Filling Machines
Fill liquids, pastes, powders and granules into containers by volume or weight.
Powder Filling Machinery and Process Solutions
What to consider for powder filling: flowability, dust, density, moisture and fill weight.
Powder Filling equipment selection depends on flowability, dust, density, moisture and fill weight.
Common equipment
Machine types used for this application. One technology does not fit every product, so compare the options against your sample.
Pouch & Sachet Machines
Form, fill and seal machines and premade pouch packers for flexible packs.
Sealing Machines
Induction, heat, band, foil and tube sealing for secure, tamper-evident packs.
Should powders be filled with an auger or by weight?
Auger fillers dose by volume and suit fine, non-free-flowing powders such as protein, spices and milk powder. Weighing systems suit products whose density varies or where accuracy is critical. Many lines use an auger with checkweighing feedback.

Common questions
Which pouch packing machine suits powders and granules?
Powders are usually dosed with an auger filler, and free-flowing granules with a volumetric cup filler or a multihead weigher. The doser sits on a vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machine for pillow pouches or on a premade pouch machine for stand-up pouches. Pouch size, fill weight, accuracy and output decide the final choice.
What kind of machine is used for high-output flour packing?
High-output flour packing normally uses a servo-driven auger filler on a collar-type VFFS machine, with dust extraction and accurate weighing. For bigger bags, an open-mouth bag filler with a weigher is common. The right setup depends on bag size, target bags per minute and how fine and dusty the flour is.
