What is an auger conveyor?

Auger conveyors are found in different industries, such as industrial, food processing, and poultry settings, to move materials from one point to the next quickly and efficiently. Most of the time, it’s used in the food industry, which is why many auger conveyors are made of stainless steel.

An auger conveyor system is composed of a large screw inside a tube or cylinder. The teeth of the rotating screw are known as the auger, which transports the material through it.

The auger conveyor transfers items through the auger by spinning it in a screw-like motion.

Auger conveyors are highly reliable and require little to no maintenance compared to other conveyors. It’s also why most industries, especially the food industry, would choose it since it’s more appropriate for smaller materials.
