Messersmith - Traveling Auger System

The Messersmith traveling auger is the low cost solution to many material handling problems. Material bridging and jamming is not an issue with a Messersmith traveling auger. There are no restrictive points to cause material jams. The traveling auger traverses the entire length of the storage bin, thus undermining and releasing any bridging of material. The traveling auger has carbide teeth on its perimeter to help break up frozen material. It can operate in material depths up to 20’.

The traveling auger is easy to maintain. There are no filters or dripping seals to replace, no hydraulic fluid leaks to clean up and no pumps to rebuild. No oil coolers are needed in the summer months. Periodic greasing of bearings is the primary maintenance requirement. 

Low energy consumption is a hallmark of Messersmith systems. The traveling auger only needs 5 HP to operate. When a traveling auger is teamed with conveyors and metering bin, the total horsepower required is often less than 10 HP.
