Application notes
Expected performance by product.
Snack mix / nuts
10-head weigher pairing
Expect 80–95% of nameplate speed depending on piece-size variance.
Coffee · beans / ground
Gas flush + valve
Gas flush with residual O₂ <2%; one-way valve for off-gassing.
Frozen goods · IQF
Cold-room-rated option
Sealed bearings, dew-point enclosure, upgraded film roller.
Sticky powder · protein / instant coffee
Agitated auger required
Expect derate to 70–80% of nameplate.
Abrasive · kibble / granules
Hardened filler cups
Accelerated roller wear — include in spare parts list.
Sugar / rice / free-flowing
Volumetric cup filler
Closest to nameplate speed on ideal-flow products.
