Advantages Of Auger Fillers

Advantages of Auger Fillers

Auger fillers are the machines of choice for all dry products that have consistency of granule size and powders. In some cases auger filling equipment can be used as a depositor for moist products such as cooked rice and pastes. The biggest advantage of auger filling machinery is that the systems are relatively closed making auger fillers the ideal choice for very fine powders such as talcs, flour, and baking soda which tend to get airborne with other systems. Auger fillers are also capable of relatively high fill rates compared with net weight fillers and take up less floor space.

Advantages of Auger Fillers

Fast, oftentimes usually at least 2-3 times faster than a single head net weight filler

Relatively dust free, even on very fine powders that tend to get airborne easily. This is because auger fillers can be made so they are virtually closed off from the atmosphere, even during the dispense cycle.

Can run free flowing powders as well as many less than free flowing products, so long as the product is consistent.

Easy to integrate into a wide variety of packaging applications such as form and fill machines or applications for cans, bottles or boxes.

Large range of filling capacity without need for change parts

Very cost effective solution
