Augers – Efficient and Versatile Material Transport
Augers are an efficient and versatile way to move various materials such as feed, grain, granulates, and pellets. When selecting an auger, it is important to consider several factors to ensure optimal flow and durability in your production.
The capacity of an auger should be matched to the material being transported. The size, weight, and structure of the material affect both the auger’s dimensions and rotational speed. A correctly sized auger prevents blockages and ensures a smooth and reliable flow. For heavier or irregular materials, a more robust auger or an adjusted incline may be appropriate to reduce wear.
Transport distance is also crucial when choosing an auger. For longer distances, multiple augers in series or a specially designed high-capacity auger may be required. The incline of the auger also affects capacity—the steeper the angle, the smaller the volume that can be transported efficiently, making the correct slope essential to avoid material stoppages.
To reduce spillage and dust, various sealing and filtration solutions can be integrated, especially in environments with strict cleanliness requirements.
