230 Series Auger Packer
22 OF 115
The CBE 230 Consists of the Following Assemblies:
MAIN FRAME ASSEMBLY
The main frame assembly consists of a rigid steel frame and a hinged motor base plate.
The motor base plate has threaded rod adjustment to allow for V-belt tensioning and the hinge side of the
motor base is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of motor sizes.
FRONT POST ASSEMBLY
The front post is the weighing mechanism on which the bag and product is supported during the filling
process. The front post is mounted to the main frame by one S-Type load cells and two spring steel
flexures. The load cell detects changes in the deflection and sends a varying low voltage signal to the
weight controller. The signal is then interpreted by the weight controller to determine when the desired
cut-off weight is reached.
AUGER SCREW DRIVE TUBE ASSEMBLY
The auger screw drive tube assembly unitizes the mounting of the auger support bearing to allow for
quick removal and re-installation of the auger without disturbing the placement of the bearings, sheaves
or drive belts. The delivery auger is supported by two self-centering flange bearings which can be
adjusted to provide proper auger alignment.
AUGER MOTOR
The delivery auger is powered by a 5 H.P. TEFC motor and the agitator is powered by a 1 HP TEFC
MOTOR.. This machine also features a plug reverse action of the auger at the end of each filling cycle. This
feature provides an immediate cut-off of product flow when the desired cut-off weight is reached and
withdraws excessive product from the spout to reduce spillage when the filled bag is removed. This
motor is specially designed to minimize heat generated during frequent start/stop/reverse duty cycles.
BELT DRIVE ASSEMBLY
The belt drive assembly consists of two v type belts and sheaves to transmit power from the auger motor
to the auger. These components were selected for their low rotational inertia, consistent with proper
power transmission from the motor to the auger. A variety of sheave combinations allows selection of
the optimum auger speed for the product being packed.
FEED SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
The feed system consists of; delivery auger, agitator and spout assembly. The auger delivers product
from the auger barrel housing, through the spout, and into the bag being filled. The agitator keeps the
