The Stationary Auger System is basically a vertically oriented section of the screw method which rotates within a particular pipe. The bottom section will have a wear resistant cutting tip that helps the subject get loosened and can be collected in that cylindrical hollow section and sampled. The materials then travel up the Auger Spool until the desired quantity gets collected. If the full auger increment has to be collected, the material will be discharged from spool to the desired bin. If the auger increment is to be split, the material passes from the top of the Auger tube and through a fixed splitter where the rejection portion falls back into the truck or rail wagon.

Once the Auger increment is collected in the Spool, it is manoeuvred to a sample bin. There could be multiple bins for the collection of designated samples which can be sent for further subsequent sample processing with the help of primary conveyor, primary crusher for size reduction and may be, for secondary conveying with further crushing with rejection handling and sample packaging in a small quantity for laboratory processing.
