Auger Filler Controls
The Spee-Dee® Digitronic® Auger Filler utilizes PLC controls, rather than proprietary PC controls, to provide customers with a very easy machine to both operate and maintain. Should a problem arise, all components are commercially available worldwide.

Allen-Bradley Controls
Many customers request specific control packages for their systems. Often the preferred brand is Allen-Bradley. Spee-Dee® has developed a complete line of augers using Allen-Bradley based PLCs, operator interfaces, amplifiers and other components.

These systems offer all the advantages and features of the standard Spee-Dee auger, but with the specific control package desired by each plant. Available in MicroLogix, SLC Series Compactlogix or ControlLogix platforms. Operator interfaces are selected from the Allen-Bradley PanelView line.

Custom Designed Control Systems
Specific design requests that require other components, various communication requirements and interfaces with other machinery on the line are welcome. The strength of the Spee-Dee design team is the ability to work closely with our customers’ engineers to develop custom designed equipment that meets their needs.

Main Control Panel Displays:

Auger operating parameters
Number of revolutions
Auger speed
Acceleration rate
Name of the current product
Fill time of the last fill
Status of the agitator
All other screens are easily accessible by a simple touch of the menu at the bottom of the screen.

Agitator Menu
Controls the mode and the speed of the agitator.

Ten different speeds are available.
Three modes may be selected, including: Off, On, and Off After.
Off After will allow the agitator to run for a preset time (selectable by the operator). If another fill is not completed within that time period, the agitator will stop and avoid damaging the product with constant agitation.

Diagnostics Screen
Provides quick access and information on the state of the filling process and the I/O’s. Very convenient for set up and installation.

Product Memory Menu
Allows products to be selected and saved using alphanumeric characters, enabling the operator to input the name of the product rather than a set of confusing codes or numbers.

Fifty product recipes can be stored in a standard machine.
Upgrade to 100 product recipe capacity is available.
Any changes made to the current product may also be saved to memory from this screen.
