3800/4800 Auger Fillers Enhance Dry Filling Efficiency
Achieve accurate, repeatable filling cycles while virtually eliminating maintenance with Spee-Dee® 3800/4800 Series auger fillers.
The Spee-Dee 3800/4800 Series servo auger fillers improve accuracy and productivity on dry product filling lines. The innovative servo direct-drive design gives you a smooth, repeatable filling cycle for free-flowing granular and non-free-flowing powder substances. Its intelligent design couples the motor directly to the auger shaft. This eliminates more than 30 wear parts found in traditional clutch/brake and other auger filling systems, helping to reduce maintenance, downtime and spare parts.
The exclusive sliding key tooling lock enables tool-less changeovers. In order to prevent contamination, the design captures the pin if it ever shears during production, ensuring that the product remains food-safe.
Ideal for baking mixes, spices, drink mixes, coffee and other powdered products, the 3800/4800 auger fillers can fill packages of various formats such as pillow bags, stand-up pouches, rigid containers and single-serve cups. It can be integrated with primary packaging equipment such as rotary, VFFS, HFFS and in-line conveyors.
Versatile Auger Fillers for Various Products
3800 Servo Auger
Our most versatile powder filler provides a multitude of options and configurations to ensure precise power fills.
3800 with Epoxy Coating
Designed to handle caustic products like pool chemicals, which tend to degrade bare stainless steel.
4800 Servo Auger
The ideal choice for VFFS applications. Runs larger fills or more challenging products which require a higher torque motor. 20-gallon hoppers and vacuum tooling are available.
Ultra-Hygienic Auger
Designed to meet rigorous hygiene standards of regulatory agencies. Ideal for infant formula, dairy or nutraceutical powders and other applications with demanding sanitation standards.
Ultra-Hygienic Washdown Auger
Angled surfaces, a sloping shroud and a dome-shaped hopper cover allow fluids to drain away from the machine easily to prevent product contamination from outside sources.
Auger Features
3800/4800 augers have various features that help eliminate waste, optimize production and increase uptime, while additional options provide flexibility for your application.
3800/4800 auger fillers provide accurate fills while offering the flexibility of changeovers. A few of the main features of 3800/4800 augers include:
- A servo drive that accelerates to your chosen speed to ensure smooth filling cycle
- Memory for 50 product profiles by name or code
- A billet hopper cover, quick disconnect hopper clamps and removable hopper gasket ensure sanitary operating conditions
- The ability to adjust revolutions, auger or agitator speed while in operation
The 4800 series is used for high torque applications. These can be:
- Fill sizes over 5 lbs.
- Applications of varying fill sizes, such as baking mixes, can have dust and drip challenges that require a vacuum tooling option. Vacuum tooling can eliminate dust and drip resulting in higher speeds and clean seals in a bagging application.
