Will an auger dispenser work just as well if I have some extra space between the auger and the feeding tube? Grain will be dispensed on a scale so it doesn't need to be consistent since the scale does the measuring. Drew the picture to illustrate.

The bigger the space, the more inefficient it will be, but with grain it would work even if you had as much space as the auger itself is. If you make it too accurate a fit, it'll probably grind against the walls.

Product will move, just not as efficiently.

In a good grain auger there is a very very small gap, a cm or less.

But i have seen some that have a large gap for moving hay and bulkier crops.


With too big of a gap you wont move anything.
