Premature
wear on auger
tubes.
Auger being run at low capacity
or empty for extended period of
time. Frequently occurs on farms using grain wagons.
Auger should not be left unattended when filling
bins. Depending on application, a belt conveyor
may be more appropriate.
Bent flighting.
Flighting allowed to wear
beyond normal point of replace-
ment.
When flighting becomes razor-thin at intake,
replacement is critical. Since flight material is
double thickness at welded lap joints, high spots
on flight occur and can accelerate spot tube
wear.
