Semi Automatic Auger Powder Filling Machine

Product overview

Powder filling becomes difficult when the required dose changes frequently or when product density affects the quantity discharged during each cycle. A controlled auger system addresses this by measuring the product through a defined number of auger revolutions rather than relying on uncontrolled gravity flow.

The Semi Automatic Auger Powder Filling Machine uses this servo-controlled auger principle for moderate production requirements. It is intended for powders, dry powders, micro-granules and compatible free-flowing materials packed into bottles, jars and pouches.

Technogen Enterprise is a Manufacturer and Supplier of Semi Automatic Auger Powder Filling Machine equipment for Tanzania, providing a compact filling solution where manual container handling is acceptable but controlled powder dosing is required.

The filling assembly consists principally of a hopper, servo-driven auger screw and funnel. The servo motor operates through a servo drive and PLC, while the HMI provides the operator interface. Product quantity is metered by controlling the rotation of the auger screw.

The machine handles fill quantities from 5 grams to 1000 grams and can achieve approximately 20–25 bottles per minute, depending upon fill volume and powder density. Filling accuracy is stated at approximately ±1–2%, subject to powder characteristics and application conditions.

All powder-contact components are manufactured from AISI 316L Stainless Steel. A No Bottle–No Fill system helps avoid powder discharge when no container is present.

Its compact construction and castor wheels make the machine particularly practical for Tanzania manufacturers handling multiple small or medium powder batches where production flexibility is more important than a fully automatic conveyor line.

Working principle

• Powder is loaded into the machine hopper.
• The product moves towards the auger screw positioned above the filling funnel.
• When a container is correctly positioned below the filling point, the machine initiates the dosing cycle.
• The servo motor rotates the auger screw through the programmed number of revolutions.
• Because the amount of powder discharged is related to auger rotation, the PLC and servo drive control the dosing operation.
• The measured powder passes through the funnel and into the bottle, jar or pouch.
• A No Bottle–No Fill control prevents unnecessary powder discharge when a container is absent.
• After filling, the operator removes the container and positions the next one for the subsequent cycle.
• Machine operating speed can be adjusted through the Variable Frequency Drive.

Applications & industries

The Semi Automatic Auger Powder Filling Machine is intended for moderate-output operations requiring controlled dosing of compatible powders and fine-grained products.

Typical filling applications include:

• Dry powders.
• Free-flowing powders.
• Micro-granules.
• Powder filling into bottles.
• Powder filling into jars.
• Powder filling into pouches.

The 5 gram to 1 kilogram dosing range provides flexibility where different pack sizes are produced on the same equipment.

For Tanzania businesses moving from manual powder filling towards controlled machine dosing, the semi-automatic configuration provides servo-based metering without requiring a complete automatic bottle-handling system.

Application items

• Dry powder filling.
• Free-flowing powder filling.
• Micro-granule filling.
• Bottle powder filling.
• Jar powder filling.
• Pouch powder filling.
• Small and medium batch powder filling.
• 5 gram powder filling.
• 1 kilogram powder filling.
• Servo auger dosing.
