ABSTRACT:
An auger assembly that has three individual augers that function cooperatively to transport silage within a silo. Specifically, the auger assembly is used to manipulate silage during the loading and unloading of a silo. The first and third augers have the same flighting and rotate in the same direction. The second auger is positioned between the first and third augers and rotates in the opposite direction and has flighting that is the opposite of the flighting of the first and third augers. The individual augers rotate so that silage is moved along parallel with the longitudinal axes of the augers. The design of the auger assembly allows the assembly to transition from a loading to an unloading configuration by electronically reversing the direction of rotation of the individual augers without mechanically altering the auger assembly configuration.
