- Typical dosing range
- For this class of equipment, dosing ranges commonly span from a few grams up to several kilograms, often adjustable via auger size and rotation control.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically operate on standard industrial power supplies, commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz in the UK.
- Materials of construction
- Contact parts are commonly made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Throughput
- Throughput rates vary significantly based on dose size, product characteristics, and integration with other machinery, but can range from 10 to over 60 fills per minute.
- Accuracy
- Auger fillers are known for their high dosing accuracy, typically ±0.5% to ±2% depending on the product and dose size.
- Hopper capacity
- Hoppers typically range from 20 to 100 litres, with larger capacities available for continuous operation or bulk feeding.
- Footprint
- The footprint for standalone units is typically compact, often around 1m x 1m, though integrated systems will require more space.
