5. Motors

WARNING

Electrical controls and wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician. The
motor disconnect switches and conductor cables should comply with the
National Electrical Code and any local codes which apply. Reset and motor
starting stations should be located so that the operator can see that all personnel
are clear of the equipment.

WARNING

Disconnect and lock out power before resetting motor overloads. Make certain
electric motors are grounded.

Electric Drive Motors

A. Knowing the bin size and the length of flighting to be used in the unloading tube is necessary to

determine how much horsepower is required for the job.

B. Use the Chart below to determine the size of motor required. Use a larger motor when encountering

high moisture or when high capacity is required.

NOTE: For high capacity or high moisture, use one size larger motor.
LONGER BELT NOTE: Longer belts may be required when using larger framed motors due to high

capacity or high moisture applications.

C. The following horsepower recommendations are for augering relatively dry grain. Use an electric

motor of the proper size that operates at 1750 RPM. Motor pulleys are not furnished with the auger.

D. A magnetic starter should be used for the operator’s protection and for the protection of the motor.

This helps to protect the operator against accidental re-start caused by power interruption, conductor
fault, low voltage, circuit interruption or motor overload. Therefore, the motor must be restarted
manually. If using a motor with built-in thermal overload protection, make sure this type of motor has
a manual reset.

6. Start-Up

Failure to perform any or all of these pre-start checks may cause damage to the
equipment and/or cause SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH to those in the work area.

Failure to perform any or all of these pre-start checks may also be a misuse of the
equipment. Any misuse of the equipment may void the warranty.

ALWAYS keep ALL guards and shields in place, until all the power is
disconnected and locked out.

DANGER

WARNING

Make certain ONLY trained operators are in the work area before operating or
moving the machine. Two (2) people must always be in a position where the
operation of the equipment can be monitored.

Perform Pre-Start Checks

DANGER

A. Make sure ALL belts are tensioned properly.
B. Make sure ALL shields are in place and that the belt(s) and pulley(s) are able to move freely.
C. Inspect the drive unit for any problems or potential problems.
D. Be aware of any emergency shut down procedures. Two (2) people must always be in a position

6. Start-Up

CAUTION

DO NOT start or stop the auger while it is under load. Doing so may cause the
auger to jam.

Failures may occur if the auger is run full before it has been “polished” during the
“break-in” period.

CAUTION

NEVER operate the auger empty. Operating augers empty for any length of time
will cause excessive wear.
NEVER operate the auger at speeds higher than recommended. Auger flight speed
in excess of recommended speed causes excessive wear.

CAUTION

Be aware of any unusual vibration or noises during the initial start-up and
“break-in” period. If anything unusual is detected, immediately shut down the
auger and disconnect and lock out the power supply before servicing.

CAUTION

Start the Auger

A. Start the auger.

B. Run the auger through a “break-in” period if it is being used for the first time or for the first time of

the season.

C. Polish the flighting by running the auger at partial capacity until it is smooth, before attempting

to run it at full capacity.

22 PNEG-1430 6"-6", 6"-8", 8"-8", 8"-10" and 10"-12" 25° Bin Unloader

7. Operation

WARNING

Be alert for any unusual vibrations, noises and the loosening of any fasteners. If
anything unusual is detected, immediately shut down the auger, disconnect and
lock out the power source before servicing.

Operate the Auger

NOTE: The auger capacity can fluctuate greatly under varying conditions. Moisture content, different

commodities, amount of foreign matter and speeds all play a part in the performance of the auger.
For example, 25% moisture may cut capacity by as much as 40% under some conditions.

A. Make certain there are at least two (2) people in the work area to monitor operations at all times.
B. Visually inspect the auger periodically during operation.

C. Consideration should be given to the proper size auger for a batch drying or any intermittent type

operations. When augers are stopped and re-started under full load, it may result in damage to the
auger. Using a larger diameter auger and reducing its load level is generally preferable to subjecting
a smaller diameter auger to big loads. If an auger is kept from absolute filling, it will make start-up
easier and it will convey more efficiently.

8. Shut Down

NEVER start the equipment under load. Doing so may cause damage. This type of
damage is considered a misuse of the equipment. Any misuse of the equipment
may void the warranty.

Normal Shut Down

A. Before shutting down the unit, be sure the hoppers and augers are empty.
B. Disconnect and lock out the power source before leaving the work area.

Emergency Shut Down

A. Know how to shut down the auger in case of an emergency.
B. Do not re-start the auger when it is under load.
C. Close the bin well control gates.
D. Re-connect and unlock the power source.
E. Clear the auger gradually until there is no grain and there are no obstructions.

11. Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution

Auger vibration

Low capacity

Auger plugs

1. Drive belt may be overtightened, putting head
stub and flight in a bind. Damage can occur to
the auger flighting, thus causing noise. Damage
usually is caused from foreign material having
been run through the auger.

1. The auger may not be getting enough grain.

2. The auger is moving too slowly.

1. The auger may be getting too much grain,
causing “jamming” inside the housing.

2. The motor may be too small or wired improperly.

3. The grain may be wet.

4. The auger may be jammed with foreign material.

5. The discharge end may be plugged.

1. It may be necessary to remove the flighting
for inspection.

2. Adjust the drive belt to the proper tension.

1. Check that the intake has not bridged over,
restricting flow. The exposed flighting at the
auger intake should be covered with grain to
achieve maximum capacity.

2. Check the auger speed. Speeds slower than the
recommended speed will result in low capacity.

1. Decrease the amount of grain the auger
is gathering.

2. If the motor is a newer lightweight aluminum
type, the next larger size should be considered.

3. If wet grain or other hard-to-move material is
being augured, use a larger size motor than
recommended for normal use.

4. Be sure there is no foreign material in the auger
such as sacks, tarp corners, etc.

5. Make sure the discharge end of the auger is not
plugged. A plug of the discharge end will cause
an auger plug.
