General
The Guttridge Augaflo is a high quality, special purpose cross feed Archimedean Screw Auger. It is designed primarily as a screw feeder for feeding bulk materials to Auger Filling machines, but its tubular screw construction makes it ideally suited to many general purpose screw conveyor and screw feeder applications. By electrically linking the Augaflo to a level probe in an Auger Filling machine hopper a more consistent level of material can be automatically maintained in the hopper. With most product types this will usually lead to improved fill accuracy with consequential cost savings.
Specification
The Augaflo is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, a unique quick release clamping system connects the outer screw tubes, whilst slip-fit joints connect the screw auger sections. The system is robust and ideal for frequent wet or dry cleaning regimes, essential in today's modern factories. Inlet hoppers and special outlets allow a variety of configurations making the Augaflo a very versatile machine. Manufactured with contact parts in 316 stainless steel.
