Belt Tripper Bin Filling Systems

Efficient, Reliable Grain Handling Systems

Filling bins and dryers has never been faster or easier.

The O’Mara Belt Tripper Bin Filling System makes quick work of inline bulk filling, automating the distribution of seed, grain, feed, silage, ear corn, husks, and other materials.

Our belt trippers are engineered for performance, built for longevity, and customizable to fit your operation. Whether you’re filling multiple bins, loading dryers, or discharging at several points along a conveyor, O’Mara delivers a solution that’s precise, efficient, and ready to work the moment it arrives.

What Is a Belt Tripper Bin Filling System?

A belt tripper is a movable discharge system that allows material to be unloaded from a conveyor belt at multiple locations along its length, rather than only at the end.

By redirecting the belt over a series of pulleys and discharge chutes, the tripper precisely deposits bulk material into bins, silos, dryers, or bunkers, making it ideal for grain handling, feed processing, and material storage systems.

How It Works

Material Transport – Bulk product moves along the main conveyor belt.
Tripper Activation – The tripper cart travels along the conveyor, positioning itself above the desired bin.
Material Discharge – As the belt is redirected, material drops by gravity or through a cross conveyor into the bin or chute.
Repositioning – The tripper can move automatically or manually to the next bin for continuous, even filling.

This process ensures consistent load distribution, reduces manual handling, and increases operational safety and productivity.
