OPERATOR'S GUIDE
ACTIONS IN GREY BACKGROUND MUST BE DONE BY A TECHNICALLY TRAINED PERSON.
1. Never let the Flex-Auger run without feed. When the Flex-Auger runs empty, the life time ot the system
is reduced considerably.
2. Open the slide valve under the bin completely when the system runs with mash or pellets. Always use a thumper
when feeding mash. Always use pellet guides when feeding pellets (close the flow regulator).
3. THE LEVEL SWITCH IS INSTALLED LOW INSIDE THE LAST FEEDING TROUGH OR HOPPER.
See that there are enough animals in the last pen : they empty the trough completely, so that fresh feed will be
supplied at all times.
4. The restrictor on the boot anchor adjusts the amount of feed taken away by the auger.
Start any new system with the restrictor in minimum position. Let the system run a while before you adjust the
feed flow, allowing the auger to be cleaned by the feed.
You obtain minimum feed flow by moving the restrictor as far as possible away from the anchor.
In a Flex-Auger system with EXTENSION BOOT, the second part must convey more feed than the first part.
Adjust the restrictor in the intake boot with restrictor (beneath the weigher, daybin, bin....) if necessary.
5. If the Flex-Auger starts from a tandem system : empty one bin after another. Never feed from both bins at the
same time. When one of the bins is empty, remove the thumper (if used).
6. Maximum running time per day :4 hours (system without elbows) / 2 hours (system with elbows). For layer
feed and any feed other than commercial feed or poultry and pigs, the maximum running times are considerably
shorter !
7. Useoftheslidevalve:

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Switch off the main switch first.
Use personal protective equipment.
DANGER
ACTIONS IN GREY BACKGROUND MUST BE DONE BY A TECHNICALLY TRAINED PERSON.
PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Transport system
does not run. No supply voltage. Check fuses and/or reset circuit breakers. Check
cut-off-switches and current lead to the house. Re-
pair if necessary.
Defective level switch. Check correct installation of the level switch. Find
cause of possible feed bridging in control unit.
Check level switch and replace if necessary.
Defective safety switch in control
unit. Check operation of safety switch. Replace if neces- sary.
Defective motor. Replace motor.
2. Motor overloads af-
ter running for a
short while.
Wrong motor. Check motor power. Replace motor if necessary.
Voltage too low (motor runs too
slowly and overheats). Check current supply to motor. Use wires with cor- rect diameter for the connection.
Foreign object in auger. Motor
runs, then stalls. ATTENTION ! Disconnect the auger carefully and
pull it out of the tubes. Remove the object. Clean
auger and tubes. Check fat content, percentage of
moisture etc... of the feed.
Motor runs in reverse (runs, then
stalls : no feed is conveyed). Disconnect power. Change wires. Motor shaft on the back of the motor must turn clockwise. Check
the auger for damages.
Motor overheats. Replace motor.
NOTE :NEVER SET THERMAL-MAGNETIC PROTECTION HIGHER THAN THE VALUE MENTIONED ON THE
MOTOR LABEL !
3. Motor runs, but au-
ger does not turn. Broken bolt or worn-out set screw
in drive shaft. Replace bolt or set screw.
4. Auger wears holes
in straight tubes. Augerkinkedorpoorlybrazed. See instructions.
5. Elbows wear out. Auger too short or too long. Adjust auger length. Install an extension boot if
necessary.
6. Auger runs errati-
cally. Boot bearing jammed or worn out. Replace bearing.
Auger too long. Shorten auger. Close all outlets. Remove bearing
and anchor. Disconnect auger. Let system run for
a short while. Cut auger at rear end of boot. Rein-
stall.
Poorsuspensionofthetubesor too
many elbows. Provide more suspension points. Adjust height. Decrease number of elbows.
Kinked and/or poorly brazed auger
scrapes along the tubes. See auger brazing.
7. Transport system
short cycles contin-
ually.
- Level switch not installed on
the right spot in 100kg hopper.
- Sensor in tube.
- Adjust level switch position.
- Use a sensor VC11 or VC12 if necessary.
8. Feed bridging in ex-
tension boot. Not enough feed drop from last out-
let before the extension boot. Provide 100 % feed drop.
Time set too short on relay. See instructions.
9. Second part (past
the extension boot)
does not start.
Defective level switch on first part. Check operation of level switch. Replace if neces-
sary.

DANGER
ATTENTION : Contact ROXELL for professional advice when using following feeds:
CCM (Corn Cob Mix).
Feed mixed with CCM.
Soya.
Soya lumps.
Wet feed.
Without explicite authorization, all our warranties will expire and no claims will be accepted.

FLEX-AUGER MIX: HOW TO CALIBRATE THE SYSTEM ?
FIGURE 1.
Feed II
Bin II
Feed I
Bin I
First of all make sure that all Flex-Augers are ready for use.
- Let the Flex-Augers run during some minutes.
- The tubes must be completely filled and the slide of the
transfer assembly must be completely open.
Outlet 125
1. CAPACITY OF FLEX-AUGER I
- Open the outlet just after the mixing point.
- Put a sack or a wheel barrow under the drop tube of that outlet.
- PuttheFlex-AugerswitchonpositionI.
- Let Flex-Auger I run during 20 seconds and weigh the feed in the sack or the wheel barrow (= ”X” kg).
- Capacity of Flex-Auger I = ”X” kg x 180 = .. kg/hour.
REPEAT THE 2 PRECEDING STEPS TO CHECK YOUR FIRST MEASURING.
2. CAPACITY OF FLEX-AUGER II IN FUNCTION OF THE FREQUENCY
- Take the grey drop of Flex-Auger II out of the Flex-Auger Mix feed intake boot.
- Useadroptubetoletthefeedflowintoasackorwheelbarrow.

- Put the frequency switch on position 2 (= 20 Hz).
=20Hz.
- Put the Flex-Auger switch on position II and let Flex-Auger II run during 20 seconds.
- Weigh the feed in the sack or wheel barrow (= ”Xa” kg).
- Capacity of Flex-Auger II with frequency 20 Hz = ”Xa” kg x 180 = .. kg/hour.
- REPEAT THE 2 PRECEDING STEPS TO CHECK YOUR FIRST MEASURING.
- Follow the same procedure with the frequency switch on positions 4 (40 Hz = ”Xb” kg) and 6 (60 Hz = ”Xc”
kg).
- Capacity of Flex-Auger II with frequency 40 Hz = ”Xb” kg x 180 = .. kg/hour.
- Capacity of Flex-Auger II with frequency 60 Hz = ”Xc” kg x 180 = .. kg/hour.
= 40Hz. = 60Hz.

Position 0 = STOP
Position 1 = % = Capacity II - p1
Position 2 = % = Capacity II - p2
Position 3 = % = Capacity II - p3
Position 4 = % = Capacity II - p4
Position 5 = % = Capacity II - p5
Position 6 = % = Capacity II - p6
Position 7 = % = Capacity II - p7 X(%)xCap I

Capacity I = 2500 kg/hour
Cap II - p1 = 5 x 2500
100 −5= 131kg/hour
4. DETERMINE THE CORRECT FREQUENCIES
Use the graph Capacity FA II in function of the frequency.

5. HOW TO PROGRAM THIS ON THE FREQUENCY REGULATOR ?
You must program the following parameters :
P1001 = F1
P1002 = F2
P1003 = F3
P1004 = F4
P1005 = F5
P1006 = F6
P1007 = F7
First press the Pbutton.
Go to parameter P1001 with 
Press P
Change the value with and (value = frequency, for example 12 Hz)
Press Pto confirm that value.
Go to parameter P1002 with 
Repeat the above steps.
Same procedure for the other parameters P1003, P1004, P1006 and P1007.
