Auger Filling Machines
Auger filling machines work by using brushless self-driving servo motors to control auger motion in the fillers. In other words, an auger switch inside the machine dispenses your products with a rotating motion. Accutek’s auger filling machines are best suited for volumetric filling of dry, free-flowing products, powders, and granules that carry non-cohesive particles. These fillers are most ideal for filling dry products at higher speeds. Some example products our auger filling machinery can fill are coffee grounds, salt, pepper, sugar, and popcorn seeds. They are designed to handle all types of rigid plastic, metal, and glass containers—and all of our auger filling machines are based on heavy-duty stainless steel frames with all contact parts made of food grade materials. With our auger fillers, we help minimize needless product waste and costly downtimes.

HOW DO AUGER FILLER MACHINES WORK?
Accutek uses brushless self-driving servo motors to control auger motion in the fillers. Our auger filler solutions have both automatic and semi-automatic auger controls for compatibility with each production line. The system works with a 3-step process that includes:
Step 1: The filler starts the function by setting up the desired filling parameters using a sophisticated PLC system to ensure accurate fill levels.
Step 2: In semi-automatic fillers, the operators can feed containers and initiate the filling process with a push button. Our automatic auger fillers have a power conveyor, and automated fill heads mounted on the frame. The machine works with indexing controls, while the PLC system facilitates adjustments of machine functioning and fill capacities.
Step 3: In the final step, the hopper will feed the product to the auger screw while the motor rotates the auger at a constant speed as the product passes through the funnel. An agitator blade rotating opposite the auger screw homogenizes the product and prevents rat-holing in the funnel.
Our auger filler machines have low parallel flights to ensure higher precision in the fill volumes in every cycle.

WHY CHOOSE ACCUTEK’S AUGER FILLING MACHINES
With a touch screen control package and sturdy construction, Accutek auger filler systems follow stringent manufacturing and engineering standards to assist in high-speed, high-torque applications. Each machine offers unique benefits and features, including:
STATE-OF-THE-ART SERVO MOTOR
The direct-drive, brushless, servo-driven motor powers our auger fillers to ensure filling accuracy. The high-end variable speed agitator system eliminates a bevy of unwanted components like drive belts, clutches, encoders, or pulleys. With lesser parts, maintenance gets easier, and downtime becomes non-existent.
HIGHER FILLING PRECISION
When you require high accuracy in every batch, choose Accutek auger filler. The machine assures shaft resolution up to 1/5000 per revolution and speed limits up to 20 CPM for precise control and filling weight every time.
The servo drive works as per the selected control parameters and decelerates slowly to create repeatable filling cycles. With time, you’ll notice lesser product wastage and improved bottom line savings.
ENHANCED PRODUCTIVITY
The PLC operator interface gives instant access to the fill parameters, setting adjustments, and on-screen diagnostics with an HMI touch screen feature. You can also benefit from 30 programmable memories and help menus.
For the bulk filling, we offer a bulk hopper with stainless steel loading source. The ground-level source maintains a steady supply in the hopper, while dual-motor controllers provide a variable speed and direction for better control.
LESS MACHINE MAINTENANCE
For customization, we can design tooling for any designated container or product in your auger filler for faster integration with existing equipment and perfect workflows.
You can attain higher cost savings and upgrade your auger filler at a fraction of the price with options like additional filling heads, dual arrestors, casters, a wash-down conveyor system, and a custom filling dispenser.
We can fit your auger filler with a weight scale for powder types or products that require low tolerance in dosage deviations for each fill cycle.
Whether you are new to the industry or scaling up your existing equipment, we engineer filling systems to meet every production budget and industry-specific demand.
