Auger filling
Usually the first route for fine powders, spice blends, coffee powders and other products that need controlled screw dosing.
Start with the application
Powder and granule filling machines for UK production.
Powder and granule projects often depend on how the product flows, how dusty it is, the target dose and whether you are filling a pre-made pack or creating the bag on the machine. This page groups the most relevant Lancing routes for that kind of enquiry.
Combi weighers
A stronger fit for free-flowing granules, pellets and products that benefit from accurate combination weighing.
Vertical form fill and seal
Best where the powder or granule needs to be bagged automatically from film as one integrated process.
What to send with your enquiry
Useful details help Lancing recommend the right route.
Explain the product
Describe how the material behaves in practice, whether it flows freely, and whether it is a powder, granule, pellet, part, food product, liquid or gel.
Set the target dose
Share the fill weight or dose range, acceptable tolerance and whether more than one fill size is needed.
Confirm the pack style
Pouch, sachet, jar, rigid container or integrated bagging workflow all change the right machine route.
Define the output
Required packs per minute, footprint limits and any downstream or line-integration requirement help narrow the shortlist.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions for this type of filling project.
Is auger filling better for powders than a combi weigher?
For most fine powders, auger filling is the more natural starting point because the screw system gives controlled dosing. For free-flowing granules or pellets, a combi weigher is often the better fit.
Can Lancing support pre-made pouches as well as bags from film?
Yes. The right route depends on whether you are filling a pre-made pouch, a jar, or creating the bag on a VFFS system.
What information helps size a powder machine?
Product flow, dustiness, target weight, pack opening, required output and the level of automation all help narrow the right recommendation.
