Range Overview

Dependent on your product, packaging, and the possibility to upgrade to full automation in the future, your powder filling machine will use a volumetric or weigh cell system to fill your container.

Semi-automatic volumetric machines are equipped with an auger or screw feeder that accurately measures and dispenses a precise amount of powder into the receptacle. The dispenser is driven by a motor that rotates it at a constant speed, while a control system regulates the amount of powder dispensed by adjusting the speed and duration of the auger rotations.

Alternatively, with a weigh cell, the packaging sits on a weighing platform whilst being filled, once the desired weight is reached, the filling stops.

Due to the semi-automatic configuration, an employee may need to manually load the containers into the machine, adjust the filling amount, and start and stop the filling process. Additionally, the auger or screw feeder that dispenses the product is usually operated by a foot pedal or is hand-switch operated by the employee.

This machine boasts a 60-litre hopper capacity with a manual or an automatic infeed chute connected to a gravity hopper or a screw conveyor. The level of product is controlled by a level probe to give reliable and accurate dose weights.

When used with rigid containers, the containers are usually capped manually afterwards, however, with flexible packaging a semi-automatic sealing machine is often required.

Benefits of Semi-Automatic Powder Filling Machines

The main benefit of semi-automatic powder filling machines is the increased production rates. These machines can accurately fill containers much faster than manually possible without risk to reliability, in fact, with increased reliability. In addition, semi-automatic machines are generally less expensive than fully automatic versions to run and buy and volumetric models can be upgraded to fully automatic at a later date.

Being able to fill containers efficiently helps manufacturers meet high demands and reduce lead times. Where manual filling will struggle with narrow openings, these machines can be adapted with chutes fit for your product and packaging. These machines can reduce hefty costs such as labour, wastage and giveaway.

Worker health can also be improved by these machines due to the reduction of dust production. The contamination prevention characteristics can both prevent staff from breathing in harmful substances, and create a processing line ideal for food and drink as well as pharmaceuticals and chemicals.

The use of these machines requires little training and with tool-free maintenance and quick release parts, it is easy to clean.
