THE NORM TRUCK SAFETY FILL SPOUT
NEW EQUIPMENT TECHNOLOGY
Name of Inventor: John Gehrer
Name of Manufacturer: Never Spill
T: 204-371-7839 | | E:
The “NORM” truck safety fill spout attaches to the truck-
loading auger. Once the grain on the truck reaches the
spout, an audio alarm is activated. This lets the truck
driver know to move the truck forward. By repeatedly
moving the truck, when alarm sounds the whole truck can
be filled without getting out of the cab or climbing up on
the trailer.
THUNDERDRYER & AIR MISSILE
NEW EQUIPMENT INNOVATION
Name of Inventor: Greg O’Hare
Name of Manufacturer: Go Technologies Ltd.

E:
The ThunderDryer gives you the opportunity to condition
and dry your grain in your bin allowing you to take your
grain off the field in better conditions and operate your
harvest in less than favourable conditions. The Dryer
works on positive pressure and will not shut down with
static pressure. Flu gasses are vented off before they
enter the bin, meaning water vapour is not a concern. You
are able to dry your grain in the bin with no monitoring
required. The ThunderDryer features an efficient heat
exchange system that isolates combustion gases and
exhaust and eliminates heat source contact with valuable
inventory.
Air Missile:
The Air Missile was designed to solve the problem of
moisture caps forming at the top of bins using in-bin
aeration to dry grain. It consists of an 8” vertical tube that
directs air to the upper portion of the bin where the
moisture cap usually forms. This redirected air flow
continues to push the moisture up and out, drying the
grain faster and more evenly throughout the bin.
Get even drying from top to bottom and eliminate the
need to turn your grain with complete drying in one bin.
The Air Missile is a cost-effective method of reducing
carbon dioxide emissions, maintaining grain quality, and
increasing the storage life of your grain.
The purpose of the ThunderDryer and Air Missile is to
recreate the perfect day on the field and save the farmer
time and money. The set work together to dry grain faster
and without the need to turn your grain or monitor the
operation, thus allowing the farmer more time for other
jobs on the farm.
