Supporting The System Outside The Building - Chore-Time FLEX-AUGER 108 Installation And Operator's Manual

Model 108 FLEX-AUGER® Feed Delivery System

Supporting the System Outside the Building

Some systems require additional support to avoid sagging auger tubes. This support must be adequate to support
the weight of the auger tubes filled with feed. Special attention should be given to avoid excessive pressure from
the auger being transferred to boot. Chain or cable suspended from the bin or building will not provide adequate
support for these systems.
Some common systems are shown in Figures 8 through 12, with the recommended supports.
Note:Supports must be designed to prevent (weight) loads from being transferred back onto the boot.
The auger tubes must be supported every 4-5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 m) for PVC systems and every 10 feet (3 m) for
steel systems.
