Semi-Automatic Auger Fillers

ALL-FILL’s field-proven semiautomatic

fillers excel in a wide variety of

applications with virtually any type

product. Typical models consist of a

sturdy, cast aluminum head containing

the drive components and a stainless

steel column mounted on a rugged

aluminum column. Controls offered

include a variety of PLC-based

packages, which can include a

“keypad” or “touchscreen” operator

interface. ALL-FILL semiautomatic

models can be seamlessly integrated

with packaging equipment such as

Form-Fill-Seal, Cup Filling and

Thermoformers. They can also be used

for stand alone, benchtop filling.

Standard configurations can be easily

adapted to your individual

requirements.

Semi-Auto Fill-To-WeightAuger Fillers

Semi-automatic Fill-To-Weight

Auger Fillers are used when a

specific, verified, weighed

quantity of product is to be

dispensed. Models include

scales and loadcell components

to determine an accurate

weight reading before, during,

and after each fill cycle.

Accessories, such as Bag

Clamps, Roller Conveyors, and

Lifts are implemented according

to specific requirements and

constraints. Sophisticated

feedback/feedforward controls

allow for fill value adjustment,

error correction, and

accept/reject tolerance control.

Fill-By-Weight Control

Available Fill-By-Weight modes include:

Bulk & Dribble: Specifies filling &

weighing in a two-stage fill cycle where the

greater portion of product is dispensed,

weighed, then filled again to a desired

target weight. After the second, dribble-fill,

the container is weighed again and is

categorized as “Acceptable”,

“Underweight”, or “Overweight”.

Applications: High Accuracy, Low

Production Rates, Consistent Product

Density, Semi-Automatic operation requires

operator.

Setpoint: Specifies filling & weighing in a

single stage fill where product is dispensed

as its weight approaches a user-defined

target weight. Product weighed at the end

of fill and categorized as “Acceptable”,

“Underweight”, or “Overweight”.

®

Specification Summary

Applications: Moderate

Accuracy/Moderate Production Rates

(higher than Bulk & Dribble). Used with

product that changes density.

Semi-Automatic operation requires an

operator.

Fill By Time: Specifies filling only. No

weighing occurs. Product is dispensed for a

user-specified fill time. Bypasses loadcell

and encoder in cases of failure/malfunction.

Applications: Accuracy dependent on

product density. High production rates.

Capable of fully automatic operation without

operator intervention. Allows production to

continue with loadcell/encoder failures or

malfunctions.

Fill By Revolutions: Specifies filling only.

No weighing occurs. Product is dispensed

for a user-specified number of auger

revolutions. Bypasses loadcell in cases of

failure/malfunction.

Applications: Accuracy dependent on

product density. High production rates.

Capable of fully automatic operation without

operator intervention. Allows production to

continue with loadcell failures or

malfunctions.

Automatic Auger Fillers

ALL-FILL Automatic Auger Fillers

are designed for complete,

continuous container transport,

positioning, filling, and discharge

to the next stage in the

packaging process. Automatic

models combine a standard fill

head with an integral conveyor to

move containers. Indexing

system mounted on conveyor

regulates container movement

toward the filling position,

centers each container for filling,

then moves the container away.

Available in single or multiple

head configurations, automatic

models can be equipped with a

variety of accessories and

options to suit particular

container handling or product

characteristics.

High Speed Rotary Filling SystemsALL-FILL Rotary Fillers provide high throughput and speeds for even the most demanding

production environments. Rotary filling systems operate continuously with product dispensed into

funnels traveling on a circular, multi-position turret. Containers are transported to the turret by an

integral infeed conveyor. Timing screw and starwheel components space and position containers

into the turret. variable speed auger drives operate continuously to dispense product accurately.

Product weight is easily adjusted by the operator or from checkweigher feedback signals.

Production rates (c.p.m.) are adjusted by varying turret speeds.

Filling & Checkweighing SystemsThese adaptable combination systems allow filling accuracy and productivity to be enhanced while

avoiding the problems and incompatibilities encountered by joining filling and checkweighing

components from separate sources. weights detected by checkweighers in these models can be

used as feedback that adjusts amounts dispensed at the filler. These systems have proven to be

particularly useful in applications where a large number of products are used with a number of

different containers, such as contract packaging.

Model TA Twin Auger Fillers

ALL-FILL Model TA Twin Auger

Fillers are designed for high

speed/high volume dispensing

typically encountered in vertical

form-fill-seal, cup filling, or other

applications requiring dual position

filling. The standard Model TA

offering consists of dual fill motor

and drive assemblies and a high

capacity, stainless steel product

hopper mounted on a variable

length column with either a floor

base, or a 10” dia. round base for

direct mounting on other

equipment (e.g., form-fill-seal

machines). Your filling application

specifies each Model TA Unit.

Center distance between the two

augers can range from as little as

2” to well over 16”.

Vibratory Filler designs are

particularly well suited for products

that could become damaged when

filling with rotating auger

equipment and other types of

free-flowing products such as

whole bean coffee, small nuts, rice,

grains, confection items, and

others.

A matched pair of electromagnetic

vibrator and vibrating tray

transports the product to a weigh

bucket. A loadcell attached to the

weigh bucket determines

accumulating weight. When the

desired amount in attained, the

gate opens to dispense product

through the discharge funnel.
