Plastic Liners For Grain Cart Auger Tubes
 |
“The steel floors on Killbros and Kinze grain carts with horizontal augers tend to wear more,” explains Vance Lundell, Lundell Plastics Corp. “Most grain carts have vertical augers, but the horizontal augers rub the grain against the curved trough.”
Lundell’s solution is a curved liner made from UHMW polyethylene. The alternative, he notes, is to patch the steel.
“The liner is easier to install and will last longer than a steel patch,” says Lundell. Liners range from $150 to $750, depending on cart size, auger length and area to be covered.
While the curved liner is designed to meet the needs of Kinze and Killbros grain carts, Lundell stresses that the company is ready to custom design solutions for other problems as well.
“We do lots of custom work,” says Lundell. “If you have a problem, give us a call. If it’s a piece of equipment, have the brand, model, style and size, and we’ll go from there.”
