Augers

Millard custom builds Augers and Screw Conveyors supporting a wide variety of applications for moving and/or mixing products from one operation to another or into storage containers, transport hoppers, combos, vats, drums, etc.  Our augers are made with heavy duty stainless steel following our "Safety and Sanitary Design Standards". Carbon construction is available for less sanitary conditions and needs.  We offer a wide range of sizes (most common are 6", 9", 12" and 20"), and most custom sizes available.

Features:

• Heavy duty Motor and Gear Box
• Stainless Steel construction
• Built to application demands
• Wash-Down duty construction

• "In-House" PassivationPassivation treatment is intended to improve the surface condition of stainless steel by dissolving iron that has been embedded in the surface during forming or machining. If allowed to remain, the iron can corrode and give the appearance of rust spots on the stainless steel. Passivation restores the original corrosion-resistant surface by forming a thin, transparent oxide film and is the preferred method for the sanitary durability of stainless steel. Millard has one of the largest "In-House" Passivation operations available for our customer's fabricated items. See our case study on passivation for details. for sanitary durability
