Helical screw auger designed for accurate talc powder dosing in olive oil processing systems.
The Auger for Talc Dispenser C16 is a mechanical screw conveyor component used in Dosificadores talc dosing machines. It transports talc powder from the hopper through the dosing tube and into the olive paste processing line in a controlled and continuous flow.
This auger regulates the powder feeding rate according to the rotation speed of the drive motor, ensuring precise and consistent talc dosing during operation.

| Product Name | Auger for Talc Dispenser C16 |
| Part Number | GB01A |
| Machine Model | C16 / CT-16 Talc Dispenser |
| Manufacturer | Dosificadores |
| Component Type | Auger screw feeder |
| Material | Food-grade stainless steel |
| Application | Talc powder dosing in olive oil processing |
| Category | Powder dosing / screw conveyor component |
The auger rotates inside the dosing tube and moves talc powder forward from the hopper to the discharge outlet. This motion enables controlled and consistent dosing of powder into the processing line.
The auger consists of a central shaft with a continuous spiral flight (helical blade) welded along its length. When driven by the motor or gearbox of the dosing machine, the rotating spiral moves powder through the tube in a steady flow.
This auger is installed inside the screw tube of the talc dispenser and connects to the drive shaft or gearbox motor that powers the dosing system.
Talc:?is a hydrated calcium magnesium silicate, a naturally occurring inert mineral product, which is milled to different microns.
Talc is normally used when moisture contents are high in your olive fruit or maturation points are swaying towards overripe (i.e. later in the season). Talc helps aid in proper malaxation during these types of conditions. ?Talc can absorb up to 10-15 times its weight in water.
When the olive paste is unable to mix properly this does not encourage the enzyme release and hence the oil is locked/bound up in the cells and is exited from the machine with the waste. ?Talc used in these exacerbated conditions can extract up to an extra 5%.
Talc also aids to minimise emulsion (oil combining with water) during malaxation.
Tips for use:
Using a very fine (normally under 2 micron) grade of Talc you may find some floating problems on the paste occur. ?In order to avoid this, you must monitor wherein the malaxing tank that you are applying this product. ?You may consider moving the application spot to a better-suited position.
A fine grade talc (normally 2.5 - 4%) also means that you do not need to use as much and cuts down on the amount you need to store as you achieve more efficient use.
Also, using finer grades of talc means that you may be able to cut your usage on average from 1-2% down to as low as 0.3% - 0.7%.
Various forms of Talc are available. ?However, not all are efficient for use. ?You need to make sure that the talc is coming from a trusted source and does not contain heavy metals. ?Some talcs are bleached and may contain chloride.
Talc is expelled with the waste paste.
You have only one shot this season, so why not try something new & effective!

Some weeks ago a decision was made by Sibelco to close their Talc processing plants Australia-wide.
This decision has had implications for the Australian Olive Oil Industry whereby the sheer volume of talc has not been attainable and currently in short supply this season.
Currently, there are very minimal quantities left that we can access for this harvest.
We have minimal reserves of talc for olive oil processing emergencies.
If you are having problems with processing during this processing season and need talc immediately, please call our office on 07 4696 9845 or email amanda@theolivecentre.com.au?
