TO SELECT AN AUGER SYSTEM

1. RPM:

Select an RPM for your required capacity. Capacities are for corn (14-15% moisture) or ground feed and wheat (14%moisture).  Multiply by .61 for soybeans (14% moisture).

_{Capacities are based on a 65% auger fill rate.  80% is theoretical maximum.  Soybeans have a 40% fill rate with a 55% theoretical maximum.}

Select the belt for your RPM, and horsepower combination.
