Not all flex augers are created equally, especially if the auger will not move your material effectively.
Too often we hear stories about material bridging or not making rate with a flex auger creating a bottleneck in the operation. Slow moving material or material that clogs a flex auger to the point of needing to stop the line and do a clean out is both inefficient and annoying!
We are here for you with the solutions you need! Recently, we added a newly designed flex auger to our testing department in St. Paul, MN. We are offering you an opportunity to test your material in our new auger for FREE.
This is great for customers that might be questioning if a flex auger is right for their application, or if you have challenging material. Just send your material to us and we can test it prior to purchasing. During testing, we can explore different flow rates, conveying angles and material degradation. We are happy to take videos or have customers stop by our location to witness the testing in person.
Flex augers are a staple in our industry, but when deciding if it is the right fit for your application, there are some factors to consider.
- Capacity and throughput are always a primary concern, but product integrity can also be important, in certain applications. We have different options that we offer both with the flighting of the screw as well as the material of the outer tube casing.
- Ease of maintenance is also a common concern, especially if the flex auger is in an area that requires regular cleaning. Finding an auger that both does the job and includes quick access covers, and a portable design is the goal for the best experience. Our portable tipping units have been a perfect solution for many clients!
- Flexibility and Customization. This is what really sets Dynequip Flexible Screw Conveyors apart from others. Our robust designs and ability to customize each unit per the application is a key factor in choosing Dynequip.
- Longevity. We focus on the longevity of each unit and specific design details that will improve the overall operation of the equipment in your process.
Remember, we have the test unit ready to go, in our shop, and we can test material on short notice! Send us your material and we will analyze it and give you a report back on how well it will move within our flex auger!
Additionally, the test unit can be rented out if you are in a pinch!
