Sukup Airways®

Call for Price
Overview

Sukup Airways® Air Tube systems are designed to significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of grain aeration during grain storage. Recognizing the importance of proper aeration in grain handling and storage, these systems are developed to maintain the quality and longevity of stored grain by working to remove the water from the wall.

Airways® Air Tubes are a system of perforated triangular-shaped steel tubes that pipe drying air along the bin wall. The tubes are designed to promote even airflow and remove condensation along the sidewall. Airways® work like the defroster on a car, piping warm air where it is needed to remove moisture. This is achieved by the unique construction of the tubes, which provide more ventilation than competing tubes with round sleeves in the opening.

Sukup Airways® systems provide top-tier grain handling solutions for agricultural producers. They play a vital role in promoting effective aeration helping to preserve grain quality and value.
