An auger is a device for moving 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. An integral part of a drill the auger of the drill bit uses this mechanism to remove shavings from a hole being drilled.

As evidenced above augers can be made from many materials and may vary in size. We have manufactured a small 2" diameter x 3' long one and also a very large 3' diameter x 30' long, DFI can manufacture augers to fit your needs, in stainless steel, high nickel or steel. Let us help you design your augers to increase production and reduce your downtime.
