VersaLoop™ — Information
The VersaLoop™ is a chain and paddle conveyor moving through two tube sections. It is used for loading
and unloading a wide range of free flowing materials with a single drive. It can be used at angles, from hori-
zontal position to an inclination of 60 degrees. The VersaLoop™is primarily intended for grain and grain
products. They will move material into and out of grain storage structures, vehicles, dryers and other facili-
ties with ease and gentleness.
The main components of a VersaLoop™ are motor, gear box, upper and lower tube sections, and chain
and paddles. The horsepower of the motor is determined by the angle of operation required. The Versa-
Loop™ is usually categorized as 8 in. and 10 in. systems based on the tube section diameter.
Operating Capacity
All capacities, length, angle, and horse power is based on dry, free flowing grain.
Refer to the following table for the maximum operating capacity.
NOTE: Maximum capacity will likely reduce as operating angle increases.
VersaLoop™ Maximum Capacity (bushels/hr)
8 in. 4000
10 in. 6000
A VersaLoop™ operating above 50 degrees will have a reduced capacity.
Over-feeding the VersaLoop™ will result in an increased power requirement, additional load on the drive
line, and a possible plugging condition.
Maximum Span Length
Refer to the following table for the maximum span length based on the pipe diameter and pipe material.
Max Span (ft)

8 in. 48 51 53
10 in. 56 59 60
