Pellet Feed Auger for Pellet Burners

Pellet feed augers are mechanisms that transport pellets from the hopper to the combustion chamber of the pellet burner. They are made from strong and durable materials that can withstand high temperatures and loads. They operate on the principle of screw movement—rotating to move the pellets forward to the combustion chamber. This ensures a constant flow of fuel and helps maintain the optimal temperature in the system.

For the optimal operation of your pellet burner, we advise you to keep the augers in good condition by:

• Regularly cleaning the auger of accumulated pellets and dust—at least once a month;
• Checking and lubricating moving parts to ensure smooth operation;
• Periodically checking the pellet feed  auger for wear and damage.
