  • Page 50: Section 11 Beam Installation

    Installation and Operation UniDriv Section 11 Beam Installation 1. Attach the jack cables to each end of the horizontal beam. 2. Attach a separate rope to the ends of the center hanger chains. 3. After cables are in place, take up the slack in the cables and lift unit slightly, enough to take saw horses out from under it.

  • Page 51: Section 13 Balancing The Unit

    5. Repeat this process until the augers are running vertically, then tighten the 3/4” x 3” bolt to secure the unit. Section 14 Stirall UniDriv Precautionary Check List 1. Be sure to consider the check points listed below and follow all starting and running instructions.

  • Page 52: Section 15 Operating Instructions

    NEVER HANDLE BELTS UNLESS POWER IS OFF. !!Caution!! DO NOT OPERATE UniDriv in an empty bin. To test if powered, make sure no one is inside bin, then turn power “ON” and “OFF” IMMEDIATELY from OUT- SIDE of the bin.

  • Page 53: Section 16 Starting Under Load

    UniDriv Management and Maintenance Section 16 Starting Under Load 1. Be sure all idlers are disengaged and belts are in place on pulleys. 2. Start motor, watching the unit to be sure everything is functioning properly. 3. When the motor and the first auger on each side of it reach full speed (after 5-10 sec- onds), engage the rest of the idlers one at a time, moving from those nearest the motor outward to the augers on the ends of the beam.

  • Page 54: Section 17 Unidriv Management And Maintenance

    The second check is to reach down into the grain piles near the UniDriv augers as it is moving around the bin. This grain, which is being brought up from lower levels in the bin, should feel just as cool as the outside air.
  • Page 55 Moisture will not occur in the top ring or the bottom ring of the grain mass. The UniDriv, having multiple augers which stir the entire radius of the bin at one time, maintains an auger at the bin wall at all times, providing an even flow of air across the bin, which insures against the occurrence of bin wall moisture in a properly managed drying cycle.

  • Page 56: Section 18 Performance Characteristics Of The Unidriv

    UniDriv Section 18 Performance Characteristics Of The UniDriv The UniDriv consists of multiple vertical augers evenly spaced across the radius of the bin at fixed distances. It travels clockwise around the bin with the augers producing a concentric pattern in the grain. This unalterable concentric pattern is advantageous because it produces even air flow across the radius of the bin while maintaining one auger in close proximity to the bin wall at all times.
