Abstract: An auger conveyer having an elongated auger shaft with closely spaced spirally wound bristles having their base ends affixed to the shaft and having the bristle tips extending outwardly from the shaft. A tubular housing extends from the input end of the spiral to the output end. The shaft is mounted for rotation about the shaft axis and when rotated conveys particles, such as grain, from the input end to the output end. The first several spiral flights of bristles at the input end are filled with a plastic material to solidify the bristles and form a substantially solid spiral to inhibit particle expulsion which otherwise would be caused by the bristles.
