Subject: RE: what do you put over sump in grain bin to prevent plugging



Central SD
I cut the supports out of the center of the hole that were running horizontally. I then weld only the center support and the sweep holder back in vertically. I then weld 2- 1/2" nuts to the top side of the trap door. I then screw 2-6" x 1/2" bolts into the trap door nuts. When I have a plug, I work the trap handle back and forth which either busts up the clump or pushes it away. When I get to the floor to put the sweep in, I take the bolts out. I only have this in our 36' bins. Haven't had many problems in our 48's, traps are pretty good sized. But we don't put overly wet grain in our big bins either.
