POWDER FILLING & PACKAGING

Powder Filling & Packaging Machines — Auger, Volumetric, and Weigher-Based Systems

SunGene manufactures powder filling and packaging machines for flour, spice, coffee, detergent, chemical powder, and industrial powders. Configuration depends on your product's flowability, fill weight, and target output.

Who It's For

Food Manufacturers

Flour mills, spice producers, coffee roasters, and protein powder brands needing accurate, hygienic filling at scale.

Chemical & Industrial

Detergent powder, cement additives, and agricultural chemicals — with dust-proof and enclosed designs for safety.

Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical

Applications where GMP compliance and SUS316L stainless steel contact parts are required.

Contract Packers

Handling multiple SKUs and fill weights — machines with quick format changeover and servo-driven accuracy.

Suitable Products

Free-flowing powders

  • Flour
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Spice
  • Coffee
  • Protein powder
  • Milk powder

Non-free-flowing / cohesive

  • Starch
  • Cocoa
  • Fine chemical powder (requires agitation or special dosing)

Industrial powders

  • Detergent
  • Cement additives
  • Agrochemical powder

We review your product's bulk density, particle size, and moisture content before recommending a filler type.

Packaging & Output Options

Bag typesPillow bag (VFFS), stand-up pouch, sachets / stick packs, flat-bottom bag, pre-made pouches
Fill weight rangeFrom 1g sachets to 50kg bags (depends on configuration)
Output rangeTypically 10–120 bags/min depending on fill weight, bag format, and filler type

All stated ranges are configuration-dependent — we confirm based on your specific product and format.

Available Configurations

01

Auger Filler

Best for free-flowing to mildly cohesive powders. High accuracy (±0.5–1%). Pairs with VFFS or pre-made pouch machines.

02

Volumetric Cup Filler

Lower cost, suitable for uniform free-flowing powders. Less accurate than auger — ideal when tight tolerances are not required.

03

Multi-Head Weigher

For granules and powders that need high speed and accurate weight. Best above 20 bags/min.

04

Combination System (Auger + VFFS)

Complete vertical form-fill-seal line for sachets to 1kg bags.

05

Big Bag / Bulk Filler

For 5–50kg industrial packaging. Gravity-based or screw-conveyed feeding.

06

Material & Compliance

SUS304 standard; SUS316L available for food-grade and pharmaceutical applications. CE certified; voltage and frequency customized for your country.

Key Decision Factors

Product flowabilityFree-flowing → auger or volumetric. Cohesive → specialized auger with agitator or vibration.
Fill weightLight sachets → high-speed auger + VFFS. Heavy bags → bulk filler or multi-head.
Accuracy requirement±0.5% → auger filler with servo drive. ±2% acceptable → volumetric.
Output speed< 30 bags/min → single auger. 30–80 → multi-head weigher. > 80 → high-speed systems.
Hygiene levelStandard → SUS304. Food/pharma → SUS316L + clean-in-place design.
Line integrationSingle machine or full line with conveyor, metal detector, check-weigher, and case packer.

Process Integration

This machine integrates into your broader production workflow at the filling stage. A typical integrated powder line may include:

Raw material silos
Pneumatic conveying
De-clumper
Auger filler
VFFS or pre-made pouch
Check-weigher
Metal detector
Label applicator
Case packer
Palletizer

We design the integration level based on your available floor space, operators, and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Auger fillers use a rotating screw to dispense controlled volumes — best for consistent, fine powders. Multi-head weighers measure by weight across multiple heads — better for speed when fill weight variance is acceptable. For most flour/spice applications, auger gives better accuracy. For granule-like powders at high speed, multi-head is preferred.

Yes. Most VFFS machines allow bag width and length adjustment via servo-controlled film drive. Format changes typically take 15–30 minutes. For very different formats (e.g. 10g sachet vs 1kg bag), a second machine is usually recommended.

With a servo-driven auger filler, you can expect ±0.5–1% accuracy for most free-flowing powders. Cohesive or hygroscopic powders may require calibration and may have slightly lower consistency. We recommend sharing a product sample for accurate performance estimation.

CE certification for export to the EU and markets that recognize CE marking. Food-contact parts are SUS304 standard; SUS316L available on request. We can provide test reports and material certificates for customs clearance.

Yes. Integrated nitrogen flushing is available for applications where oxidation must be minimized — common in coffee, protein powder, and certain spice products.
