The auger motor is unfamiliar to many, as most people are more likely to have heard of AC motors, DC motors, brushless motors, and so on. This is because the auger motor is named for its function—primarily driving the operation of a screw mechanism to achieve material feeding.
This article primarily introduces the internal structure, application scenarios, pricing, and procurement methods of the auger motor. Fengtech possesses decades of experience in auger motor production, making us a trustworthy partner.
What is an Auger Motor?
Simply put, its core function is to provide rotational torque, driving a large spiral auger blade to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of pushing, conveying, and drilling materials.
Auger motor workflow:
1.Start the motor
2.Drive the output shaft
3.The output shaft drives the screw auger blade
4.Achieves transportation or mixing functions
(Taking the auger motor in a snow blower as an example)
Auger Motor Structure
A conventional auger motor primarily consists of a motor, output shaft, reduction gears, housing, and lubricant.
Motor: Drives the entire assembly and operates the gears.
Output Shaft: An output shaft compatible with the auger assembly. When the motor runs, it drives the output shaft to rotate, thereby activating the rotating mechanism.
Housing: Typically an aluminum housing, offering strong corrosion resistance and light weight. Holes are drilled around the housing perimeter to facilitate installation in various equipment.
Lubricant: Reduces friction and extends service life.

Applications of Auger Motors
Auger motors have the following most common applications:
1. Pellet stoves (including pellet smokers and pellet burners)
Function: Connects to the feed mechanism within pellet stoves, reliably conveying biomass pellets to the burner.
2. Pizza warmers
Function: Drives the rotating mechanism inside pizza warmers, ensuring even heating of pizzas within the unit to maintain temperature.
3. Slush machines
Function: Drives the mixing mechanism within the slush machine. After cooling the juice in the container via the chiller, the mixing mechanism transforms the ice inside into a fine slush.
4. Rotisserie (Skewer Motor, Turkish Kebab Motor)
Function: Used in outdoor pork or lamb rotisseries, this auger motor drives a metal rod to rotate ingredients, ensuring even heating. The same principle applies to Turkish kebabs.
5. Popcorn Machine
Function: Similar to a pellet stove, the popcorn machine uniformly feeds corn kernels into the heating element, producing more delicious popcorn.
How Much Does an Auger Motor Cost?
On retail websites, an auger motor typically costs around $20–25 USD. If you need to repair or replace one, you can select a model with suitable specifications for purchase.
For bulk purchases, the price is generally $10–15 USD.
How Do I Find an Auger Motor Manufacturer?
If your project involves bulk purchases of Auger motors, finding a manufacturer is essential. Here are a few suggestions:
✖ Intermediaries: Higher prices, no customization options, and communication difficulties.
✖ Lack of production experience: Limited experience can lead to many unforeseen issues during subsequent project collaborations.
✖ Irregular production processes: Lack of a well-established production line can easily lead to product damage.
✖ Lack of a product design team: Customized production is impossible, resulting in limitations.
