"The auger may be one of the most hardworking pieces of equipment on a grain operation,” said Matthew Manness, AGI Director of Global Product Management for Portable Material Handling. “They tend to run long hours at high capacities during harvest and spend most of their time exposed to the elements. So, they must be durable as well as reliable. AGI engineered these next-gen augers to extend lifespan, reduce downtime, increase serviceability, and provide high-capacity output and efficiency.”
The MKX 2 and HX2 augers feature a discharge spout that reduces horsepower requirements up to 20% while delivering fast, efficient flow of grain. The auger series have easy-to-access service points with larger access and clean-out doors on the boot to reach the internal gearboxes and bearings.
The AGI Hutchinson-Mayrath HX2 augers feature Abrasive Resistant (AR) flighting, which lasts three times longer than regular flighting.
The AGI Westfield MKX 2 augers feature Wear Edge Technology in the hopper flights, transition flight, swing tube flight, and lower flight.
