Auger Fillers

We offer a range of Auger Fillers to suit most applications.Deposits from less than 1g -50kg. Anti trickle options. Volumetric and Gravimetric.

Auger fillers are commonly used to dose powders and free flowing granular products. Their are 2 main types, Volumetric and Gravimetric (or loss in weight).

Both use a precise screw and tube which will deliver a specific volume based on rotations. A volumetric auger combines this with an encoder to quickly and accurately deliver a portion. Our volumetric auger fillers come complete with a feed back scale, this allows the operator to periodically place a pack on the scale, the PLC will take feedback from the scale and adjust the auger to maintain accurate weights even if the product density fluctuates. A gravimetric or loss in weight auger from our range can be use volumetrically as well. In gravimetric mode it checks the weight delivered by having the entire hopper mounted on a load cell. The down sides of this are you can not portion while the hopper is being feed / topped up and the process is slower as time is needed for the machine to check the loss in weight.
