Capacity
The results or capacities of screw conveyors or augers can vary greatly under diverse conditions. Different
materials, moisture content, amounts of foreign matter, angle of operation, methods of feeding and speed
all play a role in performance of the auger. Capacities listing in the
Chart below will be achieved when
augering reasonably dry grain. Maximum possible capacity will be less with high moisture grain (above
15%) than with dry grain.
