af-593e fill-to-weight auger fillers
TRANSCRIPT
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 componentsto determine an accurate weight reading before, dur-ing, and after each fill cycle. Accessories, such as BagClamps, Roller Conveyors, and Lifts are implementedaccording to specific requirements and constraints. So-phisticated feedback/feedforward controls allow for fillvalue adjustment, error correction, and accept/rejecttolerance control.Our PLC-based control system computes all relevantparameters (such as RPM acceleration, deceleration)internally, so the operator does not have to make cal-culations or complex entries. An intuitive touchscreenputs essential functions at the users’ fingertips. Test andcalibration screens simplify maintenance. Set-ups forproducts/fill weights are easily stored and recalled.
Accessories and OptionsContainer Vibrator:Adjustable speed, container joggerto 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 productat 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 dualstrand, stainless steel block conveyor chain. Variablespeed drive, adjustable guiderails, and indexing controls.Fill Drive Option: Either Servomotor or traditionalClutch/Brake drive systems available. Clutch/Brakedrive suitable for most applications. Servomotors use-ful in achieving high production rates and wider speedrange. Servomotors available in 105-250 in. lb. torqueratings.Documentation: Complete package supplied as stan-dardFilling Accessories & Tooling: Interchangeable fillingaccessories can always be retrofitted to the machine asproducts and requirements change. All-Fill maintains acomplete test lab for conducting free evaluations ofproducts, containers, and filling performance.
PerformanceAccuracy 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, fillweights, 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.
