COLLAR TYPE AUGER FILLER MACHINE: Seamless Precision for Powder & Granular Packaging

The COLLAR TYPE AUGER FILLER MACHINE is a sophisticated, integrated packaging solution designed for precise and efficient filling of a wide range of powder and granular products. Combining the volumetric accuracy of an auger filler with the seamless bag-forming capabilities of a Vertical Form-Fill-Seal (VFFS) system, this machine offers unparalleled performance for businesses seeking automated, high-speed packaging.

Overview

This advanced machine is ideal for industries requiring meticulous dosing and hygienic packaging of free-flowing and non-free-flowing powders, as well as fine granular products. The "collar type" designation refers to the integral bag former that shapes flat film into a continuous tube, which is then filled by the auger and sealed, creating perfectly formed and filled pouches.

Key Features & Highlights

• Integrated Form-Fill-Seal (VFFS) Technology: Utilizes a film roll, forming collar, and sealing jaws to automatically create, fill, and seal bags in a continuous, high-speed operation.
• High-Precision Auger Dosing: Equipped with a servo-driven auger, ensuring highly accurate and consistent volumetric filling, minimizing product giveaway and maximizing profitability.
• Versatile Product Handling: Designed to handle a broad spectrum of products, from fine, dusty powders (e.g., flour, talc) to granular materials (e.g., sugar, spices, coffee grounds).
• Robust & Hygienic Construction: Manufactured with high-quality Stainless Steel 304 (or SS316 upon request) for all product contact parts, ensuring food-grade hygiene, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning.
• User-Friendly HMI & PLC Control: Features an intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI) with a touchscreen display and a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for easy setup, recipe management, and real-time monitoring of packaging parameters.
• Quick Changeover & Adjustability: Designed for efficient changeovers between different bag sizes and products, with adjustable bag former, auger speeds, and fill weights.
• Reliable Sealing System: Advanced heat-sealing technology ensures strong, airtight seals (back seal, top seal, bottom seal) for various laminated and heat-sealable film materials.
• Film Tracking & Correction: Automatic film tension control and photoelectric eye tracking system ensure precise bag registration and minimize film waste.

How It Works

1. Film Unwinding: A roll of packaging film is unwound from the machine's spindle.
2. Film Forming: The film passes over a "collar" or former, shaping it into a tube. A vertical sealing bar then creates the back seal of the bag.
3. Product Dosing: Simultaneously, the precise auger filler (located above the formed tube) dispenses the exact predetermined amount of product into the bag.
4. Bag Sealing & Cutting: Horizontal sealing jaws create the top seal of the filled bag and the bottom seal of the next bag, before cutting the filled bag free from the film web.
5. Output: The finished, sealed bags are discharged from the machine, ready for further handling (e.g., secondary packaging, conveying).

Ideal Applications

Perfect for packaging a diverse range of products including:

• Food & Beverage: Flour, coffee powder, instant mixes, spices, sugar, salt, milk powder, protein powder, baking soda, cocoa, tea, dehydrated vegetables.
• Pharmaceuticals: Granulated medicines, pharmaceutical powders, vitamin mixes.
• Chemicals: Detergents, pesticides, fertilizers, chemical additives, pigments.
• Cosmetics: Talcum powder, cosmetic pigments, face masks.
• Other: Pet food, desiccant, potting soil additives.
