Auger Brazing
The auger should be brazed if it is necessary to splice or lengthen it. A bronze, flux coated rod is recommended.
The ends of the auger should butt against each other, DO NOT THREAD INSIDE EACH OTHER. See
The joint should be well filled with no sharp edges or rough corners to wear against the tube. To align the auger
for brazing, lay it in angle or channel iron and clamp it firmly in place. Use low heat. Allow the joint to air cool;
rapid cooling will cause the auger to become brittle.
Actuator Installation
The LIBERTY Actuator is used to raise and lower the feed level cone. Settings are #1-#5, with the #1
being the lowest position (grow out) and #5 being the highest position(brooding). For turkey brooding
use the #5 position on the actuator for brooding. For broilers brooding use #3 position on the actuator
for brooding.
Planning
below shows how to locate the Actuator, Insulator and Springs. Divide up the feeder line length in
segments not to exceed 200 ft [60.96m]. Locate the actuator in the center of each segment. max length 100 ft
[30.48m] in each direction
