1345B U-Trough Auger
Enhanced Capacity and Gentle Handling
At the heart of the 1345B is a 13-inch U-trough design that allows grain to move above the flighting. This configuration nearly doubles the capacity compared to standard round-tube augers, achieving throughput rates of up to 9,500 bushels per hour with the diesel-powered model . This design not only boosts efficiency but also reduces grain damage, preserving the quality of the harvest.
Engineered for Reliability
The 1345B is equipped with a robust drive system featuring a heavy-duty gearbox, double bearings on the chain drive, and a triple-banded cogged belt. These components work together to deliver higher load tolerance and smooth, reliable operation . Additionally, the true parallel-link belt tensioning system ensures optimal power transfer, minimizing downtime and maintenance.
Versatility Across Bin Setups
Understanding the diversity of farm infrastructures, Brandt offers the 1345B with two intake options: a high-capacity intake for maximum throughput and a low-profile intake designed to fit under older or lower-clearance bins . The retractable hopper provides 14 to 24 inches of clearance, facilitating easy positioning under various bin configurations and preventing product loss.
User-Friendly Design
Ease of operation is a key focus of the 1345B. The frame-mounted engine keeps controls and most service points at ground level, enhancing accessibility and safety . Furthermore, the auger’s design accommodates a wide range of bin setups, simplifying the grain handling process for operators.
Proven Performance in the Field
Farmers have responded positively to the 1345B’s performance. Nolan Chermcora of Lindgren Farms in Norquay, Saskatchewan, noted, “Its capacity stands out to us. We haven’t had another U-Trough that will move the amount of product that this one will”
