Auger Alignment
How to Align Your Auger Filler for Smoother Operation and Less Wear
If the auger isn’t aligned correctly, it can grind against the funnel, which is connected to the bottom of the hopper, causing damage to both the auger and other parts of your machine. To keep your machine running efficiently, it’s essential to check the alignment of your auger once a week.
In this guide, we will walk you through the key components involved in this process.
Key Components of the Auger Filler Machine
Before we dive into the alignment process, let’s familiarize ourselves with the three main components you’ll be working with:
Auger Shaft
The auger slides up into the auger shaft, which holds it in place during operation.
Hopper & Funnel Coupling
This coupling secures the hopper and funnel in place. Adjusting the screws on this coupling is necessary to properly align the auger.
Thumb Bolts
These bolts hold the hopper and funnel in place and are critical during the alignment process.
Step-by-Step Guide to Aligning Your Auger
Aligning the auger can be done with the hopper on or off, but it’s generally easier to perform this task with the hopper off.
Auger Alignment Tool
You’ll need an auger alignment tool, which consists of an alignment hub and an alignment rod. The hub replaces the funnel and ensures the auger is evenly spaced, while the rod acts as a stand-in for the auger during the alignment process.
Step 1: Remove the Funnel and Auger
Start by removing the lip funnel and auger if you have a non free flow filling machine. For free flow fillers remove the auger, funnel, collector funnel, spinner plate, and left-handed nut.
Step 2: Insert the Alignment Hub
Place the alignment hub into the bottom of the hopper and funnel coupling, securing it with the bottom three thumb bolts, just as you would with the funnel.
Step 3: Insert the Alignment Rod
Insert the alignment rod into the bottom of the hub, pushing it up through the hub and into the auger shaft. If the rod smoothly enters the auger shaft, your alignment is correct. If not, you’ll need to adjust the hopper and funnel coupling.
Step 4: Adjust the Coupling
To adjust, loosen the coupling bolts on the backside top of the coupling. Move the coupling horizontally until the alignment rod fits smoothly into the auger shaft. Once aligned, replace the alignment hub and rod with the actual auger and funnel.
Important Notes on Maintenance
The two bolts on the back of the coupling should only be adjusted during the alignment process. Once the auger is aligned, these bolts should remain untouched as long as the auger is in alignment.When cleaning the hopper, avoid loosening the vertical coupling bolts to prevent misalignment. The horizontal bolt is the only one that needs to be removed. The L-Bracket has self-aligning pins which keep the auger correctly aligned.
Regular Maintenance
Regularly checking and aligning your auger is a simple yet vital maintenance step that can save you from significant wear and tear on your auger filler machine. By following these steps and using the proper tools, you’ll ensure your machine runs smoothly and efficiently, reducing downtime and repair costs.
