Model 108 FLEX-AUGER Installation Manual
Auger Brazing
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 au-
gers 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 18.
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.
