2 HP Motor for Belt Drive Rigid Auger System
Keep a belt-driven feed auger operating efficiently with this 2 HP electric motor designed for 6-inch rigid auger systems. With 1,750 RPM operation, 115/230-volt capability, and a 25-foot maximum auger length, this motor provides dependable power for moving grain and feed through a rigid auger system.
An electric auger motor eliminates much of the manual labor associated with moving feed through an auger. Instead of manually turning or handling feed through the system, the motor provides continuous mechanical power to rotate the auger and move material through the tube. This makes it a practical choice for livestock and agricultural feeding operations where feed needs to be transferred regularly.
Designed for 6-Inch Rigid Auger Systems
This 2 HP motor is designed for use with 6-inch rigid auger systems with a maximum recommended length of 25 feet. The motor drives the auger through a belt-drive arrangement, providing consistent rotational power for moving grain and feed from one location to another.
The motor operates at 1,750 RPM and can be configured for either 115-volt or 230-volt operation. This voltage flexibility can make it easier to match the motor to the available electrical service at the installation location.

Benefits of an Electric Motor-Driven Auger
Electric-powered augers provide a practical way to automate the movement of feed and grain. Once properly installed and connected to the auger system, the motor supplies the rotational power needed to move material without requiring an operator to manually power the auger.
- Provides consistent mechanical power for feed and grain movement
- Reduces the physical labor required to operate an auger
- Allows feed to be transferred more efficiently between locations
- Provides continuous operation while the auger is running
- Helps simplify routine feed handling
- 115/230-volt operation provides electrical installation flexibility
- Suitable for 6-inch rigid auger systems up to 25 feet long
Labor and Operational Efficiency
Moving feed manually can require considerable time and physical effort, particularly when feed must be transferred repeatedly throughout a livestock operation. A motor-driven auger automates the mechanical work of moving the material, allowing operators to spend less time physically handling feed.
For routine feeding operations, this can make the overall process more efficient. An electric motor provides the power needed to operate the auger while the operator focuses on monitoring the system, managing feed levels, and completing other livestock chores.
The result is a more convenient feed-handling system that can reduce repetitive manual work and make regular grain or feed transfer easier to manage.
Built for Continuous-Duty Operation
This motor is designed for 40°C ambient, continuous-duty operation. It features Class F insulation, a manual-reset thermal overload protector, and a fully gasketed steel conduit box. These features are suited to equipment that may be used regularly in demanding agricultural environments.
The motor also uses double-shielded bearings with low-temperature grease, with the shaft-end bearing designed to be regreasable. Removable condensation drains are included for vertical mounting applications.

Feed Auger Motor for Livestock and Agricultural Operations
A powered feed auger can simplify the movement of grain and feed in livestock operations by transferring material through the auger system mechanically. This is especially useful when feed must be moved from a storage or bulk-feed location to another point in the feeding system.
The 2 HP motor provides the power required for compatible 6-inch rigid auger applications while the belt-drive configuration allows the motor to drive the auger through the appropriate pulley and belt arrangement.
Important Installation Considerations
Before installing this motor, verify that your existing auger system is compatible with a 2 HP motor and is within the recommended 6-inch diameter and 25-foot maximum length specifications. Electrical connections should be completed by a qualified person and configured for the available 115-volt or 230-volt electrical service.
Proper motor, pulley, belt, and auger selection is important for reliable operation. Follow the installation requirements for the complete auger system and verify that all components are correctly aligned and secured before operating the equipment.
2 HP Electric Auger Motor
For operations using a 6-inch rigid auger system, this 2 HP electric motor provides a dependable source of mechanical power for routine feed and grain handling. Its continuous-duty design, 115/230-volt capability, 1,750 RPM speed, and 25-foot maximum auger application make it well suited for agricultural feed transfer systems.
Replacing a worn or failed auger motor can help restore an existing feed-handling system and reduce the downtime associated with manual feed movement. For new installations, the motor provides the power source needed to operate a compatible belt-driven rigid auger system.
