    摘要: A syringe filling system includes a syringe, a powder source, a funnel, a rotatable auger, and a motor. The syringe has a dispensing end and a barrel chamber. The funnel is configured to hold powder from the powder source. The rotatable auger is positioned within the funnel and is configured to transport powder from the funnel through the dispensing end of the syringe to fill the barrel chamber of the syringe with a predetermined quantity of powder. Additionally, the motor is configured to rotate the auger to cause powder to be transported from the funnel to the syringe.

    摘要: A system and method for adding smokable material into cone is provided. One embodiment receives input at a user input device from a user that specifies an amount of the smokable material that is to be dispensed by the auger load system into an empty cone; determines, at a cone filler control system, a determined duration based on the user specified amount of smokable material received in at user input device; communicates a control signal from the cone filler control system; and operates an auger drive motor to rotate an auger for the determined duration in response to the control signal so that a helical screw blade of the auger dispenses the user specified amount of smokable material out from a lower portion of a hopper containing the smokable material into an empty cone.
