The Spee-Dee sanitary washdown auger filler prevents product corruption from sources outside the unit; all mechanical connections and potential catch points are located outside the product contact area. The filler has angled surfaces, a sloping shroud and a dome-shaped hopper cover to drain fluids away from the machine. The unit can be washed down with FDA-approved cleaning agents at a water temperature of 160°F and water pressure up to 250psi.
