Posted by Zhengzhou Vtops Machinery Co., Ltd. on January 23rd, 2020

Flour, milk powder, food additives, etc. are common dry food powders in our lives. Our Daily Bread, as people’s awareness of consuming safety continues increasing, the requirements for food packaging, quality, safety are accordingly increasing. Dry powder products have special requirements for packaging equipment due to their have the characteristics of dispersible and dust during filling. Currently, the dry powder filling machine on the market mainly adopts the auger metering method.

1. Basic Structure

The basic dry powder filling machine composed of an auger filler and a screw conveyor feeder. The outlet of screw conveyor feeder is connect to the top of the hopper of auger filler by a soft connection. The dry powders in the hopper of screw conveyor feeder will be conveyed to the hopper of the auger filler by screw blades.

2. Closed Design

In addition, we know that most of the dry powders are microcrystalline powders with smaller particle size. When conveying and filling in the packaging process, they are easy to leak out through the form of dust, which causes waste of finished materials and it is also not good for workers’ health. Therefore, the filling of dry powder requires a relatively closed space to ensure that the dry powder does not leak. A dust removal device can be added if necessary.

3. Fill-by-Weight

Of course, while the auger fillers realized quantitative filling of the materials, the accuracy, speed and efficiency of the filling can not be ignored. For customers with high precision requirements, they often care about error as low as 0.1%. So, the high precision research and development has always been the unremitting pursuit of professional manufacturers.
