  • Meridian Utility Augers

A utility auger that runs regularly needs to fit the setup and hold up to the work. Meridian Utility Augers are available in 6-, 8- and 10-inch diameters with a base length of 16′ and extensions available in 5′, 10′, and 15′ lengths. They are designed for permanent installation in grain and feed handling applications.

Available 5-, 10- and 15-foot extensions let you match the auger length to your bin, mill or feed system. Heavy-duty construction, continuous flighting and splined extension couplings make it a practical choice for equipment that’s expected to work day after day.

Use the table below to compare pulley and horsepower requirements for each diameter and length.

FAQ

Meridian Utility Augers are available in 6-, 8- and 10-inch diameters. Available 5-, 10- and 15-foot extensions allow the total length to be configured for the installation. Use the specification table to compare pulley and horsepower requirements for each diameter and length.

Choose the diameter based on the required capacity and the material being handled. Total length depends on the distance between the intake and discharge points. Once those measurements are known, use the specification table to identify the required motor pulley and horsepower. Your Meridian dealer can help confirm the final configuration.

Meridian Utility Augers are available for fixed seed, drying and feed handling setups. Common installations include hopper-bottom bins, roller mills and other locations where the auger remains in place as part of the handling system.

No. The motor and drive pulley aren’t included. The motor pulley requirement and recommended horsepower vary according to the auger diameter and total length, so refer to the specification table when selecting the drive components. A B44 belt is supplied with all models.

Meridian offers 5-, 10- and 15-foot extension sections. Splined couplings connect the extensions to the 16-foot base section. Confirm the required overall length and horsepower with your Meridian dealer before ordering.

Available equipment includes an intake shield, mounting kit, auger boot and universal boot. The appropriate components will depend on the bin, intake arrangement and installation.

Meridian Utility Augers are intended for fixed installations and can remain in place as part of a grain, seed or feed handling setup. Installation, guarding and maintenance requirements should be confirmed for the specific application.
