Springland Mfg.
Springland Manufacturing opened for business in 1985 with brothers Henry, John and Herman Lepp. It was founded on the family farm North of Rivers, Manitoba, with the hope that they could build a mechanical grain bin cleaner that had greater efficiency, was safer, and more simple to use than what was on the market at the time.
The first systems were round unloaders to accommodate bins up to 48 feet in diameter. The Springland U-Trough design was developed in 1998, in response to the need for faster emptying of larger grain bins with less product damage. The advantages and durability of the U-Trough System proved itself, and now marketed world-wide, has all but replaced the round tube style.

U-trough Unload
Springland U-Trough Unload systems set the standard in high capacity, high quality unloading equipment. Ease of installation, top quality materials, and proven design are just a few reasons our satisfied customers have chosen Springland U-Trough systems over the competition for the past 30 years
U-Trough Unload Diagram
Standard Features:
11″ (28cm) U-Trough with 9″ (23cm) flight provides conservatively 5000-7500 BPH* (136-200Mt per hour) unloading capacity.
• Gearbox sweep drive features a fully enclosed shifting mechanism. Food grade oil is used to ensure no product contamination occurs.
• A double length centre gate provides 23″ (58cm) of exposed flight for maximum unloading capacity.
• Adjustable angle on the back plate.
• Single Motor Drives the unloader and sweep from outside the bin.
• Rack and pinion gate controls.
• Gearbox shifter engages the sweep from outside the bin.
• Sweep Stop – Limits the sweep to one revolution around the bin and is controlled outside the bin.
Advantages
• High Capacity
• Unloading at 5000 to 7500 Bushels (136-200Mt) per hour*.
• The Springland U-Trough design moves more material than traditional round tubes at the same horsepower with less chance of grain damage.
Durable Construction
With 14 Guage G90 Galvanized materials, powder coated finishes and sealed gearboxes, Springland U-Troughs require minimal maintenance and will provide years of reliable operation.
Industry Leading
Springland Elevator Wheel** provides positive sweep advancement.
The adjustable sweep backplate allows the elevator wheel to be adjusted closer to the bin wall to improve clean up.
Ease of Installation
Springland unloads fit under most standard aeration floors and require minimal assembly.
The gearbox drops into and self-aligns in the U-Trough.
The main unloader components are pre assembled to ensure ease of installation
* Capacities may vary depending on grain type and condition.

Commercial Series
Features:
Positive Drive System
A significant amount of force is required to propel a sweep around the bin. The Springland Commercial Sweeps use a hydraulically driven Positive Drive System (PDS) to advance the sweep. A hydraulic pump with controls located outside the bin, supply oil flow to the PDS motor. Pressure and flow are adjustable for various grain conditions.
Sweep Drive
The sweep drive motor is located below the bin floor surface. The motor and electrical junctions are not exposed to grain flow, reducing the risks and hazards of dust explosions.
The drive system is accessible from within a service tunnel located below the bin or from inside the bin by removing a steel cover plate
Hydraulic Advancement Control Cabinet
Bin Sweep control is located on the bin exterior. Includes a hydraulic power pack for the Positive Drive System.
Advantages:
• Zero Entry Sweep Control
• Efficient Sweep Drive
• Durable Frame Construction
• Positive Drive System
• Safe Operation
