WEIGHMETRIC POWDER FILLING MACHINE(AUGUR FILLER) MODEL: AFAE250

INTRODUCTION

Powder filling machines come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, filling principles and degrees of technical sophistication in response to the ever-widening diversity of powder filling applications around. Weigh metric Powder filling machine is specially designed to get high accuracy outputs of powder in a limited time and thereby increase the production.

Any free flowing material, or comparatively free flowing material like flour, spice powder chemical powder, toner powder, talcum, and other pharma and chemical powders can be weighed and filled very accurately by this machine. Accuracy of weigh metric filler is very much high comparing to volumetric fillers and gravity fillers. Here you get +/- 1% accuracy in each filling. Speed of filling is also high. 250 gms of powder can be filled in 4 sec.in AFAE250 Model.

The principle of the vertical auger powder filling machine is very simple. The basic filling head comprises five primary components:

1. Hopper containing the powder to be dosed

2. Augur or screw rotating vertically through the hopper.

3. Funnel or tube outlet to hopper through which the lower parallel part of the auger doses.

4. Auger drive.

5. Agitation blade to assist powder feed into the flights of the auger (with drive)

STRUCTURE AND WORKING:

Weigh metric Powder filler is made strong and vibration free by its specially designed frame structure. Structure is made from Mild steel Rectangular Pipe sections fabricated with good finish to a special shape to accommodate drive unit, hopper and related parts. A drive motor and a clutch brake assembly is driving the unit. A safety cover is provided to this assembly to protect and to avoid dust to settle. A main driven shaft is connected to the drive shaft via a Bearing housing which holds and rotate freely when the machine is operated. A stirrer blade is provided separately on a shaft which is operated independently over the driven shaft. The driven shaft is holding an accurately machined stainless steel AUGUR which performs the filling inside a pipe like section.

The lower parallel flights of the auger within the funnel are machined to a constant pitch so that, when filled, each pitch has a precise volume. The auger drive rotates the auger at constant speed to produce a continuous dosing flow. The agitation blade, generally separately driven and controlled, rotates in the opposite direction to the auger breaking any bridge that tends to form in non-free flowing powders. The agitation blade extends right down to the throat of the funnel preventing rat-holing and cavitation and ensuring that the flights are fully filled. The start/stop signals to the auger drive, control the pre-set weight in Weigh metric fillers.
