ABSTRACT:
A sweep auger apparatus is radially disposed within a circular bin for moving a free flowing granular material across the floor of the bin toward the center of the bin. A motor is connected to the radially inner end of the auger shaft to rotate the auger about its horizontal axis. A drive wheel assembly is connected to the radially outer end of the auger shaft for supporting the outer end of the auger shaft and for revolving the auger around the central vertical axis of the bin. The drive wheel assembly includes a speed reduction mechanism whereby the speed of rotation of the drive wheel is substantially less than the speed of rotation of the auger shaft.
