Pipe and Flighting
Remove and replace the auger when the flighting is worn thin to the point where it flexes, bends easily or is scraping the
floor of the tub.
Remove and replace the auger before the pipe wall loses structural integrity and you are easily able to dent it with a
hammer.

Wear Components
When auger components begin to show signs of wear you will notice an increase in horsepower draw to run the feed
processor.
Critical wear components on an auger are as follows (see ):
1. Knives
2. Fasteners
3. Backing Plates
4. Kicker Plate
5. Pipe
6. Flighting
7. Outer Edge
8. Leading Edge
Knives, Fasteners, Backing Plates
These items are the most commonly replaced items on an auger. These are removed and replaced as required (dull,
broken or worn require more horsepower).
Kicker Plate
The kicker plate is critical to the mixing action of your Supreme Feed Processor. If the kicker is worn down and the feed
processor takes longer to mix, call your local Supreme International dealer to have it replaced.
