Appled Weighing Ltd - Applied Weighing Ltd Auger Filling Machine

• Filling dry powders and granular products into bags, bottles, or containers.
• Portioning spices, coffee, flour, or chemical powders in food and non-food industries.
• Accurately dispensing precise quantities of free-flowing or non-free-flowing materials.
• Packaging pharmaceutical powders and nutraceuticals requiring high dosing accuracy.

Typical filling range

Typically from a few grams up to several kilograms, depending on the auger size and product density.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for the motor.

Accuracy

For this class of equipment, accuracy is generally within +/- 0.5% to 2% by weight, product dependent.

Throughput

Typically capable of 10-30 fills per minute, varying with fill weight, product characteristics, and operator interaction.

Material contact parts

Commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

Units of this type typically require a floor area of approximately 1m x 1.5m for the main machine, plus space for the control box and operator access.

• What types of products can an auger filler handle?

  Auger fillers are versatile and can handle a wide range of dry products, including fine powders (e.g., flour, cocoa), granular materials (e.g., sugar, coffee grounds), and even some sticky or cohesive powders.

• Is this machine suitable for food production?

• How is the fill weight adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for an auger filling machine?

• Can this machine be integrated into an existing production line?

Filling machines remain sought-after on the secondhand market due to their durability and long operational lifespan. Buyers typically value models from established manufacturers known for robust construction. When purchasing used units, inspectors should verify seal integrity, calibration accuracy, and maintenance history, as these directly affect product consistency and line efficiency. Common strengths include straightforward mechanical design facilitating repairs and adaptability to different container sizes. Reliability and minimal downtime are frequently cited priorities among processors seeking cost-effective production solutions.
