Sukup Recognized for Innovation

Sukup Manufacturing Co.’s new Sweep Wheel Grain Reclaimer has been honored by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers as one of 50 outstanding innovations of 2017.

The patent-pending device reduces by more than 80 percent the amount of grain left behind a bin sweep wheel.

“We are truly honored to receive this prestigious award,” says Charles Sukup, president of Sukup Manufacturing Co. He says the recognition “helps underscore the emphasis our company puts on innovation.”

Two Sukup products won awards last year, and a record four products won awards the previous year.

The annual competition is sponsored by Resource magazine, published by ASABE. The Grain Reclaimer will be featured in a special January-February issue of Resource.

Companies from around the world nominate products for an AE50 Award. An international panel of engineering experts selects products that best reflect engineering advancements for the agricultural and food industries.
