If an extension hopper is used:
A. Locate the hopper so there will not be any outlet drops on the
short tube or elbow leading out of the hopper.
B. The longer portion of the system with most of the outlet drops
should follow the extension hopper. For example: in a 300’ (91.4
m) Model 75 System the distance from the bin to the extension
hopper should be 100’ (30.5 m). From the extension hopper to
the control unit should be 200’ (61 m) with most outlets placed
on the 200’ (61 m) section. Refer to chart on page 7, for power
unit requirements.
C. NOTE: The lower part of the extension hopper can be turned 90
degrees to the left or right in relation to the top portion of the
extension hopper. This allows the extension hopper to replace a
horizontal elbow where both might be located in approximately
the same position in the system.
7. Remember the following points when installing a Straight-Through
Tandem System or Two Motor Tandem System:
A. The straight-through tandem bin arrangement uses one continu-
ous auger.
B. The Two Motor Tandem bin arrangement uses two separate au-
gers and power units.
C. Pour one level concrete pad for both bins (in either system).
D. Position bins so that legs will not interfere with the FLEX-AU-
GER System (in either system). See the Two Motor Tandem Sys-
tem instructions (MA524, Model 75, 90, & HMC systems only).
8. Use the chart on page 7 to determine maximum line lengths and
power unit requirements.
Typical System Installations
The FLEX-AUGER Delivery Systems may be readily adapted to most
feed delivery applications. The systems illustrated on the following
pages show the most common types of FLEX-AUGER installations.
These diagrams provide guidelines for laying out your system.
Four systems that are not recommended are shown on pages 12 & 13.
Possible alternate systems are provided with each non-recommended
system.
System A represents a typical straight-line system with optional tan-
dem bin setup. If this were a long system with many outlet drops,
some feed bypass should be provided by increasing the size of the
outlet holes, from small at the bin end, to the large at the control
end of the line.
