the auger.
SOLENOIDS / PNEUMATICS
All pneumatic components (air valves & cylinders) are self-lubricating and additional lubricated air is not
required. If lubricated air is used then lubricated air must be used for the life of all the cylinders.
It is recommended that the main high pressure airline supplying the packer be a min size of ½”. Connect
this high-pressure airline to the regulator found on the back side of thee packer. If there are multiple
units, it is recommended to have separate lines feeding each packer. Operating pressure should be 80PSI
It is recommended that an additional water trap (not supplied with machine) be installed up stream of
the packer in the high-pressure airline and the packer. This is to ensure clean dry air is coming to the
machine at all times. We have recommended that the water trap have a self-draining tap.
Any optional equipment ordered when the packer is in the field will be shipped with controls, hose and
fittings. These will need to be installed in the field according to the pneumatic schematic provided. If the
machine was ordered from the factory with option equipment, this will already be done. There is room
for only one addition optional feature to be added in the field at a later date.
Connect all air hoses which were disconnected for shipment. All hoses and related fittings are
correspondingly color coded and size related for ease of re-assembly. All hoses on the packer are: white
for start and black for stop.
Install any attachments which have been shipped loose or separate from the packer. The connection
between the packer inlet the mating supply hopper should be made using a soft flexible connection to
minimize the transmission of vibration.
NOTE: Auger Packers are relatively trouble free as far as basis operation stands. Problems may occur
with the controller or electrical system. If problems occur do not hesitate to call us for information at
(512) 352-3694.
SUPPLY BIN CONNECTIONS
It is recommended that you connect the packer to the supply hopper or surge bin with a rubber
connector. This will minimize or eliminate any vibrations coming from the bin that may influence the
weight.
These collars and bands are available from Choice Bagging Equipment; however they are not supplied
with the equipment. If you would like to order, you may reach our parts department at 512-352-3694.
