Abstract
A self-loading auger for a material mixer includes a shaft having two sections of flighting extending from each end towards the center of the shaft. Mounted along the flighting sections are a plurality of knife blades disposed perpendicular to the axis of the shaft so that as the shaft rotates and the flighting pushes material towards the center of the auger, the knife blades will cut the material along a straight line. Additional knife blades are mounted near the center of the auger between the points where the two flighting sections end.
