Auger Requirments

Selecting the correct auger for a silo is very important. Make sure the auger will easily reach the silo with the drop chute attached. The height quoted in the silo specifications is for the silo only. You must take into account the height of the silo slab, and the slope of the ground, when calculating the overall height of the silo. The maximum quoted height an auger will reach is not its working height. Operating an auger at its maximum height will cause accelerated wear on the flighting and drive train. For more information visit the AGI Westfield website or your local Westfield auger dealer.

* Tons per hour quoted is a guide only. Many factors including moisture content, auger angle, grain type and foreign matter have a large bearing on the capacity of an auger.

** The heights quoted are the maximum height the auger will reach in ideal conditions. Do not run an auger at its maximum height as it becomes very inefficient and causes accelerated wear on the flighting and drive train.
