Used Grain Transport Augers for Combine Harvesters
2 available products
A broken grain auger or a non-functional agricultural elevator during peak storage season means grain isn't moving when it matters most. TMC Bejenne offers a wide selection of used grain augers and agricultural elevators, sourced from dismantled combine harvesters and storage equipment of all brands, thoroughly inspected in our workshop before shipment. Grain augers on carts, flexible grain augers, hydraulic grain augers, 220V grain augers: find the equipment suited to your operation at prices well below new. Also check out our grain elevators and our full range of used grain transport parts.
Grain Augers and Agricultural Elevators: How They Work and Their Differences
A grain auger is a screw conveyor that uses the rotating movement of a helical flighting to move grain from one point to another — from the bottom of a trailer to a silo, from one storage cell to another, or from the combine harvester’s hopper to the grain tank. The auger flighting rotates inside a steel or stainless steel tube, driven by an electric motor, hydraulic motor, or tractor power take-off. The flow rate depends on the auger's diameter, rotational speed, and the type of grain being transported.
The agricultural elevator is a mobile grain auger mounted on a wheeled cart designed to be moved between silo cells or placed under a trailer hopper for loading. It is powered by a 220V or 380V electric motor or hydraulic power take-off. The cereal elevator is the go-to equipment for bulk storage on grain farms: quick to move, easy to position, it’s the most common handling investment in farm silos. Buying used offers significant savings without compromising work capacity.
Used Agricultural Elevator on Cart: Selection Criteria
To choose a used agricultural elevator or a grain auger on cart compatible with your operation, consider these key factors:
- Length and lift height: from 6 to 12 m depending on your silo cell height or storage hopper
- Hourly flow rate: from 20 to over 100 tons/hour depending on auger diameter and power; match it to your usual harvest throughput
- Power source: 220V electric (domestic use, small flow), 380V electric (high capacity), hydraulic (powered by tractor or hydraulic unit)
- Auger diameter: from 150 mm (light elevators) up to 300 mm or more for high-capacity augers; this determines flow rate and compatibility with the grain type
- Tube material: standard steel for most agricultural applications, stainless steel for food industry or humid environments
- Cart and maneuverability: cart stability, ease of orientation and tilt adjustment, empty weight to consider for handling
Flexible Grain Augers and Hydraulic Grain Augers: Specialized Configurations
The flexible grain auger is a screw conveyor where the flighting is housed in a flexible hose rather than a rigid tube. This allows work in tight spaces, easy adjustment of grain flow direction, and reduces clogging risks on bends. It's appreciated for filling hard-to-reach storage cells or installations where building layout doesn't accommodate a standard rigid auger. When buying used, checking the condition of the flighting and flexible sleeve is crucial.
The hydraulic grain auger is driven by a hydraulic system rather than an electric motor, making it independent of the farm’s electrical network. It is powered by the hydraulic outlet of a tractor or an autonomous hydraulic power unit. Especially useful on farms with limited silo electricity access or for outdoor operations, it offers great operational flexibility. For used units, prioritize inspection of the hydraulic motor and fittings.
220V and Electric Screw Augers Used: Common Usage
- Used 220V grain auger: the most common setup for small and medium farms; single-phase motor plugged directly into domestic power, flow rates of 20 to 40 tons/hour depending on length and diameter
- Used 380V grain auger: three-phase motor for large farms and cooperatives; high flow rates, continuous operation suited to intensive harvest work
- Power units checked before shipment: inspection of windings, motor insulation, and starting capacitor condition on single-phase 220V models
- Fixed screw conveyors: grain augers permanently installed in storage buildings — available used with mounting supports as stock arrives
- Internal augers for combine harvesters: internal transfer augers and feed beater augers sourced from dismantled combine harvesters of all brands, available at TMC Bejenne
Used Grain Augers Available at TMC Bejenne
Since 1945, TMC Bejenne has been dismantling agricultural machines and storage equipment from all brands on its 11-hectare site in Naintré. Our inventory of 25,000 references includes used wheeled agricultural elevators, flexible grain augers, hydraulic and electric grain augers, as well as internal augers from dismantled Claas , John Deere , New Holland , Case IH and Massey Ferguson combine harvesters. Every grain auger is inspected in our workshop before shipment: condition of the flighting, power unit, tube sealing, and cart maneuverability for elevators. Call 05 86 24 00 26 to check availability of a grain auger suitable for your setup.
The grain auger is the generic term for any screw conveyor transporting grain. The agricultural elevator is a specific type of mobile grain auger mounted on a wheeled cart to facilitate moving between storage cells on a farm silo. It is characterized by mobility and quick setup. In common usage, the terms are often used interchangeably to describe portable wheeled grain augers. TMC Bejenne stocks used agricultural elevators on carts and internal grain augers from combine harvesters.
Choosing a used grain auger depends on four parameters: the required length based on your storage cell height, desired flow rate in tons per hour, power source available on your farm (220V, 380V or hydraulic), and the auger diameter suited to the type of grain transported. For wheeled elevators, also check chassis stability and ease of tilt adjustment. Our technicians assist you in identifying the used grain auger compatible with your setup: 05 86 24 00 26.
Standard agricultural grain augers are made from steel, suitable for most cereal uses on farms. For food industry applications requiring certified food contact, stainless steel augers are necessary. TMC Bejenne offers used grain augers sourced from dismantled agricultural equipment; most are standard steel adapted to farming. For stainless steel or food-grade inox needs, please specify when calling 05 86 24 00 26.
Maintaining a grain auger mainly involves greasing the shaft bearings at both ends, checking the flighting condition (wear, deformation), and inspecting the electric motor or hydraulic circuit depending on the power source. For wheeled elevators, wheels and orientation mechanism should be checked before each season. TMC Bejenne verifies these points in the workshop before shipment for used units. A 15-day return is possible if the part does not fit.
