Project Review: Automatic Precision Weight Twin Auger Dry Product Packaging Line
FBW SQF-2A-15 (Sequential Fill) Series: Fill-By-Weight Systems
- The R-J Model SQF-2A-15 is a custom built packaging line designed to fill plastic jars with precisely 15 grams of high value or specialty products.
- SQF designates a Sequential Fill with a Bulk Fill & Fine Fill scaling sequence to enable the precise weight of product to be metered.
- Horizontal augers ensure a smooth transfer from the bulk hoppers to the container with minimal product degradation.
- The Bulk Fill auger is a larger diameter auger to handle
the larger volumes for faster filling.
- The Fine Fill auger will meter smaller volumes of product
to make up the precise weight.

TECHNICAL OVERVIEW: Precision Dry Product Filler SQF Sequential Fill
FBW-A Fill-By-Weight Twin Auger
R-J Model SQ-2BFA15 Sequential 2 stage auger filler for precise fill weights.
The fully automatic jar filling system is equipped as follows:
- 36” diameter Infeed Turntable to feed the jars into the lugs of the
8 ft long indexing jar transfer conveyor.
- The stainless steel lugged chain transfer conveyor will index the jars sequentially to the scale based Bulk Fill station & Fine Fill station to be filled to the specified target weight.
- The Bulk Fill hopper with a larger diameter horizontal auger will transfer the bulk weight of product directly into the jar through the nozzle assembly.
- The Fine Fill hopper for final fill weight top up is fitted with a smaller diameter horizontal auger to transfer the classified smaller volume of product to the scaling station.
- If the container is within the specified weight and no top up is required, the filled container will be indexed for transfer to secondary operations .
- If the container is overweight it will be indexed to the reject station and transferred off the conveyor onto an accumulating table for secondary operations.
- If the container is underweight the Fine Fill auger will start up to transfer the product into the jar to make up the specified target weight.
- A heavy duty square tube stainless steel frame with adjustable leveling pads for precise integration & alignment with the indexing conveyor.
- Hoppers, Augers, Pneumatic supply with Filter Regulator & Oiler, Solenoid valves & the Main Operator Control Panel are integrated together on the main frame.
- 2 Stainless steel rectangular Bulk & Fine Fill hoppers with lids & safety Interlocks. Removable horizontal cross augers are Triclamp mounted directly to the hoppers.
- Controls are mounted into a NEMA 4 dustproof enclosure with access to all major operating parameters.The main control panel will to be mounted on the main frame for easy access.
- Embedded controller will manage all of the sequencing & verification logic. HDMI with color touch screen & access for operation, verification & documentation.
- No Container – No Fill interlock circuits with container in place verification.
- Embedded scale indicator & precision Tedea Load cells with 1/10th gram scale resolution.
- Programmable variable speed controls for Bulk & Fine Fill augers to set the feed rates.
- The system is designed for ease of cleaning & sanitizing all the product contact parts.
- The stainless steel hoppers have accessible smooth easily cleaned surfaces.
- The auger & drive motor assemblies are easily accessed & disassembled for cleaning.
