furthermore, SupraVac 2000 offers a hydraulically operated truck load-out boom that can fold and unfold for road transport.

SUC-TR

Tractor Powered

The SUC-TR models are pull-type PTO-driven grain vacs that can be used to load trucks or grain wagons directly from the on-floor storage, silos or grain bins. They can also be used to convey commodities to storage where high-capacity conveying is required.

• Capacity up to 64 t/h.
• The trailer models are powered by the tractor’s PTO shaft.
• Loading equipment is standard on SUC-TR models.
• Ideal for loading trucks and trailers.
• Belts can be tightened without using tools.

SupraVac 2000

Tractor Powered

The SupraVac 2000 has a capacity of up to 5,000 bu/h (120 t/h), making it the ideal grain vac for farmers and commercial users. It has a hydraulic-folding truck loading boom that allows for quick setup. It conveniently locks into place for transport and storage.

• Capacity up to 120 t/h.
• Our largest tractor-powered suction blower.
• The power takeoff-driven SupraVac 2000 requires 170 hp.
• Loads even the largest vehicles quickly.
• Hydraulic folding of loading equipment to transport position.
• Easy connection of pipe system.
• Optional transport box for the suction head and pipe components.

SUC-T

Tractor Powered

The SUC-T models are three-point hitch PTO-driven grain vacs. The blowers can be used to convey commodities to where high-capacity conveying is required and when no electrical power source is available.

• Capacity up to 44 t/h.
• Attached to the tractor’s three-point linkage.
• Automatic air control is standard on the SUC-T.
• Available without suction equipment for pressure conveying, providing up to 20% more capacity with direct rotary valve feeding.
• The compact design makes it easy to maneuver.

SUC-E

Electric Powered

SUC E is the electrically driven Suction Blower, ideal for indoor use where tractor-powered units are not an option. Smaller SUC E models are mounted on a trolley and can therefore easily be moved from place to place.

• Capacities up to 33 t/h on mobile models, and up to 64 t/h on stationary models.
• Larger stationary models are available for higher capacities.
• Mainly used for grain conveying inside buildings.
• On wheels and easy to move.
• Control cabinet for automatic starting/stopping the motor.
• Belt transmission protects the drive of both blower and rotary valve.

Benefits

• Tractor-powered models are independent of electric power supply.
• Can be used in fields for loading grain.
• Moves the grain horizontally, vertically, and around corners.
• No requirements for the configuration of buildings or grain pits.
• If higher capacity is needed, the suction blower can be replaced by a larger model using the same pipe system.
• Indoor storage of the machines means that it is less exposed to the weather.
