About auger feeding systems
An auger feeding system turns a spiral inside a pipe to move feed from the silo to the feeders. Length, bends and the number of outlets decide which auger and drive suit the run. We lay out the line from the silo to the last trough and check that the system empties fully and can be cleaned.
Common configurations
Flexible augers
Coreless spirals that follow gentle bends.
Rigid augers
For straight, heavy-duty runs.
Outlet types
Drops to troughs, dosers or feeders.
Selection checklist
Before we send a layout or quotation, we confirm these points with you.
| Point to confirm | Why we ask |
|---|---|
| Feed type and quantity | How much feed must move, and how fast. |
| Length and bends | Sets auger and drive size. |
| Drive unit | Motor and position. |
| Pipe connections | Joints and drop tubes. |
| Cleaning and emptying | Avoid feed left in the line. |
| Silo and end connections | Boot at the silo, sensor at the end. |
Dimensions, materials and quantities are confirmed for each project.
Scope of supply
| Usually in the package | Agreed in each contract |
|---|---|
| Silos, feed lines, drives and corners | Feed delivery to the silo and silo foundations |
| Dosers, drop tubes and troughs or feeders | Power supply and wiring on site |
| Line controls where ordered | Cleaning and feed-formula management |

Frequently asked questions
How long can an auger line be?
It depends on the auger type, bends and feed. We check each run when we lay out the line and use a chain-disc system where a long loop is needed.
