Auger filling or combi weighers: which route fits better?

The decision between auger filling and combi weighers usually comes down to how the product flows. Fine powders often need controlled screw dosing, while free-flowing granules, pellets and similar products often suit combination weighing better.

Auger filling machines

Usually the stronger route for fine powders, dusty products and dry blends that need controlled screw dosing.

Combi weighers

Often the better fit for free-flowing pellets, granules and dry components where combination weighing improves pack accuracy.

What to send with your enquiry

Useful details help Lancing recommend the right route.

1

Explain the product

Describe how the material behaves in practice, whether it is a powder, granule, pellet, bean, snack, part or dry food product, and how it flows in the packhouse environment.

2

Set the target dose

Share the fill weight or dose range, acceptable tolerance and whether more than one fill size is required.

3

Confirm the pack style

Pouch, sachet, rigid container, stand-up pouch or a bag formed on the machine all change the most suitable route.

4

Define the output

Required packs per minute, footprint limits and any wider line-integration requirement help narrow the shortlist.
