How Does An Auger Filler Work?

Auger fillers, as the name suggests, are a type of filling equipment based on auger metering. Auger fillers are the machine of choice for all fine powders or any product that has consistent size particulates such as talcum powders, flour, cake mixes and more. Auger powder-filling and dispensing equipment consists of a main hopper, stirring bar to keep the auger fed (even on powders that are not free flowing), and an auger that fits in a closeley fit cylinder. So long as the auger flights can be consistently fed, these machines can be extremely accurate. Since auger powder fillers are volumetric they do not actually weigh the product, except in cases where mated directly to a scale, but depend on accurate revolution counts of the auger (VKPAK's Auger Fillers are equipped with an in-line weighing and feedback system).
