Machine to produce twisted paper for loose fill packaging

A device for forming twisted paper for loose fill packaging comprising:

• a frame;
• a roll of paper;
• a material pathway operative to permit the paper to move from an upstream end to a downstream end of the device;
• an end plate located towards the upstream end of the device, the end plate having a hole, the paper passes through the hole formed in the end plate;
• and
• an auger assembly containing at least three augers carried by the frame, each of the at least three augers having an axis, wherein the at least three augers are rotatable about their axis, each auger includes a flight around the axis of the auger, the at least three augers are transversally separated apart so that the flights do not intermesh and create a space that defines a portion of the material pathway for the paper to move therethrough, and the at least three augers assist with the pulling of the paper along the material pathway, and the at least three augers assist with changing the shape of the paper from substantially flat shape to substantially cylindrical shape.
