Auger Conveyor 

We appreciate your interest in MAGROTEX products! As experts in the field of auger conveyors for agriculture and various industries, we have spent over 25 years in our design office creating machines for the ever-growing agricultural sector, which constantly presents us with new challenges. To meet customer demands, we set durability, quality, and functionality as our top priorities. Our success is reflected in thousands of satisfied customers who continue to give us positive feedback after years of using our products.

What Can Be Transported Using a Screw Conveyor?

  • All kinds of grains and cereal seeds (wheat, barley, rye, etc.)
  • Peas, faba beans, corn, rapeseed, etc.
  • Cement, wood chips, pellets, coal dust, pea coal
The only limitation for screw conveyors is materials with large particle sizes, highly abrasive, or those that easily adhere. If you need to transport an unusual material and are unsure whether a screw conveyor is the right choice, please contact our company—we will be happy to clarify any doubts.

Why is an Inclined Auger Conveyor the Best Choice?

1UNIVERSALITY AND MOBILITY
Many farms and businesses face the dilemma of choosing the right machine to transport crops or bulk materials according to their needs. While transport requirements may vary (loading/unloading silos, warehouses, dryers, trailers, or bags), a screw conveyor can handle all these tasks, demonstrating its versatility. Grain augers can transport materials in any direction and to any height (within the appropriate discharge height range for their length). They can feed grain directly into the receiving hopper or collect it from a pile. Additionally, as farms and businesses expand, it is worth investing in versatile, mobile equipment capable of serving multiple locations. However, even stationary installation of screw conveyors is a highly effective solution. At MAGROTEX, we offer a wide range of screw conveyors, allowing customers to find a perfectly tailored solution for their needs.
2EFFICIENCY AND OPERATION
Time plays a crucial role in today’s world. The most important feature of a transporting device that saves both time and money is efficiency. In this regard, inclined screw conveyors significantly outperform vertical screw conveyors and pneumatic transport systems. High efficiency with minimal power demand, reducing energy costs Compatible with any farm’s electrical installation Simple operation with quiet performance, producing only the sound of rotating augers and moving material To ensure quiet operation, extended lifespan, and material protection, all our conveyors are equipped with supporting slide bearings. Additionally, every MAGROTEX conveyor is hot-dip galvanized, significantly extending its lifespan by protecting it from atmospheric conditions.
3RELIABILITY
Grain augers require minimal maintenance while maintaining high operational reliability. This is particularly important during peak farming periods (e.g., harvest season), where unexpected failures are not an option. MAGROTEX supports its customers with: Technical consultancy Full servicing A complete range of spare parts
4LOW COST
Comparing screw conveyors to alternative transport solutions, they offer an excellent price-performance ratio: Lower cost than bucket elevators Comparable in price to vertical screw conveyors and blowers, but with far superior efficiency, mobility, and reliability At MAGROTEX, we have designed our products with practical solutions to ensure years of trouble-free operation—all at the best possible price.

Why Galvanization Instead of Powder Coating?

When designing our conveyors, we are aware that they will often operate in demanding conditions, due to the type and condition of the transported material or environmental factors. It is not always possible to fully protect the conveyor from harmful atmospheric conditions during storage. Our customers expect MAGROTEX augers to perform reliably for many years.

Natural Protection Against Moisture

Galvanizing conveyor components is a natural way to counteract the negative impact of ubiquitous moisture. The perfectly adhering outer layer protects the base metal of the conveyor from moisture exposure. In the case of hot-dip galvanizing, the protective layer can reach up to 150 micrometers!  The hot-dip galvanization process significantly enhances the strength of the base material (structural steel), which is a major advantage of this treatment.

Extended Durability and Impact Resistance

The galvanization process extends the lifespan of the materials used in our conveyors by up to fifty years.
Galvanized coatings require no maintenance throughout the product's lifetime. Besides corrosion protection, galvanization also increases steel's impact resistance.

  • Uncoated steel has a hardness of below 160 HV on the Vickers scale.
  • Galvanized coatings have a hardness of 240 HV, significantly improving impact resistance.

When an impact occurs, the zinc coating absorbs the force, protecting the base material.

  • The outer layer is flexible, absorbing pressure and shocks.
  • The inner layer is hard, protecting the base material from damage.

This feature is crucial in material transport, as hard elements like stones are often found in agricultural products.
The protective role of the zinc coating is therefore indispensable.

Disadvantages of Powder Coating

A powder-coated conveyor is prone to rapid aging:

  • Loses elasticity over time
  • Develops cracks, scratches, and peeling
  • Requires maintenance every 6–7 years, increasing costs and downtime
