GrowerSELECT Poultry Feed Auger Run-in Procedure All Installations of Hog Slat’s Poultry Feed Auger should be Run-in using the following procedure. This procedure applies to new installations as well as just auger replacement in existing auger tubing. This also assumes that the recommended auger pretension procedure is complete. 1. Close the slide on the unloader. 2. Run the system dry for 15 - 30 minutes. While the system is running, close all drops except for the one furthest from the feed bin. 3. After dry run-in, leave the system running while slowly opening the slide 1” to 1-1/2”. Allow feed to enter the system for 1 minute (approximately 50 pounds of feed), and then close the slide. 4. Go to the last drop and wait for all the feed in the line to exit the system. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 three additional times until feed is clean and dry. This process removes the manufacturing grease and oil from auger and tubes. Failure to completely remove grease and oil will result in excessive feed build up causing auger to plug and bind. 6. At this point the auger system is ready to be run normally, with the slide in the fully open position.
