FAQs:

Auger Controller (SS-AUG-01):
What is an auger controller used for in filling machines?

An auger controller is used to control the operation of auger-based filling machines, ensuring
precise dispensing of powders and granular materials through controlled screw rotation.

How does the SS-AUG-01 control the auger filling process?

The controller manages the auger clutch and brake using time-based or encoder-based
control, allowing accurate control over the quantity of material dispensed.

Can this auger controller work with manual and automatic systems?

Yes, it supports both manual operation (via foot switch) and automatic operation (via timer or
PLC integration), making it suitable for flexible production setups.

What type of materials can be handled using an auger controller?

It is ideal for powders and fine granular materials such as flour, spices, chemicals, and other
bulk solids used in packaging and processing industries.

Why is clutch-brake control important in auger filling machines?

Clutch-brake control ensures precise start and stop of the auger screw, minimizing
overfilling, improving accuracy, and maintaining consistent product weight.

How to connect encoder to this controller?

An optical encoder or a slot sensor can be interfaced to this controller using just 3-wires of
supply, ground and signal. The controller will count the number of pulses coming from this
sensor when the auger motor rotates
