The Automatic Servo Auger Filling Machine is the best example of a volumetric dry product packaging technology. The industries that require high-value powders and granular products, flour, spices, coffee, nutraceuticals, and chemicals, where the dispensing accuracy and speed are paramount, require it. The machine ensures very uniform fills by means of rotation control of a special screw, or auger, by use of a powerful, fast, and accurate servo motor.
NextGen Packaging solution is a parochial automatic servo auger filler machine manufacturer, which designs highly flexible systems that can be easily incorporated with both vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) baggers and horizontal lines able to fill jars, bottles, or cans.
The sensitive distinction is in the servo motor. Contrasting with less accurate clutch/brake systems, the servo motor will allow instant start/stop on the machine and use of the rotation count of the auger. The filler injects the product via a count of the number of motor revolutions so that the volume that is dispensed at each fill cycle is very precise and repeatable.
The filling volume is controlled by the HMI (Human Machine Interface) of the machine completely. The operator inputs the desired fill weight, and this is corrected automatically by the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), which calculates the precise number of auger revolutions needed, based on the current product density or the desired speed setting. This control is based on recipes and allows speedy and consistent changeovers.
To be more accurate, the machine may be combined with a checkweigher. When the checkweigher identifies a tendency of approaching under- or overfilling, the PLC simply transmits a signal relayed back to the servo controller to change the number of revolutions per fill cycle immediately, giving long-term stability and reducing waste of the products.

This machine is designed for dry powders and granules, including flour, spices, coffee, nutraceuticals, chemical powders, and similar free-flowing products. The auger configuration can be selected to suit the product characteristics.
A servo motor precisely controls the auger's rotation. By setting the required number of revolutions through the machine's control system, the filler dispenses a consistent volume during every filling cycle.
Yes. Operators can save and select product recipes through the HMI, making it easy to set different fill weights and support quicker changeovers between compatible products.
Yes. It can be integrated with VFFS pouch packing machines and with lines for jars, bottles, or cans, depending on the packaging application and production layout.
The machine can be paired with a checkweigher to monitor filled packs. When a trend toward overfilling or underfilling is detected, feedback can be used to adjust the auger rotation and maintain stable output.
