Re: Auger Design
What's tricky? Just slide the bottom section away along the direction of travel so the material just falls straight through. ■

or simply put a flop gate at the end of the feeder conveyor. ■

Flow Past The Screw
The simplest way is to have a low casing, so that the material just overflows when the screw is stationary. Alternatively, the screw could reverse to a lower outlet in the casing. ■
Auger Design
I was not clear about this problem.
The feed belt is moving loose earth at 1cuyd per min "into" an auger which is 90 degrees to the feed belt. The 12" auger then moves the earth through a pipe for discharging. our goal is 70cuyd per hr.
Our throught was to elevate the auger to a set height above the feed belt and place a tunnel with regularing door behind the auger. when the door is close the earth would pile up at the door with the auger in front, which would throw into the auger or (chocking the auger). This design is a retro, the feed belt can not be interrupped. ■
Auger design
Looking for ideas on a different kind of auger. The capacity is 60 cuyd/hr of loose earth. The auger will off load from a feed belt, feeding into the auger and beyond (on an incline-8degree). The trick is: when the auger is not turning, the feed belt will need to feed (through) the auger as well and out the other side of auger. ■
