ABSTRACT:
The grain spreader is a device for evenly spreading particulate material in a storage facility, particularly for spreading grain in a silo or storage bin. The grain spreader includes an array of grain receiving chutes suspended for rotation on a shaft and positioned below a hopper outlet. The shaft is mounted to rotate around its longitudinal axis and thereby enable the chutes to rotate when impelled by the force of grain exiting the hopper outlet. The grain receiving chutes are uniquely designed in a manner to cause the grain to be evenly spread in the silo or storage bin.
