FINDING YOUR PERFECT (AUGER TOOLING) MATCH
At AMS Filling Systems, we will ask you lots of questions about your product, processes, equipment and goals. We will run your answers through our sophisticated algorithm (i.e. our years of filling experience and deep industry knowledge) to develop the perfect solution for your filling needs.
You might ask, “Why does having the right Auger Tooling size matter?” At AMS, we’d be quick to answer, “So you have less waste, whether that is in overfill and spillage of your product. You’d have less production downtime, due to slower production runs and increased clean-up needs, all resulting in inflated operational costs that ultimately reduce your margins. Further, having the right Auger Tooling size decreases the amount of employee overtime, each and every day.”
When considering your AMS Auger Tooling, there are three key factors to take into consideration:
The type of material you are producing and packing, the size of your packing material and its subsequent ID opening, and the weight of the final packed container.
MATERIAL
Material to be packed is categorized in one of two ways: Free flowing, which can be granular items like sugar or salt, do exactly that – flow freely. Non-free flowing material, which are generally products such as powders or flours, tend to resist a smooth flow.
PACKING MATERIAL
Matching the Auger Tooling to the size of the container’s ID opening diameter is paramount for efficient production. The ideal size matches the inside diameter of the container or bag (not too large, causing spillage, and not too small, causing a slowdown in production).
MATERIAL WEIGHT
The right Auger Tooling size will create the optimum balance of speed and accuracy to ensure your final packed container is the proper weight as determined by your standard (for example, the product label indicates 8oz., you want to guarantee there are 8oz. within the final – never under!). Again, if the tooling is too large, there is a risk of overfill and if the tooling is too small, production time is delayed.
