Farming is one of the world’s oldest professions. The tools needed to farm have improved in many ways. Many of the oldest designs of agricultural machines were developed to help with the harvest, movement, and storage of grains. Moving grain is done with a variety of equipment types.
Augers are one piece of useful farming equipment for grain processing. The basic way an auger works has changed very little over time. A screw within a tube turns and moves grain through the length of the tube from one end of the tube to the opposite end.
The changes to augers include sizes available as well the materials used in their construction. Metal and plastic have replaced wood and stone, allowing augers to last longer and work more effectively. Augers that connect to storage silos and other containers allows less grain to be lost to pests and spoiling. Properly stored grain lasts longer to use as animal feed or be kept in reserve for future planting.
Augers in Oregon and other parts of the northwest U.S. should be selected based on the type of grain to be grown as well as the type of containers the grain is being moved in and out of. Modern augers are offered in many different sizes and have features that can be selected that will be the most useful based on the way they need to perform.
An auger that is longer and carries grain over a distance will need a motor that has the correct range of power. Augers are usually used in combination with several other kinds of equipment that can include a wagon or cart that are available in different sizes and types.
It is a good idea to for anyone who needs Augers to work with someone who is experienced and that can offer advice on selecting the best model based on what is needed. It is also suggested that buyers find a company that can provide repair and millwright service for augers and related equipment.
