Rotary auger filler

Spee-Dee® Packaging’s Rotary Auger Filler is designed to accurately fill products such as spices, non-dairy creamers, coffee and cornstarch, into a variety of rigid containers at rates of 100 to 400 units/min.
The servo-driven design facilitates easy phasing of timing screws, turret stars, and auger filler electronically. The system stores turret/timing screw position when the unit is shut down and automatically re-homes after an e-stop condition when the system is restarted. Servo technology also promotes enhanced performance of the unit’s No Container/No Fill feature enabling the auger to stop more quickly. Continuous check weigh feedback facilitates automatic adjustments to improve fill accuracy rates.
