The Model 230 Auger packer uses a load cell scale weighing unit. It is important to make certain that the load cell and components being suspended are free from side friction.
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. 230 Series Auger Packer 14 OF 115...
Connect the weighing system’s load cell cable per the electrical schematic. NOTE: To avoid the effects of electrical noise on the weighing system, avoid routing load cell cables near any high voltage source. 230 Series Auger Packer 16 OF 115...
All gear reducers are sealed. They are factory sealed to ensure proper operating temperature and prolonged life. Check air pressure at all regulators and set per the pneumatic schematic. (OPTIONAL) Fill all the air lubricator reservoirs if equipped. All cylinders and solenoids don’t require lubrication). 230 Series Auger Packer 17 OF 115...
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION An auger feed assembly is the main feature of the Model 230 Auger Packer. The auger housing receives bulk product from a surge bin and supplies a steady stream into the bag utilizing a flighted auger screw.
If machine is equipped with a bulk only feature the auger will never go into a slow speed. It will continue at the fast speed all the way thru the entire filling cycle. 230 Series Auger Packer 20 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.
Since the air cannot escape past the seals, it slowly bleeds into the auger barrel. This creates a positive pressure into the auger barrel, therefore preventing the escape of product. (Regulator should be set at 2-3 PSI) 230 Series Auger Packer 23 OF 115...
In addition to the drive motor, motor starter and weight controller, a variety of limit switches, proximity switches, etc. may be used throughout the system to control various functions as required. 230 Series Auger Packer 25 OF 115...

The CBE 230 is an automatic packer. The operator is required to put an empty bag on the filling spout and press the Start push button after the empty bag is in place. The Start, Stop and E-Stop Push Button enclosure is located on the front of the packer.
On the air purge stuffing box, there are controls. There is a pilot valve and a regulator. The regulated pressure should be 0-5 PSI. If excessive air is used you will fluidize your product and you may have a hard time getting it into the bag. 230 Series Auger Packer 29 OF 115...
When the auger is aligned, put the bearings back together Re-install all belts Re-tighten motor Adjust the position of the filling tube cutoff assembly so that it is centered around the auger with equal clearance on all sides. 230 Series Auger Packer 30 OF 115...
Settling during the Bulk Cycle only – In this mode the controller has to have bulk and dribble feature. When the bulk set point (setpoint 1) is reached the settler will stop and drop down. 230 Series Auger Packer 31 OF 115...
These measurements must be done before starting up the plant. It is also compulsory to use suitable devices for personal protection and train operators as specified by L.D. 626. 230 Series Auger Packer 32 OF 115...
Do not mix different types of grease even if they have similar features. An excessive amount of grease may overheat the bearings and thus damage them. 230 Series Auger Packer 33 OF 115...
