How to Set the Correct Distance from the Spinner Plate to the Funnel for Accurate Filling

Setting the correct distance between the spinner plate and the bottom of the funnel is crucial for ensuring accurate fills in free-flow machines.

Follow these steps to adjust the spinner plate:

Steps:

1. Loosen the auger shaft bolt by reaching into the hopper.

2. Adjust the spinner plate by pulling the auger shaft up or down until the spinner plate forms a 45-degree angle with the bottom of the funnel (known as the angle of repose).

This is what the spinner plate should look like at a 45 degree angle.

This is too high.

This is too low.

3. Once the correct angle is set, tighten the auger shaft bolt.

Why 45 Degrees?

The 45-degree angle is essential for accurate filling. If the angle is off, your servo motor auger filler won't deliver the precision it’s designed for.
