DOUBLE AUGER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FILLING BAGS WITH SLURRY

摘要

A slurry product is packaged into a plastic bag using a modified form-fil l- seal apparatus and method of using it. The apparatus has preferably been modified to select the appropriate amount of product slurry by weight. Bags are filled using a dual auger system that includes a bulk auger and a precis ion auger that fill a bag simultaneously. The augers work together for a fir st period to rapidly load slurry into a large part of the bag. During a seco nd period, the bulk auger shuts down, allowing the precision auger alone to top-off the bags. The periods are determined either by time or by the volume or weight of the product that has entered the bag.
