ABOUT OUR AUGERS

Speed And Efficiency With Elephants Foot’s Augers

Waste augers are efficient tools used in Australia for waste management and construction. Available in various sizes, hand-held augers are powered by electric motors for tasks like digging post holes. In contrast, larger tractor-mounted augers handle intensive jobs like drilling through asphalt and compacting materials. 

Auger compactors are designed to move and compress waste, including asphalt, soil, and trash, using a rotating helical blade to process materials efficiently in confined spaces.

Fast and Efficient

Auger compactors quickly dig holes, saving time, and are ideal for large projects with tight deadlines.

Accuracy and Consistency

Augers create precise, uniform holes and penetrate tough soils, ideal for landscaping and construction projects.

Cost-Effectiveness

A cost-effective and versatile solution, offering a budget-friendly alternative for various construction projects.

OUR MODELS

Reliable Equipment to Handle and Process Waste Materials

In waste management, augers are essential for moving loose materials like soil and for compacting and densifying materials such as asphalt, trash, and other waste products.

Stationary Augers

Our stationary auger compactor is specifically engineered to handle large volumes of dry waste, such as paper and cardboard. Ideal for retail and industrial sites, this waste management equipment offers a solution for efficient waste compaction tailored to your needs.

Integrated Auger

integrated waste auger saves time, labour, and space by enabling continuous waste loading, which can be tailored to specific site requirements.
HOW OUR AUGERS WORK

A Powerful Tool For Drilling, Boring, And Compacting Materials

Waste Loading
Waste is fed into the stationary auger system through a loading hopper or chute.
Crushing and Compaction
The augers, suspended in a trough, rotate and crush the waste, reducing its volume and forcing it into the compaction chamber.
Waste Movement
The crushed waste is conveyed into the compaction chamber, where it is compressed and compacted, ensuring efficient storage.
Disposal or Recycling
Once compacted, the waste can be collected or processed for recycling, minimising the need for frequent collection.

Auger Turning and Crushing
The auger rotates, crushing and compacting the waste as it moves through the system.
Compaction and Densification
The waste is compacted and densified, reducing its volume and preparing it for collection.
Discharge and Transport
The compacted waste is discharged into the collection container, ready for easy handling and transportation.
