What happens here
Inside the hopper, beneath the grate, the narrator points out the auger mechanism. This auger is a helical screw conveyor responsible for continuously moving the salt from the bulk storage area within the hopper towards the rear discharge chute. Its rotation ensures a steady and controlled flow of salt.
Goal: Identify the auger and its function in moving salt within the spreader.
