Calculate Auger Length



Formula

To calculate the Auger Length (AL):

\[ AL = (E + \frac{1}{2}D) \times 1.4 \]

What is Auger Length?

Auger length refers to the length of the auger needed to transport materials, such as grain, from one location to another, typically from a bin to a truck or another storage facility. The length is calculated based on the height of the bin and its diameter to ensure efficient and effective material handling.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ AL = (20 + \frac{1}{2} \times 10) \times 1.4 = 35 \text{ ft} \]

The Auger Length is 35 ft.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ AL = (15 + \frac{1}{2} \times 8) \times 1.4 = 26.6 \text{ ft} \]

The Auger Length is 26.6 ft.
