Single phase everything?
Where does it all originate? Breaker panel?
I like twist locks but if you look inside, the actual contacts aren’t any beefier than straight blade stuff. Build quality of Hubbel stuff is probably still about the top of the line.
The biggest question is are you going to run a heavy capacity circuit to each bin or will you have some light duty ones for sweeps etc? As long as each motor has overload protector on it you’ll be good to go. Those that don’t might need some sort of protection device.
What about switches? One for each auger on a portable stand that you set near by and plug the supply into the outlet? Magnetic attach to side of bin?
