Abstract
A bin sweep system for a bin which may comprise at least two sweeps independently rotatable about a center of the bin, an alignment detecting apparatus for monitoring a relative position of a first one of the sweeps with respect to a second one of the sweeps, and an operational control device configured to selectively discontinue and resume operation of at least one of the sweeps to move the sweeps toward a maximum separation condition.
