Systems Not Allowed
NOT ALLOWED. System H is not recommended, due to
180 degree, left-hand turns. Erratic auger operation would be
expected. The feed bin should be relocated or an Extension
Hopper should be utilized as in System G.
NOT ALLOWED. System I is not recommended, due to
180 degree, left-hand turns. Excessive elbow wear and
erratic auger operation would be expected. Systems D, E, or
G would be recommended.
NOT ALLOWED. This system uses 180 degree elbows
and would be subject to premature elbow wear due to
outlet drop placement before an elbow. System C would
be recommended.
NOT ALLOWED. Too many elbows. The result would
be auger vibration, motor stall, and excessive elbow wear.
A twin system, such as C, D, or E, would be
recommended; or an Extension Hopper could be utilized
as in System G.
