To ensure that the auger retains its service life for as long as possible and to ensure efficient operation of the separator auger, it must be properly maintained by following the care recommendations.

Check the auger regularly. Regular inspection of the auger is an important maintenance recommendation, as it allows you to detect any defects in time and prevent them from getting worse. The inspection should be carried out after each use and also during periods of prolonged use. Emphasis should be placed on the following points: inspection for cracks, chips, wear; checking the clearances between the auger turns; checking the functionality of the bearings.

Clean the auger after each use. This will help avoid scaling and corrosion, which will prevent damage to the auger. Make sure that all residual material and dirt is removed. You can use a soft brush and water if necessary to clean the auger, however, do not leave it wet or damp. Store the auger in a dry and clean place, protected from moisture and corrosion. When storing the auger, take it apart and wrap each part in protective film or storage.

Lubricate the auger on a regular basis. Separator augers may require lubrication according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Follow the lubrication instructions to ensure smooth and efficient rotation of the auger. This can reduce material friction and thus reduce wear.

Avoid overloading. The auger should be operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Avoid exceeding the maximum rotation speed and other operating parameters that may cause damage to the auger. When operating the auger, it is also important to monitor the ambient temperature and avoid overheating. High temperatures can deform the auger material and cause rapid wear. When using the auger, it is important to ensure that the material to be fed is within its technical specifications and does not exceed the set limits for volume and feed rate. It is also worth taking into account the characteristics of the material to be processed by the auger. Some materials are denser and heavier and may require a more powerful auger or more careful handling. If the auger malfunctions, it should be stopped and the cause of the problem identified. And you should also remember to have your auger serviced and repaired regularly by a professional if necessary.

Use only quality replacement parts. When replacing parts or repairing the auger, use only original spare parts or quality analogues. This will help to avoid damage to the auger and ensure its efficient operation.
