Fill-To-Weight Auger Fillers are used when a specific, verified, weighed quantity of product is to be dis- pensed. Models include scales and loadcell components to determine an accurate weight reading before, dur- ing, and after each fill cycle. Accessories, such as Bag Clamps, Roller Conveyors, and Lifts are implemented according to specific requirements and constraints. So- phisticated feedback/feedforward controls allow for fill value adjustment, error correction, and accept/reject tolerance control. Our PLC-based control system computes all relevant parameters (such as RPM acceleration, deceleration) internally, so the operator does not have to make cal- culations or complex entries. An intuitive touchscreen puts essential functions at the users’ fingertips. Test and calibration screens simplify maintenance. Set-ups for products/fill weights are easily stored and recalled. Accessories and Options Container Vibrator: Adjustable speed, container jogger to settle and distribute product into containers. Pneumatic or Hydraulic Container Lift: Raises/low- ers containers for accurate “bottom-Up” filling. Product Cutoff: For clean, no-drip control of product at conclusion of fill cycle. Flapper Gate, Piston Draw- Back, Plug Rod, Diaphragm, and other models available. Container Clamp: Secures container during filling. Conveyors: Stainless steel conveyor channel with dual strand, stainless steel block conveyor chain.Variable speed drive, adjustable guiderails, and indexing controls. Fill Drive Option: Either Servomotor or traditional Clutch/Brake drive systems available. Clutch/Brake drive suitable for most applications. Servomotors use- ful in achieving high production rates and wider speed range. Servomotors available in 105-250 in. lb. torque ratings. Documentation: Complete package supplied as stan- dard Filling Accessories & Tooling: Interchangeable filling accessories can always be retrofitted to the machine as products and requirements change. All-Fill maintains a complete test lab for conducting free evaluations of products, containers, and filling performance. Performance Accuracy Ranging from ±0.1% to ±0.5% maintained for most products. Production Semi-automatic and Automatic speeds from 2-35 per minute (varies with products, fill weights, and containers).

Bulk & DribbleSpecifies filling & weighing in a two-stage fillcycle where the greater portion of product isdispensed, weighed, then filled again to a de-sired target weight. After the second, dribble,fill, the container is weighed again and catego-rized as “Acceptable”, “Underweight”, or“Overweight.”Applications— High Accuracy, Low Produc-tion Rates, Consistent Product DensityBulk & Dribble Parameters

● Fill Type (Bulk and Dribble)● Target Weight● Low & High Tolerance● Set Bulk Percent● Initial Auger Revolutions● Maximum Auger Revolutions● Fill Delay ● Auto. Tare Rate● Scale Tare Delay● Delay After Bulk● Final Weigh Delay

Fill Types & AppilicationsSetpoint Specifies filling & weighing in a single stage fillwhere product is dispensed as it approachesa user-defined target weight. Product weighedat the end of filled and categorized as “Ac-ceptable”, “Underweight”, or “Overweight.”Applications— Moderate Accuracy/ModerateProduction Rates (higher than Bulk & Drib-ble). Used with product that changes density.Setpoint Fill Parameters

● Fill Type (Setpoint Fill)● Target Weight● Low & High Tolerance● Bulk Auger Revolutions● Preact Weight● Read Final Weight● Maximum Fill Time● Auto. Tare Rate ● Scale Tare Delay● Delay After Bulk● Final Weigh Delay

VolumetricSpecifies filling only. No weighing occurs.Product is dispensed for a user-specifiednumber of auger revolutions. Bypasses load-cell in cases of failure/malfunction.Applications — Moderate Accuracy, dependingon product density. High production rates. Al-lows production to continue with loadcellfailures or malfunctions.Volumetric Parameters

New Features

Customized Integration with Product Infeed SystemsUser defined Level Control signaling dfor easy resupply ofproduct. Both Pulse and Continous signals supported. Pulsemode includes user-defined pulse mode on/off times.

Record Tooling and Accessories with each ProgramDocument augers, funnels, agitators and other acces-sories within each Setup Program. Avoids errors andimproper filling when machine used for different prod-ucts or different product characteristics.

Simplified Calibration and Weight VerificationEasy front panel adjustment of calibration values withoutcomponent level tuning or access. Convenient 4-Stepprocess adjusts scale with actual weight values.

Full Screen Production DataAll relevant production, weight, and Batch data presented on sin-gle screens to quickly summarize production and performance.
