This is a factory auger that came from eshland, designed to move pea coal for our boilers.

I thought you bought someones AHS auger system. Eshland became AHS decades ago. Is your auger that old?

Yes it is, it was originally on a eshland 500.

LR42492

But when I search it I only found a used 60 rpm setup that would be to fast.

A quick eBay search found this

Your best bet is to ask whoever your buying the flex auger from. But I would think it would be the same size as the auger.

So u have to find 4” ID pipe.

If the auger is a tad less than 4" in diameter, it would be best to search for 4" ID pipe. A 4" auger and 4" ID pipe seems like a recipe for jamming. Your pipe should have a smidgen more ID than the measured diameter of the auger.

Don't tell them you're wanting to move coal...tell them "Ya got hogs to feed".
When they come to realize that you are ready to send them a payment for goods they will have a whole new interest in talking to you...but until then you only have us.

If it is any help to you Ron, get a 3-1/2" flex-auger and put that into a 4" PVC pipe...easy-peasey ...this is only Pea Coal.

Have you looked at using the 3 inch black ADS coiled tubing with no drainage holes?
All you would need is a PVC pipe funnel and the large enough blower to make it work.

I like a blower idea, but with smooth pipe at least...13/16"-9/16" granular media thru a corrugated pipe...not pretty.
