Auger Brazing/Filing

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 19.
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.
File the auger edges, as shown in Figure 19, to avoid damage to the auger tubes. Also, file off any brazing that
extended beyond the outside radius of the auger flightings.
Note: Sharp Auger Ends at the
braze(s) must be filed or ground
to avoid damage to Auger Tube(s).
