ABSTRACT:
A bin unloading apparatus includes a housing attachable to a bin floor. The housing has an interior cavity, a rotatable lower portion with an intake opening, and a stationary upper portion with an output opening. A sweep auger is secured to the rotatable lower portion of the housing. The sweep auger has a first end extending through the intake opening and a second end. The rotatable portion of the housing rotates as the sweep auger moves radially about the housing. A discharge auger trough is secured to the stationary upper portion of the housing. A discharge auger is disposed in the discharge auger trough. The discharge auger has a first end extending through the output opening and a second end. As the sweep auger moves radially around the housing material is moved by the sweep auger through the intake opening into the interior cavity of the housing. A vertical lift auger is disposed in the interior cavity of the housing having a lower end and an upper end. The lower end is connected through a first gear box with the first end of the sweep auger. The upper end is connected through a second gear box with the first end of the discharge auger. A drive device disposed exterior of the bin is secured to the second end of the discharge auger to rotate the discharge auger, the vertical lift auger, and the sweep auger.
