MKX Series Features

Built Strong & Lasts Long – Westfied developed Wear Edge Technology™ to extend the life of the flighting. This provides an extra layer of steel welded to the edge on critical wear points. As a result, flighting lasts longer and needs to be replaced less often – saving time and money. To protect the finish and prevent rusting, Westfield uses a durable powder coat paint.

Smooth & Efficient Operation – The MKX Series uses square, one-bolt flight connections to ensure the flighting maintains proper alignment for smooth operation. The upper flight thrust adjuster equalizes the pressure between the upper and lower bearings during operation. This extends the life of the lower boot bearing. The CV PTO reduces vibration and provides maximum power transfer to the auger in order to maintain the life of the unit without sacrificing capacity. The large boot and tapered boot flight maximizes auger capacity at all angles by efficiently channeling grain from the hopper into the auger.

Easy To Service & Maintain – The removable slip-on boot flight uses Wear Edge Technology™ and can be quickly replaced without having to remove and replace the entire lower flight. The MKX Series features six easily accessible service points to allow for quick maintenance of u-joints, chains, bearings, and gearboxes. The u-joint end caps have external grease zerks, making it easy to service and maintain. Tool free inspection areas include, the hopper chain cover, neck transition, boot clean-out and swing head cover. The large clean-out, service points, and access panels allow for fast and efficient auger cleaning and servicing.

Trussing + Frame – The MKX Series is designed to maintain rigid alignment during heavy loads. Whether it’s heavy-duty cable trussing on smaller units or Westfield’s industry-leading steel trussing on longer, heavier units, the MKX withstands bowing to maintain proper tube and flighting alignment making it easier to line the auger up with the bin cap opening. The A-frame undercarriage is built to hold the auger in position and works with wide-standing axles to prevent the auger from swaying or moving once it has been positioned at the bin and the grain starts flowing.

Hopper + Hopper Lift Arm – The low profile hopper features left and right hand flighting to pull grain toward the center of the hopper so it flows efficiently up into the tapered boot – maximizing capacity and minimizing unload time. The 6″ rubber extension along the edge of the hopper prevents grain from splashing. The hopper lift arm and hopper can be positioned on the left or right hand side of the auger, offering the convenience of unloading from either side. Low Profile Hopper also has easy access drive components & u-joints with external grease zerks for maintenance.

Sealed Spout & Boot – The MKX Series has a sealed spout and boot with improved access panels & cleanout.

Square Shaft Flighting – The MKX Series has square shaft flighting connections with a removable & replaceable boot flight.

Steel Trussing – Steel trussing on the top of the auger for stability and durability.

Extendable Axles – All models have extendable axles for stability at the bin site and narrower transport width.

Auger Length 

Formula for calculating the length of auger required to fill a bin:

STEP #1: Determine distance (H) from ground to eave of bin.

STEP #2: Add distance from Step #1 to 1/2 of bin diameter (D).

STEP #3: Multiply total figure from step 2 by 1.4.

STEP #4: The figure determined in Step 3 is the exact length of auger needed. Use the next longer length of Westfield Auger

TOTAL FORMULA
(H + 1/2D) x 1.4= Auger Length
