Grain Auger Conveyor-DAHAN Vibration Machinery

What does the Grain Auger Conveyor do?

Grain auger conveyor can be used for a variety of tasks, such as loading and unloading grain from storage bins, trucks, and railcars. It can also be used for conveying feed and other materials in livestock operations. In addition, it is used in other industries, such as mining, construction, and food processing, to move bulk materials like sand, gravel, cement, and flour.

Customer case

The following are its applications in the grain industry:

Loading and Unloading: For loading and unloading grain from storage bins, trucks, trailers and trains. They are essential for moving grain from one location to another without compromising grain quality.

Grain Handling: Used in processing plants to transfer grain from one handling area to another, such as transferring grain from a receiving area to a cleaning area or from a cleaning area to a storage area.

Drying: For drying grain. They pass the grain through a dryer to dry it without damage.

Distribution: Used to distribute grain to different locations. They are used to transfer grain from storage bins to feeders or to distribute grain to different silos or storage bins.

What is a Grain Auger Conveyor?

A grain auger conveyor is a conveyor system used to move grain or other bulk material from one location to another. It consists of a long metal tube or slot, usually inclined at an angle, with a rotating helical blade or auger inside. As the auger rotates, it moves material along the length of the tube or trough, pushing it forward and upward. The speed of the auger can be controlled to regulate the rate at which material moves, and the angle of the tube or trough can be adjusted to control the inclination of the conveyor.

Grain auger conveyor can transport grain horizontally, inclinedly and vertically

Grain auger conveyors are commonly used in agriculture, especially for the handling of grains and other agricultural products such as wheat, corn, soybeans, peanuts, sesame, paddy and other grains, they are often used for loading and unloading from storage bins, trucks and train cars Grain, which is also used to transport feed and other materials in livestock farming.

How Does Grain Auger Conveyor Works?

Grain auger conveyor uses rotating spiral blades to push the grain for transportation. The force that makes the material and the spiral blade rotate together is the weight of the material and the frictional resistance of the screw conveyor casing to the material. The movement of grain in the middle bearing depends on the thrust of the material moving forward. Therefore, the transportation of grain in the screw conveyor is entirely a slipping motion.

Benefits of Grain Auger Conveyor

1. Large delivery volume

The conveying length of the single machine can reach 30 meters, and the segmented installation can reach 100 meters, and the conveying capacity can reach 142 cubic meters per hour.

2. No dust pollution

The sealing function is good, there will be no leakage, and no dust, so it can greatly improve the working environment.

3. Flexible layout

The diameter of the spiral body is small, but the rotation speed is high, so it has a high conveying capacity, which is especially suitable for skewed and straight conveying.

4. Multiple connection methods

The inlet and outlet can adopt various forms such as flange connection, cloth connection, cloth suspension rod connection, universal interface connection and so on.
