Planning the Feed Delivery System

Carefully plan the Model 108 Fill System installation. Make sure the system will not interfere with other
equipment, doors, windows, etc.
The charts below provide power unit recommendations and maximum system line lengths. The top chart applies
to standard 348 RPM systems. The lower chart applies to (optional) High Capacity 425 RPM systems.
High Moisture Corn
Installations:
Reduce the line length capacity
for each Power Unit by 50% in
high moisture corn applications
Straight-Thru Tandem
Installations:
Reduce the line length by 50 ft. (15.2 m) for
Straight-Through Tandem Systems.
*Maximum line lengths should be reduced for elevations over 8' (2.4 m) and/or inclines steeper than 45 degrees.
Maximum lengths for 108 systems include use of two PVC elbows. If additional elbows are used, decrease line
length by 30 ft. (9 m) per elbow. Length of extension systems do not include elbows. Decrease maximum
extension system lengths by 30 ft. (9 m) per elbow if used in the system.
Horsepower requirements are based on length of the Model 108 FLEX-AUGER
installed--i.e. number of turns.
See the sections starting with "Model 108 Flex-Auger® Systems Bin Placement Chart" on page 10 for
typical bin to building placement using various elevations, boots, and screener options.
1.For the easiest installation and most trouble-free operation, locate the feed bin in a direct line with the FLEX-
®
AUGER Feed Delivery System. The layout charts on page 10 and page 11 provide some points of reference
for bin placement according to the height at which the FLEX-AUGER
these are only examples. The layouts can be modified by changing the elbows, the tube sections, and/or the dis-
tance from the bin to the building.
®
FLEX-AUGER Feed Delivery Systems operate best at an angle of no more than 60 degrees from horizontal
to the entry of the building at the desired height. Chore-Time considers a 45 degree elevation to be stan-
dard. The lower the angle, the more reliable the system.
