Benefits of Cup Fillers VS Auger Fillers
A vast majority of the time, packaging applications dictate the type of filling machine that is needed to properly handle the project. However, sometimes the machinery is chosen by supplier or end user based on preference. As is the case with the auger filler and rotary cup filler, some products can easily run on both fillers while other products are certainly better suited for an auger filler versus a cup fill or vice versa.
The cup filler is often times overlooked in favor of an auger filler. The general rule of thumb for a cup filler is that the product needs to be free flowing, granular and consistently shaped. Products like coffee beans, rice, kidney beans, sprinkles (jimmies), some hard candies, etc. are perfect for filling with a cup filler. Of course, some of those products would be great for an auger filler; however the products previously mentioned can be filled faster and often times more accurate with a cup filler.
If rate of fill is your main priority, look no further than the cup filler. The cup filler can cycle faster than an auger filler and the product exits quicker into the container.
Even though auger fillers and cup fillers can run shared products, the auger filler can run a wider range of products, and will perform relatively well in comparison to the cup filler. If the product has any non-free-flowing characteristics or if it is dusty at all, the auger filler is absolutely the way to go.
The cup filler can be sold as a stand alone semi-automatic unit, on top of a vertical/horizontal bagger or pouch machine, and also sold as part of an inline or automatic rotary system.
