- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, typical filling weights range from a few grams up to several kilograms, depending on the auger size and product density.
- Power supply
- Commonly, units of this type operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements based on motor size.
- Throughput
- Throughput rates are highly variable, typically ranging from 10 to 60 fills per minute, influenced by fill weight, product characteristics, and container handling.
- Materials of construction
- Product contact parts are commonly manufactured from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L) to meet hygiene and corrosion resistance standards.
- Suitable feed sizes
- Auger fillers are suitable for fine powders, granules, and small particulate solids. The maximum particle size is limited by the auger and nozzle dimensions.
- Accuracy
- Units of this type typically offer filling accuracy within ±0.5% to ±3%, depending on the product consistency, fill weight, and control system sophistication.
