Subject: RE: U-trough auger capacity


Hennepin, IL
Depending what youre doing, Im fairly certain you can get more than that out of them. I think those bph ratings are so the grain has time to drop without being carried past an intermediate sump. If youre just carrying from one end to the other, you can probably speed them up a bit or run them fuller. Ive got a couple 8" Sudenga u troughs and that 1100 bph figure seems about where we would run it and you would get a few kernels every now and then make it to the end when you had one of the intermediate drops open. Also once the flighting got some age it would want to bubble up at the carrier bushings. Pieces of cover or some carefully placed tin fixes that though.

Edit: 5k out of a 10" is doubtful. Ill bet 5k out of a 12" is doable if like I said youre carrying from one end to the other.
