All-Fill: Tooling Guide
May 23rd, 2025A QUICK GUIDE TO UNIVERSAL TOOLING
Even though there are endless amounts of applications that use All-Fill's tooling, each one can be sorted into using one of three universal tooling types: Free-Flow, Non-Free-Flow, and Liquid. Here is a quick guide to how each type of universal tooling works!
FREE-FLOW TOOLING
For free-flowing products with low cohesion (such as salt, bread crumbs, or sand) typically require a straight auger, an agitator, a straight funnel, collector funnel, and a spinner plate. This combination of parts allows for an efficient meter of products onto the spinner plate, which keeps product passing evenly into a container or bag.
NON-FREE-FLOW TOOLING
Non-free-flowing products like flour, talcum powder, and baking mixes lend to clump together. They usually require a self-feeding auger, agitators, and a lip funnel. Occasionally, a drip wwasher may be required to prevent drip and help with the accuracy of dispensing the product.
LIQUID TOOLING
Viscous liquids like gels, oils, and creams require a specific pump for dispensing. These pumps are a combination of a pump shaft, pump rotor, stator, and pump housings. There are four sizes of pump available according to your specific application.
Our Tooling is universal, but it can also be built custom to your product's specifications. Get in touch with us to find out how to maximize your tooling efficiency.
