Final narrative
An employee was conducting maintenance work on an stainless steel auger feeder (flexible screw conveyor) in the seasoning room. The lower end of the feeder came loose from the hopper. The employee lifted the auger to position it when the auger feed initiated and energized the auger. His hands were pulled into the auger, resulting in hospitalization with a partial amputation of the right thumb.
