“The conveyors are phenomenal for gentle handling coming out of the bin. For delicate seed beans or specialty crops. The conveyors are excellent because of the low impact damage that occurs to the seed as it comes out of the bin.” Hear more about AGI’s new high capacity, bin unload conveyor, the AGI Batco FX4 1839.
