The Spee-Dee Packaging Machinery Vacuum Tooling option for augers provides a clean cut-off of product with no drips when filling — and it does so with no moving parts. Vacuum Tooling works by using a dual funnel system that combines a screen and vacuum to instantly stop the flow of product between fills. The filler’s auger fits inside a central funnel, which has a multi-layer screen at the bottom. This all fits inside the outer vacuum funnel. When vacuum pressure is engaged, air is drawn through the filter to densify the powder. This vacuum action holds the product inside the tube and stops the flow of product. And with no moving parts, there is nothing to break, which means lower maintenance, increased up time and potentially higher fill rates.
