Abstract: An auger finger assembly. The assembly includes an excenter shaft configured to be mounted inside a rotatably driven tubular auger body and parallel and excentric to a central rotation axis of the auger body. The assembly further includes a plurality of auger fingers, each extending along a central longitudinal axis, and a plurality of finger holders mounted adjacent to each other on the excenter shaft along the direction of the rotation axis. Each of the plurality of finger holders includes an axial finger bearing at least partly enclosing the excenter shaft and a radial finger seat configured to hold a respective one of the plurality of auger fingers at an inward end. Along a direction of the rotation axis, the radial finger seat of each of the plurality of finger holders at least partly overlaps with the axial finger bearing of an adjacent one of the plurality of finger holders.
