GrowerSelect GROW FLEX Auger Feed System Installation Operation Manual Addendum

Hog Slat Inc. Newton Grove, NC USA August 2018 Grow-Flex TM Feed System 1. Determine where the entrance hole for the auger tube must be located on the building and cut a hole large enough to fit tubing. 2. Place provided seal ring (location #3 in Figure 3) and neoprene seal (location #4) over the straight end of the elbow (item #1 in Figure 3). Insert elbow with straight end into building entrance hole. Secure seals to outside of building with required hardware. Position and cut (if required) the elbow at desired length to ensure that auger inside building will be horizontal. Figure 3. Bin to building elbow and tube layout diagram (Side View) (Single & Quad Unloaders) 3. Model 75, 90, & HR: Slide the belled end of the auger tube item #2 over the outlet end of the unloader. (Recommendation: a short section of auger tube should be cut approximately 12” long and attach the belled end to unloader outlets.) A clamp is provided to secure the auger tube to the unloader. Attach bell end of additional auger tubes or elbow to short section of auger tube as required. Do not connect elbow tubes directly onto unloaders. Model 55: Install a straight section of Model 55 auger tube (approximately 12” long) over the outlet end of the unloader. Do not assemble the belled end of auger tube to the unloader. A clamp is provided to secure the auger tube to the unloader. Attach bell end of additional auger tubes or elbow as required. 4. Place the end of a straight section of tube inside the belled end of the elbow extending from building. Hold the straight section of auger tube so that it touches the elbow on the unloader side. Mark the spot where the tube aligns with the "unloader" elbow and cut the elbow at that point. 5. Place the belled end of the auger tube over the end of the elbow that was just cut, and hold the tube against the top elbow. Cut the auger tube long enough to fit inside the belled end of the elbow in the building. Figure 4 shows the direction the auger is to run in relation to the belled end of the tube. (Note: some installations may only require auger tubes and a single elbow which enters the building.)
