Adding metal to tub mixer auger

[Horn&corn]

Anyone done it successfully? Any tips? Is it worth putting stainless in or big chunk of mild steel enough? I’ve heard of stainless bar around the edge of the auger but I fear it would wear the flight even more? Also any good suppliers for metal especially stainless. Thanks

I think it is @Captain Slack that sells Ferobide tiles which you can just weld on

it is not just the ends that wear, that is what you can see. We have also had quite a bit of wear at the point where the auger flight meets the tube, and the weld has worn away with the tube

Think you have had the best out of that one

Rs Agri do metal strips to weld along the edge, they did ours a couple of years ago, they're starting to wear thin now but certainly extended life of the augers.

Most manufacturers would sell you a reflight kit for your auger. It works but as others have said the tube itself wears a lot and also that bottom wing is a separate piece to the flighting. So it can come to a lot of work and money for an auger that won’t last as long as a new one.
