Westfield Augers

Since 1951, AGI Westfield has developed and refined the best grain augers available. We’ve learned that farmers want affordable, simple, straightforward designs for labor saving performance and dependability. Through a commitment to farm proven designs and innovation, AGI Westfield has earned a solid reputation for superior quality products. We take pride in developing the grain auger industry in order to improve the profitability and lifestyle of farmers today. Our grain augers are built with the best materials, components and features to provide value and performance you can count on. This is our promise and the reason why we’re the industry leader. AGI Westfield’s W & WR Series is better by design, featuring Wear Edge Technology™ on critical wear points to extend the life of the flighting and powder coat paint for a strong durable finish. With more features and options than anyone else, the W & WR can be customized to suit any situation.

Wear Edge Technology™

Westfield 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.

Powder Coat Paint

Westfield uses durable powder coat paint for a strong, long-lasting finish that looks good and protects against rust.

Roller track Shoe

A roll-formed track under the auger tube provides rigid support. Longer, heavier units have cable trussing for extra support and positive tube alignment.

Driveshaft Bearings

Driveshaft bearings are constructed of durable oil-impregnated hardwood, for long, quiet operation.

Undercarriage

The undercarriage is made of heavy steel tubing that is designed for each specific auger length for balance and stability.

Lubricated Upper Drive

The lubricated upper drive extends the life of sprockets and drive chain.

Westfield WR-W Series Auger Literature

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

Flight Speed

Gas Motor RPM=3,000 Electric Motor RPM=1,750

TOTAL FORMULA
(Top Sprocket/Bottom Sprocket) x (Motor Pulley/Auger Pulley) x Motor RPM = Flight Speed
