Experimental equipment was developed for conducting research on telescopic screw conveyors, with the help of which a study of this conveyor was carried out according to the developed techniques. To determine the influence of the structural and kinematic parameters of the telescopic screw conveyor on the power consumption of the auger drive during the transportation of corn, wheat and animal feed conducting full-factor experiments. It was determined the amount of power consumption on the auger drive of the telescopic screw conveyor from a change in three main factors: the frequency of rotation of the screw, the length of the elongation of the screw and the angle of inclination of the conveyor. Equations of regression of power consumption are derived depending on changes in the frequency of rotation of the screw, the length of the elongation of the screw, the angle of the conveyor. The results of experimental studies of the amount of power consumption when overloaded with a telescopic screw conveyor showed that the main factors affecting the increase in torque on the drive, the rotational speed of the screw and its elongation length, as well as a combination of these factors.
