Better Than A Brush Auger
 ✖  |
"The problem with brush-type augers is their limited capacity and short life. They wear out fast," says Vance Lundell, veteran auger manufacturer who's experimenting with a new-style auger made from a combination of rubber and polyethylene. "Preliminary tests show it has about twice as much capacity as a comparable size brush auger, and lasts three to four times as long. The flanges are flexible, providing as good or better protection against broken or damaged kernels as you get with a brush auger," explains Lundell who expects to have his new competitively priced brush-replacement auger on the market by late 1993. It'll have the same exclusive design features we incorporate into our existing line of Lundell injection molded modular screw conveyers (pictured). In applications where areas of high wear develop, or in the case of damage, individual modules can be replaced, eliminating the need to replace the entire auger. Another exclusive design feature is our interlocking lap joint. Pressure exerted by the conveyed material forces flight joints together, producing longer-wearing, abrasion-resistant flighting," ex-plains Lundell.
