includes inclined powerhead with motor mount, belt guard, angle ring mount, stub auger, driven auger pulleys and belts.  (motor and pulley that goes on motor is not included)

5’, 25 degree incline on  8” systems; 7’, 20 degree incline on 10” systems.

The inclined powerhead drive is a specialized mechanism used for the unloading of grain bins. It is specifically designed to be mounted onto the unload tubes of bins that have an angle ring flange. Powerheads are a critical component for your grain bin unload system.

The Sukup Inclined Powerhead: Precision-Engineered for Efficient Grain Unloading

In grain handling systems, efficiency and reliability are critical during every stage of the operation—especially during unloading. As farms and grain facilities continue to scale and modernize, equipment that can handle higher capacities with minimal downtime is essential. One such piece of equipment that meets these demands is the Sukup inclined powerhead. Engineered with the same precision and durability that define all Sukup products, this powerhead offers an ideal solution for transferring grain from bins to elevated discharge points without the complexity of a vertical system.

Purpose-Built for Elevated Grain Transfer

The Sukup inclined powerhead is designed to discharge grain at an upward angle, making it perfect for unloading into grain carts, conveyors, or truck beds that sit higher than the base of the bin. While a horizontal powerhead discharges grain at floor level, and a vertical one lifts it straight up, the inclined version provides a middle-ground solution. It raises grain efficiently while maintaining a more compact and accessible design compared to full vertical systems.

This is especially beneficial in grain sites where space is limited or where the discharge point needs to match up with transport systems already in place. The inclination also helps reduce grain backflow and enables smoother, more controlled unloading.

Engineered for Strength and Durability

Sukup is known for overbuilding in the best possible way—and the inclined powerhead is no exception. It features a heavy-duty motor and gear drive system, capable of handling continuous-duty cycles and high static loads. This ensures that even during peak harvest season, the powerhead can keep up with the demands of high-capacity bins.

The gearboxes used in Sukup inclined powerheads are built to minimize wear and vibration, which extends the life of the auger and reduces maintenance frequency. Components are precision-machined and assembled for consistent performance, even in dusty or high-moisture environments.

Additionally, sealed bearings, corrosion-resistant materials, and robust frame construction help the system withstand the challenges of farm and commercial settings. Operators appreciate that Sukup designs its powerheads not only to perform but to last.

Integration and Safety

Another advantage of the Sukup inclined powerhead is its seamless integration with Sukup's Sweepway™ and U-trough unload systems. These components are designed to work together as a complete solution, ensuring maximum efficiency and ease of setup. Whether you’re installing a new bin or upgrading an existing unload system, the inclined powerhead fits easily into the configuration.

Sukup also places a strong emphasis on operator safety. Their powerheads include belt guards, clutch protection, and easily accessible shutoffs, making routine maintenance safer and more efficient.

Conclusion

The Sukup inclined powerhead stands out for its combination of strength, precision, and practicality. It provides a reliable, high-capacity solution for unloading grain bins into elevated receivers while maintaining the user-friendly features and rugged build quality that Sukup is known for. For farmers and grain managers looking to boost their unloading efficiency without overcomplicating their system, the Sukup inclined powerhead offers a dependable and effective choice.
