Auger
An auger is a device used to move material or liquid by means of a rotating helical flighting. The material is moved along the axis of rotation. For some uses, the helical flighting is enclosed in a tube. For other uses, the flighting is not encased. As an integral part of a drill, the auger of the drill bit are used to remove shavings from the hole being drilled.
Augers have a variety of applications. Snowblowers use augers to move snow towards an impeller, where it is thrown into the discharge chute. Combine harvesters use both enclosed and open augers to move the unthreshed crop into the threshing machine and to move the grain into and out of the machine's hopper. Ice resurfacers use augers to remove loose ice particles from the surface of the ice. Some rubbish compactors use augers to push the rubbish into a lowered plate at one end for compaction. For an injection molding machine, an auger is its central component.
Plumbers use a flexible auger to remove obstructions from pipes. Ice fishermen use gas-powered or hand-powered augers to drill holes for fishing. Handheld augers can be used for garden planting.
In oil fields, augers are used to transport rock cuttings away from the shakers to skips. Augers can also be used to force food products through dies to produce pellets. Auger screws are used in construction for special drilling rigs to dig holes for deep foundation piles. They can also be used for piles forming a piling retaining wall, which can be constructed in the same way as foundation piles.
Additionally, our augers can also be used for coal cutting and used as an integral part of a hand held drilling machine to be used in gardening. Used in combination with large drilling equipment, they are also applicable for drilling holes on claybed and rock stratum
