Allfill SHA15 Auger Filler

• Accurate volumetric filling of powders and granular products into bags, pouches, bottles, and containers.
• Packaging of food products such as flour, spices, coffee, sugar, and baking mixes.
• Filling of non-food items including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
• Integration into automated packaging lines for continuous production.
• Dosing of ingredients in batch processing operations.

Typical capacity

Auger fillers of this class typically handle fill weights from a few grams up to 25kg or more, depending on the auger tooling and product density.

Power supply

Units like the Allfill SHA15 commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, for robust operation.

Material construction

For food processing applications, stainless steel construction is standard for product contact parts and often for the main frame, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Hopper size

This unit features a 75kg hopper; for this class, hopper sizes typically range from 20kg to over 100kg, influencing refill frequency.

Filling mechanism

Auger fillers use a rotating screw to dispense product; variable speed control is common, allowing for precise dosing and continuous or intermittent operation.

Control system

Modern auger fillers, especially those refurbished recently, commonly feature touchscreen controls for setting fill parameters and managing operations.

Ancillary features

Level detection in the hopper and foot pedal operation are common features for semi-automatic or integrated line use, enhancing control and efficiency.
