Powder

The Nexus Australia powder filling machine doses powdered products accurately into jars, bottles, pouches, sachets and tubs across a wide range of industries and production volumes. Both semi-automatic and automatic powder filling machine configurations are available, supplied and serviced Australia-wide. Some producers know this equipment as a powder packing machine or powder packaging machine; the machine is the same, configured to your powder and container.

How a powder filling machine works

Empty containers are indexed under the dosing head, where a measured amount of powder is metered into each one. The dose is controlled by an auger screw, volumetric cup, vibratory tray or weigh scale depending on the powder, then the filled containers move on for capping, sealing or labelling.

Auger filling for powders

For most powders an auger powder filling machine is the preferred choice. A rotating auger screw meters a precise volume of powder per fill, handling fine, free-flowing and cohesive powders alike with tight weight accuracy and dust control. Auger fillers suit everything from spices and protein powders to pharmaceutical and chemical powders.

Filling systems

• Auger filler: precise dosing of powders using auger screws.
• Volumetric filler: volumetric filling for free-flowing powders.
• Vibratory filler: consistent, controlled filling for fine powders.
• Net weight filler: filling by measuring the weight of the powder.

Accuracy and dust control

Powder filling demands consistent fill weights and a clean line. Our systems use dust extraction, anti-dribble nozzles and weigh-check feedback to keep fills accurate and the work area tidy, which matters for high-value powders and regulated pharmaceutical products.
