Machine range
Compare auger fillers by automation level and pack route.
Start by deciding whether you need a bench machine, a conveyor-fed filler, a bagging system or a full powder filling line. The right route depends on the product, pack, output target and available space.
- Manual and semi-automatic filling stations
- Automatic auger filling machines for rigid containers
- VFFS and pouch-filling auger routes
- Dry-product line planning around dosing and closing

Quick answers
Auger filler questions buyers ask before a quote.
What products are auger fillers best for?
Auger fillers are normally used for powders and some fine granules where controlled screw dosing gives a more suitable route than a pump, cup filler or basic gravity feed.
Can an auger filler be used for jars, bottles and pouches?
Yes, but the container handling and discharge setup changes. Rigid containers, premade pouches, VFFS bags and sachets all need different presentation and sealing arrangements.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Send the product name, sample behaviour, fill weight range, pack dimensions, target output, accuracy requirement, available space and any sealing, capping, labelling or coding steps.

Send the product, pack format, target fill weight and required output so Lancing can suggest the most suitable auger filler route.
Documented Lancing configurations
Compare verified auger filler model examples.
The figures below come from first-party Lancing project specifications. They show how model, tooling and test conditions are linked; they are not universal guarantees for every powder or pack.
| Model and route | Dose and hopper basis | Screw, tooling and controls | Accuracy test condition | Output basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lancing LU-FM750F Semi-automatic servo auger filler | Documented tooling bands of 5–50 g, 50–300 g, 300–1000 g and 1000–5000 g by auger change. Approx. 50 L hopper. Final selection depends on density, pack and trials. | Interchangeable auger, tube and filling-spout sets; internal motorised agitator in a documented 100 g–5 kg configuration; PLC touchscreen, foot-pedal operation and weighing-feedback interface. | Supplier reference measurement error ±1% in the documented configuration. Final result is subject to product, selected tooling, density, scale arrangement and agreed trial method. | Indicative operator-cycle rate of 1–8 fills/min, depending on fill weight, powder flow, pack handling and settling time. |
| Lancing LU-FM4A Three-head automatic servo auger filler | Published 50–300 g range, configured around an approved nominal 50 g bottle application. Three powder hoppers with conditioning arrangements selected after testing. | Three independently driven servo auger heads, custom screw and nozzle set, PLC/HMI recipes, photoelectric bottle detection and no-bottle/no-fill logic. | No generic accuracy figure is published in the documented project basis. Fill repeatability is to be established during sample trials and factory acceptance testing using the approved powder and bottle. | Practical integrated-line target of 25–35 bottles/min for the documented nominal 50 g bottle project, subject to product and line trials. |
How to use the table: compare the documented route with your product, but do not select tooling from fill weight alone. Bulk density, flowability, pack opening, headspace, dust and required cleaning can all change the final build.
From shortlist to specification
Prove the machine around representative samples.
A model comparison should lead to a sample-led test plan. Confirm the powder batch, target weights, proposed tooling, hopper condition, scale and sampling method, output condition and the real pack. Record start-up, stable running, hopper replenishment, planned stops and restart so the result represents production rather than a single favourable fill.
- Measure loose and settled bulk density
- Check bridging, aeration, dust and product segregation
- Trial the smallest and largest approved packs
- Record consecutive fill results with test conditions
- Verify tooling change, cleaning access and first-off restart checks

Lancing can use your fill range, bulk density, pack opening, output and cleaning requirements to identify the model and trial route that should be evaluated.
Machine shortlist
Choose the machine family from the way the pack is handled.
The auger is the dosing device, but the machine family is usually decided by who presents the pack, how the pack is held under the outlet and what has to happen after filling.
| Machine route | Best starting point | Evidence before specification |
|---|---|---|
| Tabletop or compact filler | Trials, short runs and very small production spaces where an operator can control the pack. | Smallest pack opening, target fill weight, operator access and bench or floor space. |
| Semi-automatic auger filler | Operator-presented jars, bottles, tubs or pouches where screw dosing improves repeatability over hand filling. | Powder flow, pack support, weighing method, dust around the filling point and changeover frequency. |
| Automatic auger filler | Conveyor-fed container projects where filling must work with infeed, indexing, capping, labelling or coding. | Container stability, neck or opening tolerance, dwell time, downstream closure and recovery after a stop. |
| VFFS auger filling | Roll-film bag or sachet applications where dosing, product drop, forming and sealing interact. | Bag width, film specification, fill volume, dust in the seal area and settling before the jaws close. |
| Complete powder line | Projects where feed, filling, closure, labelling, checking and discharge need one controlled route. | Process layout, utilities, guarding, controls interfaces, acceptance checks and operator handover. |
Do not shortlist on dose range alone
A published fill range can be a useful first filter, but the product may still require different tooling, outlet geometry, agitation or pack handling. A dense, free-flowing powder and a light aerated powder can behave very differently at the same target weight.
For this reason, Lancing will usually ask for representative samples before treating a machine route as confirmed.
Keep related domains in the right role
Use AugerFillers.co.uk when screw dosing is the main question. If the main uncertainty is direct weigh dosing, compare the weighing route on WeighFillers.co.uk. If the project is mainly pouch handling or film forming, keep the deeper pack-making detail on the specialist Lancing pouch and form-fill-seal routes.
