Steel isn't always second rate. As long as an auger has the protection of Lundell Plastics' UHMW wearshoes, it's ok by us. Our wearshoes will outlast steel 2 to 1. You can still bring many of the benefits of plastic flighting to your steel auger. The Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene(UHMWPE) is pre-formed to fit onto new or worn steel auger flighting, thus extending the life of any auger.UHMW Wearshoes are easy to install thanks to pre-drilled holes and poly-capped bolts.it's easy to give your worn out auger a high-tech facelift.UHMW poly provides a slick surface for grain to flow freely and prevents build-up. plus the lower friction coefficient of UHMW reduces power consumption. this will reduce strain on drive components and increase your harvesting rate.
