Combination filling systems use two or more fillers to fill multiple ingredients into a single container. They come in a variety of designs to meet the wide range of multi-component products. Spee-Dee Packaging Machinery offers several combination fillers to meet various production needs and line configurations. Servo motors are incorporated to give optimal control while maintaining a reduced mounting profile. A single electrical cabinet houses the PLC-based electrical system. A single operator interface touch-screen controls the machine. Both fillers are secured to a single mounting platform for integration on the automatic bag making equipment. 1. Cup and Auger: Used to fill products that contain a particulate and a powder; ideal for soup mixes, stuffing mixes, rice and spice meals, beans and spice meals, and dessert mixes. 2. Auger and Auger: Used to fill two powdered products into one container; can be timed to fill simultaneously for a blended mix or sequentially to let one ingredient rest on top; ideal for applications with a powdered premix and a powdered main ingredient, like instant potatoes. 3. Cup/Auger/Cup: Used to fill one powder and two particulate products in one container; ideal for instant oatmeal packs or cups, including oats, a powdered premix, and dried fruit. 4. Auger or Cup/Combination Scale: A separate auger of cup filler is used to add a single ingredient into another product that is being filled using a combination scale; ideal for adding a seasoning to a crouton product, adding an expensive candy to a trail mix, or adding nuts to a cereal where the main line needs to be protected from a potential allergen (like peanuts and tree nuts).
