THE MAKERS OF THE FIRST ELECTRIC GATES, LAUNCH THE NEW ELECTRIC REABE HOPPER PACKER
History:
In 2018, Reabe Air came to market with the first electric dry gates (currently the only STC’d electric gates) which are a huge success! The Reabe Smart Gates have proven to be powerful and long-lasting, using an electric motor. Some users have used the same motor for over 5 years! The Reabe Hopper Packer uses similar technology. We incorporated the use of a quality brushless electric motor, that requires no servicing, into our auger. The benefits of the motor allow for a lightweight and durable solution that can quickly churn through heavy fertilizer loads and pot ash.
Features of Auger:
The electric Reabe auger is as fast and powerful as the hydraulic systems, plus has additional unique features:
- The electric auger is a quick disconnect system that can simply and easily be REMOVED BY ONE PERSON WITH NO TOOLS. This simple clamping system allows for a quick turnover if you want the auger removed for liquid work.
- The auger can also REMAIN IN THE HOPPER because the motor housing separates the motor from the hopper liquid. The housing ensures that ONLY mechanical connections are inside the hopper, so NO ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OR LINES ARE EVER IN CONTACT WITH CHEMICALS, for safety purposes.
- Our customers have also noticed that our auger flighting is different. The design is more difficult to manufacture, but it limits drag and gives faster and more powerful results.
- The auger can go FORWARD and REVERSE and when paired with our unique flighting material easily fills the front and back of the hopper.
FOR BEST RESULTS: Fill in one direction until front is packed, then reverse until back is packed. Very minimal product will be displaced from front, upon reverse, because of the unique auger design.
Features of Hopper Door:
The hopper door design is derived from a system that has been installed and operated in Australia for over 30 years in rice and fertilizer operations:
- The stainless-steel door DOES NOT SLAM and provides a LIQUID TIGHT SEAL to the hopper door using a roller latch. With 1000 lbs. of force to seal the door, most of our customers do not even use the side latches.
Reabe Air is very proud to know that the industry has spoken through the success of their novel electric products, and those innovative ideas will move our industry forward into the next generation.
Offering products that keep on working, so you can too!
