  If the transport system isn't running, several issues could be the cause. First, check the fuses and/or reset the circuit breakers, and inspect the cut-off switches and current lead to the house, repairing if necessary. A defective level switch could also be the problem; ensure it's correctly installed, look for feed bridging in the control unit, and replace the switch if needed. Similarly, check the operation of the safety switch in the control unit and replace it if defective. Lastly, a defective motor could be the cause, requiring replacement.

Why does my Roxell FLEX-AUGER FA 75 Farm Equipment motor overload after running for a short while?
- L
  Lisa BuckleyAug 17, 2025
  If the motor overloads quickly, several factors could be at play. It might be the wrong motor, so check the motor power and replace it if necessary. Low voltage can also cause this; inspect the current supply to the motor and use wires with the correct diameter for the connection. A foreign object in the auger can cause the motor to stall; carefully disconnect the auger, remove the object, and clean the auger and tubes, also checking the feed's fat content and moisture percentage. Ensure the motor isn't running in reverse by verifying the motor shaft turns clockwise and checking the auger for damages. Finally, the motor itself might be overheating, in which case, replace it.

What to do if Roxell FLEX-AUGER FA 75 transport system short cycles continually?

  If the transport system cycles too frequently, the level switch might not be correctly positioned in the 100kg hopper; adjust its position. Alternatively, a sensor in the tube could be the issue; consider using a VC11 or VC12 sensor if necessary.

  If the motor is running but the auger isn't turning, the issue is likely a broken bolt or a worn-out set screw in the drive shaft. Replace the bolt or set screw to resolve this.

Why does Roxell FLEX-AUGER FA 75 Farm Equipment auger run erratically?
- C
  Christine Thompson MDAug 28, 2025
  An erratic auger operation can stem from several causes. The boot bearing might be jammed or worn out, requiring replacement. The auger might be too long; shorten it, close all outlets, remove the bearing and anchor, disconnect the auger, run the system briefly, cut the auger at the rear end of the boot, and reinstall. Poor tube suspension or too many elbows can also contribute; add more suspension points, adjust the height, and reduce the number of elbows. Lastly, a kinked or poorly brazed auger scraping along the tubes could be the problem; refer to the auger brazing instructions.

What causes feed bridging in the extension boot of Roxell FLEX-AUGER FA 75?
- S
  Sean GonzalezSep 1, 2025
  Feed bridging in the extension boot can occur if there isn't enough feed drop from the last outlet before the extension boot; ensure a 100% feed drop. Additionally, the time set on the relay might be too short; consult the instructions for proper settings.

Why do elbows wear out on Roxell FLEX-AUGER FA 75?
- C
  Christine HoffmanSep 5, 2025
  Elbows wear out because the auger is either too short or too long. Adjust the auger length or install an extension boot if necessary.

What causes the second part (past the extension boot) of Roxell Farm Equipment not to start?
- B
  Brent MorganSep 8, 2025
  If the section past the extension boot isn't starting, the level switch on the first part may be defective. Check the operation of the level switch and replace it if needed.
