Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput typically ranges from 10 to 60 fills per minute, depending on product density, fill volume, and operator interaction.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a single-phase 230V, 50Hz electrical supply is typical, though some larger or more automated versions may require three-phase.

Fill volume range

Auger fillers typically offer a wide fill volume range, often from a few grams up to several kilograms, adjustable via auger revolutions and size.

Accuracy

Volumetric auger fillers generally achieve filling accuracies of ±1-3% for consistent products.

Materials of construction

Product contact parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to meet hygiene standards.

Footprint

A compact footprint is common for standalone units, typically requiring a floor area of approximately 1m x 1m, plus space for product hoppers and discharge.
