Webb Automation Powder Filling FAQs

What is an auger filler and how does it work?

An auger filler uses a rotating screw (auger) inside a funnel to dose powder into a container. Each turn of the auger delivers a consistent amount, so the machine controls the fill weight by controlling how far the auger turns. Auger fillers are the most common way to fill powders accurately and with little dust. Proquip Solutions is the New Zealand distributor for Webb Automation (G-Webb) auger fillers. See the auger filling range.

Which Webb Automation auger filler suits my production?

It depends on the speed and accuracy you need. The DigiFill DF-1 is a reliable, straightforward auger filler with a clutch and brake drive, for jobs that don't need top speed. It can be pillar-mounted above a VFFS bagging machine or used floor-standing. The EasiFill EF-III adds a direct, variable-speed auger drive with its own stirrer, needs very little maintenance, and is the better choice for weight-controlled filling. The ServoFill SF-III is the top of the range, built for the highest speed and accuracy at over 200 fills per minute. All three share tooling and can connect to other packaging equipment.

What products can a powder filling machine fill?

Powder filling machines fill free-flowing and non-free-flowing powders, including milk powder, protein powder, nutritional and sports supplements, flour, spices, coffee, cocoa, sugar, pharmaceutical powders and agrochemicals. Each powder flows differently, so the auger and funnel are matched to your product to keep fills accurate.

What containers can a powder filler fill?

Powder fillers can fill jars, tubs, tins, cans, bottles, pouches and bags, depending on the machine and the container handling around it. Semi-automatic fillers have an operator place each container, while automatic systems move containers in and out of the filling station on a conveyor or rotary table.

What is a rotary filling system?

A rotary filling system moves containers around a rotating table through each step, such as placing, filling, check-weighing and capping, so several jobs happen at once in a small footprint. It suits higher outputs than a single filling station. The Webb Automation RP1600 RotoPlant is a rotary container handling and filling system for powders. See the rotary filling range.

How can I reduce dust and improve accuracy when filling powders?

Matching the auger and funnel to your powder is the biggest factor, as it controls how evenly product is delivered. Dust extraction at the filling head, a well-sealed funnel and a fill nozzle that reaches into the container all reduce dust. Servo-driven augers improve repeatability, and check-weighing confirms every fill, so you can reduce giveaway safely.

Yes. Alongside our main range, we offer economy machines that aren't listed on the website, as well as used equipment, rentals and finance options to spread the cost. Tell us about your powder, container and budget, and we'll recommend the options that suit your situation.
