Auger Brazing

If the auger needs to be spliced or lengthened, locate the brazed joint closer
to the power unit to minimize feed flow restriction in the line.
To align the auger for brazing, lay it in an 18" (46 cm) piece angle iron and
clamp securely.
Rotate the auger to allow both the inside and outside edges of the augers to
be brazed.
Butt the ends of the auger against each other. DO NOT SCREW ONE AUGER INSIDE THE OTHER--This
restricts the feed flow.
Lap the augers approximately 2" (50 mm), as shown in Figure 18.
A bronze, flux-coated rod is recommended. The joint should be well filled and smooth so that it does not wear
against the tube. Allow the joint to air cool.
