Hey you mechanically inclined folk! Please help revise engineer this chocolate pump

Mfg wants $800 for a simple auger pump.

No *(^%## way I'm spending this much.

Put your brain and life experience to work, help me reverse engineer this, and I'll send you FREE chocolate goodies.

Auger must fit into size of pan shown in video. Farm grain augers won't work!

Thanks

Another factor, that even the unit above doesn't seem to handle [though commercial units do], is the temperature gradient within the transport [tube]. If you don't have a warming apparatus around your tube [or a thick enough tube to keep the melted chocolate near warmed], you're going to have the chocolate cooling inside the tube and stressing the augur and motor further.

If I were creating this from scratch, I'd at least work to minimize the height of the transport from the well of heated product to the dispensing point to minimize this effect. Maybe some sort of hot water collar on the tube as well.

I knew a couple of you old farts like me would get this spot on. The youngsters, not so much.

Honestly, the fountain idea doesn't seem half bad unless you for some reason need to keep the chocolate your working with in some other warmer.

Just replace the tube with the pans that covers the auger with a same size 304 stainless tube (probably about 1-9/16" ID), have someone weld some small pieces of pipe on one end for fastening similar to the tube you get with it, drill a hole on one end for a stainless spigot, and assemble. Just transfer your chocolate from your warmer to the fountain before working with it.

Otherwise you'd need the same shit, stainless tube, spigot, auger for a fountain, and a motor that runs in reverse (the fountain turns the auger the opposite way the one in the vid does). No idea what the specs for the motor would be. I'd imagine you could get a used fountain and tear it down and work off that.
