An Auger Dry Syrup Filling Machine is a specialized piece of pharmaceutical packaging equipment designed for accurately dispensing and filling dry powders—such as dry syrups, granules, or other non-free-flowing powders—into bottles, jars, vials, or pouches. Dry Syrup Filling Machine are essential in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and chemical industries for ensuring precise dosing, which is critical for product quality, compliance with regulations, and high-volume production. The “auger” refers to the screw-like mechanism that rotates to measure and transfer exact volumes of powder, preventing issues like clumping or uneven fills common with free-flowing materials.

How Does It Work?
-
Hopper Loading: Powder is loaded into a built-in hopper.
-
Auger Activation: A rotating auger screw draws a predetermined volume of powder from the hopper.
-
Filling Cycle: The measured powder is dispensed into containers via a funnel or nozzle. Sensors or pedals trigger the cycle, and the process repeats for high-speed operation.
-
Post-Fill: Machines often integrate with conveyors, cappers, or sealers for complete lines.
This volumetric method provides ±1-2% accuracy, depending on powder properties like fineness, flowability, and bulk density.
Types of Auger Dry Powder Filling Machines
Based on automation and configuration, these machines come in several variants:
-
Semi-Automatic: Manual container placement with foot pedal or sensor activation; ideal for small batches.
-
Automatic Single-Head Auger: Linear motion with one auger; conveyor-fed for steady flow.
-
Automatic Double-Head Auger: Twin hoppers for higher throughput; handles various bottle shapes without change parts.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Materials: Contact parts in SS316, Nylon, or HDPE for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.
-
Controls: Digital panels, variable frequency drives (VFD), or servo motors for adjustable speeds and fill volumes.
-
Add-Ons: Vibratory feeders, vacuum pumps for de-aeration, date coders, or VFFS integration for pouches.
- Advantages:
-
High precision for non-free-flowing powders.
-
Reduces waste and contamination.
-
Scalable from 10-150 bpm, with low maintenance.
-
-
Considerations: Powder texture affects performance—test for flow properties. Not ideal for very sticky or oily powders without modifications.
Applications
-
Pharmaceuticals: Dry syrups, antibiotics, effervescent powders, injectables.
-
Food & Beverages: Milk powder, spices, instant coffee, baking mixes.
-
Others: Detergents, chemicals, nutraceuticals.

Process Operation of Dry Syrup Filling Machine
The incoming sterilized dry bottle is fed through the in-feed turn table. Suitable guide supply bottles on to flat conveyor belt at the required speed for feeding. There is filling head mounted on machine top plate in the same line.
When bottle reaches to the mechanical holder detained filling station, Bottle sensor sense the bottles and Magnetic clutch starts to rotate which is mounted on auger shaft. It fills the desired amount of powder into the bottle through auger, where rotation time is previously determined.
Duly filled bottles go upward on to the sealing station with the help of SS conveyor belt.
