Configuration Options:
Selecting the right Brock Rigid Auger configuration is crucial for optimal performance. Please use the dropdown menus on the product page to specify your required Auger Size and Auger Length. Here’s a guide to help you choose:
-
Auger Size:
- 4-inch (102 mm) Diameter: This size is primarily recommended for conveying many types of animal feed. It offers reliable performance for feed transfer applications.
- 6-inch (152 mm) Diameter: This larger diameter is better suited for moving grain and can also handle limited feed conveying tasks. It generally offers a higher conveying capacity compared to the 4-inch model.
- Selection Guidance: Choose the diameter based on the primary material you will be moving and your required throughput. Consult Brock documentation or an expert if unsure about capacity for your specific material.
-
Auger Length:
- Available Lengths: 5 ft, 10 ft, 15 ft, 20 ft.
- Selection Guidance: Measure the distance from your bin's boot outlet to the desired discharge point, considering the necessary incline angle. Select the shortest length that comfortably covers this distance. Remember that the Universal Parts Kit allows for significant angle adjustments (5° below horizontal to 65° above when used with a 30° transition).
