Augers serve as conveyors in seed/feed processing to move grains to and from different places. The equipment consists of a rotating blade within a large cylinder or chute. Placed at a slight incline, the blades serve to move grain from a harvester to a truck or trailer. Another auger systems is used to move the grain from the truck into a storage bins, or processing machines. Augers in Southern Idaho area are also used to move grain in and out of machine hoppers. The rotation rate and incline can be adjusted to accommodate the type of grain harvested, the places from which the grain is moved into and out of, and the size of the final product. Animal feed, for example, is also moved via auger conveyors. The weight and size of pellets used for feed is much different than that of grains, so adjustments have to be made accordingly.
