Hello everyone! I'm planning to build auto-package system to package wheat-flour. So I have these 25kg wheat-flour: [bogasari_bogasari-segitiga-biru-tepung-terigu--25-kg-_full02] And I want to package it to plastic bag of 1kgs. My question is, what is the effective way to move these white flou…

Hey thank you for answering. I will do more research on this. Much appreciated.

There should be a stainless steel version available for this kind of application. The bag would probably sit on a scale to get to the proper weight, however, probably just counting the number of revolutions the auger makes would be close enough.

Flour will pack up the auger rather quickly. I would suggest a vibrating, inclined metal tube coming from the storage bin or whatever. Do not ever use compressed air as that will produce a explosive cloud of flour. Paul

Indeed, you need to keep tight control on how much flour dust gets into the air anyway as it is potentially explosive (as well as irritant).

exactly.
Hopper, auger, drop chute and stitch / seal.
