FLEX-AUGER® Feed Delivery System

Cementing the PVC Auger Tube

The auger tubes and elbows for the FLEX-AUGER systems are made of specially formulated PVC tubing. Use
the PVC solvent cement to make strong, reliable bonds.
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ON THE CAN FOR SAFE HANDLING OF CEMENT.
1.Be sure tube is cut off squarely. Remove burrs from outside and inside the end of the tube.
2.Dry fit all parts. Tube should fit inside belled end of next tube to full depth without excess force.
3.Clean surfaces to be joined. SURFACES MUST BE FREE OF DIRT OR GREASE!
4.Apply a generous coat of cement to both the inside of the belled end and outside of the other tube. Be sure
cement covers all of the joint area so there are no bare spots.
5.Quickly join the tubes, giving them a twisting motion to bring them into alignment as they are joined.
6.Keep pressure on the joint until the PVC cement sets up.

Livestock and Poultry Feed Consumption

Poultry

Poultry applications use automatic feeding systems sized for the building density. The FLEX-AUGER Feed
Delivery System's delivery rate should be sized to match or exceed the sum of the delivery rates of the automatic
feeders supplied.

TO DETERMINE THE RUNNING TIME PER DAY-Multiply the number of animals by the feed consumption/
head figures from the charts to get Total Feed Consumption.
-Divide Total Feed Consumption by the stated delivery rate of the FLEX-AUGER Feed Delivery System to get
running time per day in minutes. Divide this by 60 to get running time per day in hours.
