#PartQtyWhat it does
1 Feed Auger 1× Screw conveying product from the surge hopper into the weigh hopper; speed sets the bulk and dribble fill rates.
2 Auger Motor 1× Servo or VFD-driven gearmotor turning the feed auger, slowing to dribble near target weight.
3 Feed Gate 1× Fast-acting gate that cuts product flow sharply at target weight to control the cutoff point.
4 Hopper Agitator 1× Slow paddle in the surge hopper preventing bridging of cohesive product over the auger inlet.
5 Ball Bearing 2× Deep-groove radial ball bearing.
