Central Boiler / Re: M250
« on: December 15, 2016, 09:17:21 PM »
I have some pictures that may help explain it better.
Here you see the auger tube from the grain bin to the hopper on the Maxim
Here is the auger end inside the hopper of the maxim. In the box on the end of the auger is the switch that turns the auger off when the hopper is full. The switch we purchased from Central Boiler parts, it is the same switch that they use on their auger systems from their auxiliary hopper. We use the CB switch to control a solenoid/relay that actually controls the auger.
This is a better look at that switch.
The timer allows the auger to run twice a day, otherwise the paddle switch would start the auger and it would only take a few seconds to fill the hopper to turn off the switch. I didn't think that was good for the auger motor, so I added the timer in front of the switch. As far as underfill, so far it hasn't been an issue. If it was, i would just change the timer to have the auger run 3 times a day.
This is my webpage with a complete description of the system I have.

Central Boiler / Re: M250

To fill the hopper on my M255, i also have an bulk bin with a auger into the Maxim. I bought the switch that Central sells for their auger kits from my central dealer and mounted it on the end of the auger in the hopper. Then I added a 24hr timer that I plugged the whole auger system into that I programmed to only allow the auger to run twice a day. So instead of running for a few seconds every hour, it runs for 5 minutes twice a day. I will add some pictures this weekend.

Central Boiler / Re: Pics of my install as I go

How have you liked the half wall you put in the boiler? I am thinking about trying it on my 6048. The same thing happens to me when my Dad loads the boiler. I also think that it would probably increase the heat transfer.
Thanks
