Augers and Conveyors
Foster Equipment Sales offers a wide range of auger and conveyor systems from proven industry leaders.
Bucket Elevator Leg Conveyors
We understand your need for quality tested equipment that handles bulk materials smoothly and efficiently, which is why we are delighted to offer top-of-the-line grain leg bucket elevators from respected manufacturers Sweet Manufacturing, Creamer Metal Products, and Lambton Conveyor. Our manufacturers construct grain leg buckets that deliver the gentlest handling, least spillage, lowest maintenance, minimum amount of wear and tear, and quietest operation compared to similar mechanical elevating devices on the market.
Pneumatic Grain Conveying Systems
We offer a wide selection of high-quality pneumatic grain conveying systems manufactured by industry leaders such as Brock, DMC David Manufacturing, and Kongskilde Grain. All three manufacturers have a long-standing reputation of offering dependable, top of the line equipment for farmers and large agricultural operations.
Many agricultural operations are now opting for pneumatic grain conveying systems rather than mechanical, due to their environmental benefits, safety, and flexibility. Used for new and existing grain drying and storage facilities, these modernized, technologically advanced systems of moving grain are as cost-efficient as they are convenient and easy to install and maintain. Pneumatic systems function by moving grain through conveying tubes on a cushion of air, minimizing grain damage and maximizing efficiency.
Portable Grain Conveying Augers
When it comes to moving a lot of grain in a hurry, farmers and other agricultural professionals want augers that provide simple, straightforward design, ease of operation, and dependable, labor-saving performance. Foster Equipment Sales settles for nothing less than grain augers from manufacturers with years of proven field experience: Hutchinson, Westfield, and Brandt Industries. When quality counts, all three manufacturers deliver an impressive collection of augers featuring a wide range of operation and construction features unmatched in the industry.
Portable Belt Conveyors
Superbly designed equipment is a must for farm operators concerned with efficiency, safety, and profitability. This is why Foster Equipment Sales strives to offer agricultural products that exceed their customers' expectations and is proud to offer Portable Belt Conveyors manufactured by Brandt Agricultural Products, Ltd. and Batco Manufacturing. A wide range of Brandt and Batco conveyors are available to meet the grain handling needs of agricultural professionals looking for convenience, gentle handling, high capacity, low horsepower, low maintenance, and long wear characteristics.
U-Trough Screw Conveyors
Reliable, high-quality material handling systems quickly convey free-flowing bulk materials of varying weights from storage to work areas with a minimum of noise and dust. The best systems are low-maintenance, easy to install, and completely enclosed to guard against material spillage and contamination. The experts at Foster Equipment Sales are delighted to offer U-trough screw conveyors from Martin Sprocket and Gear for applications where efficiency and cleanability is a must. From standard material conveyors to fully automated, complex material distribution systems, our customers' requirements vary greatly, which is why we look forward to assisting you with designing a custom system that meets your specific conveying needs.
Martin Sprocket and Gear, Inc. also provides a free detailed publication with five sections describing each of the steps followed when manufacturing a custom conveyor: Engineering, Design and Layout, Components, Special Features, and Installation and Maintenance. Each section contains tables and diagrams to illustrate the various aspects of the screw conveyor.
Flat or Round Bottom Drag Conveyors
For grain handlers focused on higher grain handling standards, Foster Equipment Sales proudly offers fast, efficient flat and round bottom drag conveyors by Lambton and Sweet® Manufacturing. Flat and round bottom drag conveyors provide a quick and reliable method of moving grain, requiring 50% less horsepower than screw conveyors. Because drag conveyors function by moving grain in a mass, the result is little to no grain breakage due to minimal metal-to-grain contact. Other advantages include the elimination of dust and moisture problems (the conveyor is enclosed and sealed), a lower profile, and heavy gauge materials construction.
