Ayash Engineering’s retrofit kit for a dual-auger (AMF ADD and similar dough dividers) is a comprehensive solution that includes the following components:
- Single stainless steel auger.
- Stainless steel hopper with a capacity of 150 pounds.
- Nylon tunnel.
- Transition block.
- 2 HP gear motor.
- Mounting angles and necessary hardware.
- The retrofit kit replaces two UHMW augers with a single stainless steel auger.
- Unlike the AMF divider, which requires a special gearbox to transfer rotation from the drive gear motor to both augers, Ayash Engineering’s retrofit kit doesn’t require such a gearbox.
- The AMF divider uses a 25 HP gear motor to drive the augers, whereas Ayash Engineering’s retrofit kit uses a 2 HP auger gear motor.
- The AMF divider requires a sophisticated, powerful vacuum system to feed the augers, while Ayash Engineering’s retrofit kit uses gravity, eliminating the need for vacuum parts.
- The AMF divider uses timing belts and pulleys to drive the augers, while Ayash Engineering’s retrofit kit uses a rigid chain coupling, eliminating the need for belts, sprockets, chains, and pulleys.
- Possible downtime due to the many moving parts is much higher for the AMF divider than for Ayash Engineering’s retrofit kit.
