Auger Filler
Behpoo auger fillers dose fine and cohesive powders that gravity systems cannot handle reliably. Fill weights from a few grams to several kilograms, with accuracy typically ±0.5% to ±1%.
An auger filler meters powder by rotating a screw inside a tube. Each revolution displaces a known volume, so the dose is set by the number of turns the servo drive makes. The powder is moved by force, not by gravity.

This is what makes auger filling the standard method for products that bridge, rathole or simply refuse to flow — flour, milk powder, spices, pigments, detergents and pharmaceutical powders.
Behpoo auger fillers are built with an agitated hopper to keep product moving into the screw, a servo drive for repeatable dosing, and screw geometry selected against your powder. Volumetric machines dose by screw revolutions alone; gravimetric machines add a load cell and correct the dose in a closed loop, holding accuracy as bulk density drifts.
Machines are supplied as filling heads for integration into bagging and container lines, or as complete stations with container handling and dust extraction.
Benefits & Features
- Fill weights from grams to several kilograms
- Accuracy ±0.5% to ±1% volumetric, better with gravimetric closed-loop control
- Handles cohesive, fine and poor-flowing powders that gravity systems cannot
- Servo drive with recipe-storable dose settings
- Agitated hopper against bridging and ratholing
- SS316 execution with tool-free stripdown for cleaning
- Dust-tight nozzle sealing and extraction connection
Product Range
| Type | What it is | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Volumetric | Dose set by screw revolutions alone, no weighing | Stable bulk density, cost-sensitive applications |
| Gravimetric (closed loop) | Load cell under the container corrects each dose | Powders whose bulk density varies batch to batch |
| Twin-Screw | Two augers running in parallel from one hopper | Higher throughput, or two-component dosing |
| Hygienic / Pharma | SS316L contact parts, tool-free stripdown, containment nozzle | Food, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical powders |
| Bulk Bag / Sack Head | Heavy-duty head sized for 25 kg sacks and FIBC filling | Industrial powders in large containers |

Areas & Application
Food Powders
Flour, milk powder, starch, cocoa and spice blends dosed into sachets, jars and sacks where the product will not flow under gravity.
Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical
APIs, excipients and supplement powders dosed under containment in SS316L execution with tool-free cleaning access.
Chemicals & Pigments
Fine chemical powders, pigments and dyes dosed accurately despite cohesive behaviour and variable bulk density.
Detergents & Household
Powder detergents and cleaning products dosed into consumer packs and bulk containers.
Construction Chemicals
Additives and dry mortar components dosed into sacks and big bags on industrial filling lines.
