  The Auger Filling Machine is a compact model used for filling all kinds of powder into bottles/cans/jars/Tins etc.

  An auger is a screw-shaped drill bit used to drill holes in materials. The term is also used for a helical material transporter, which moves material forward as it rotates. Spiral packing uses a helical screw to distribute material, hence the name.

  

  Products that can be filled with spiral fillers

  Screw filling machines can be used to fill containers for liquid, semi-solid, powder and granular materials. Products such as sugar, salt, detergents, spices, coffee, tea, pasta, cream or powder forms of food or cosmetics, ready-to-eat foods such as stews and liquids can be easily filled with these machines. With the right configuration, machines are capable of handling many different types of products: free-flowing, non-free-flowing, liquids, pastes and processed foods.

  Due to the nature of the material and the way the machine works, screw packing is not suitable for some materials. Some materials, such as tobacco, may wrap around the auger, while other delicate products, such as raw fruit, vegetables, and cornflakes, may be crushed during the filling process.

  Most products, especially those in the FMCG industry, must be packaged before leaving the factory. Packaging is more than just giving a product an attractive container. Each package must contain the correct amount of product. Filling machines such as screw fillers are designed to help pack products quickly and accurately.

  A screw filler is a machine that loads the right amount of product into its container. The product is stored in a container called a hopper, and in each cycle, the filling machine dispenses a predetermined amount of product into the pack. Packages, such as bottles, can be hand-held for manual filling, or queued for filling using a conveyor system for automatic filling.

  Auger Filling Machine important components

  The main subsystems of the screw filling system:

  1. Hopper: This is the container that holds the packaged material. Material is supplied to the tool from the hopper.

  2. Tooling: Tooling consists of those systems that can be changed to suit the requirements. Tooling depends on the type and application of filler material. Typically, it consists of an auger, agitator, funnel and other filling components.

  3. Drive assembly: This includes the motor, transmission and start/stop mechanism for precise filling. Machines with clutches and brakes or servos are available.

  4. Supporting structure: This is the structure on which the whole system stands.

  Multi-screw fillers are designed to dispense powders and viscous products quickly and accurately in multiple locations. Multiple spiral fillers can be used when the application requires the deposition of precise amounts of product across the line. Each system includes a universal filling drive system, independently controlled augers, a product hopper and a control system to individually control the distribution of each filling position, our machines can also provide high levels of performance in the most demanding production environments Yield and speed. The rotary screw filling system operates continuously, dispensing product into funnels that move on a circular multi-position turret. The variable speed screw drive operates continuously to accurately dispense product. If you have any questions please contact us.
