CONVEYOR
PATENTED SELF-FILLING DESIGN
The Unverferth Seed Runner seed tender features a patented self-filling design so the conveyor can pivot 180° and be positioned to fill itself easily from the ground level. Every conveyor is equipped with a convenient conveyor arm locking mechanism and spring lift assist for easy handling when pivoting the conveyor.
SEED PROTECTION
Handling your high-value seed with the greatest care is crucial for any seed tender. At Unverferth, we’ve spent years researching and testing different designs, resulting in the 55-Series conveyor which excels in protecting your high-value seed investment.
CONVEYOR TECHNOLOGY
The patented 5-ply rubber conveyor belt features offset rows of cupped cleats to minimize seed damage while providing a greater carrying capacity. The offset in each cleat allows the belt to cup inside the conveyor tube and pass by each other to reduce seed pinching.
UNLOADING SPEEDS
For operations that need the fastest unloading speeds, DXL Models feature a 10” (or 8" is also available) conveyor tube, providing unloading speeds up to 45 bushels per minute.
CONVEYOR LENGTH
Conveyor length is measured from center of the top bearing to center of the bottom bearing for a true measurement of side reach and unloading height.
EASY FILLING
DXL models utilize a 24’ long single-stage conveyor whereas the model 4955DXL features a max unloading height of 16’6” and 90” of hydraulically-operated vertical height adjustment. Model 3955DXL features 15’ of maximum unloading height and 83” of hydraulically operated vertical height adjustment.
CONVEYOR CONTROLS

Every conveyor is equipped with the Smooth-Start engagement feature which gently brings the conveyor belt up to maximum speed, which increases the belt life.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Stainless steel rollers and roller plates allow the conveyor to swing from front to rear and locking increments ensures the operator can lock the conveyor every 10” for unloading versatility.
