Formula for calculating the length of auger required to fill a bin:
STEP #1: Determine distance (H) from ground to eave of bin.
STEP #2: Add distance from Step #1 to 1/2 of bin diameter (D).
STEP #3: Multiply total figure from step 2 by 1.4.
STEP #4: The figure determined in Step 3 is the exact length of auger needed. Use the next longer length

TOTAL FORMULA
(H + 1/2D) x 1.4= Auger Length |

| Determining the Flight Speed Needed |
| Gas Motor RPM=3,000 Electric Motor RPM=1,750 |
TOTAL FORMULA
(Top Sprocket/Bottom Sprocket) x (Motor Pulley/Auger Pulley) x Motor RPM = Flight Speed |
| |
| How to Calculate Ground Length Measurement |
|
| Square the auger length (K) and the auger height (C). Subtract from the squared length (K).
The ground length (L) is the square root of this number. |
TOTAL FORMULA
L = √ (KxK) - (CxC) |
