Product overview
Increasing powder-filling speed cannot be achieved simply by running one auger faster. At higher outputs, the filling and container-indexing systems must remain synchronized so that dosing accuracy is maintained while bottles continue moving through the line.
The Automatic Double Head Auger Powder Filling Machine addresses this by using two filling heads, two hoppers and a synchronized product conveyor, effectively doubling the available filling stations compared with a single-head configuration.
Technogen Enterprise is a Manufacturer and Supplier of Automatic Double Head Auger Powder Filling Machine equipment for Tanzania, developed for higher-speed filling of powders, dry powders and micro-granules into bottles and jars.
Both auger systems operate through servo-driven screw rotation. The servo drive and PLC control auger movement so that product quantity is metered according to a defined number of auger revolutions.
For smaller fill quantities of 5 grams and 10 grams, output is approximately 50–60 bottles per minute, subject to powder properties. The overall filling range extends from 5 grams to 1000 grams.
Container indexing is performed through a star wheel. This mechanical arrangement avoids pneumatic indexing and reduces dependence on compressed-air utility for bottle positioning.
The No Bottle–No Fill system prevents unnecessary product discharge when a container is absent.
Contact parts are manufactured from AISI 316L Stainless Steel, while the machine structure uses AISI 304 construction. The machine also incorporates drip control, variable conveyor speed and quick-change features intended to reduce product loss and changeover time.
For Tanzania manufacturers where a single auger head does not provide sufficient throughput, the dual-head architecture offers a higher-capacity solution while retaining the same servo-controlled dosing principle.
Working principle
- Empty bottles or jars enter the machine conveyor and travel towards the filling zone.
- The indexing system positions containers beneath the two powder-filling heads.
- Each filling head has its own hopper and auger mechanism.
- Powder enters the filling zone from each hopper and is controlled by the respective auger screw.
- Servo motors rotate the augers through the required number of revolutions.
- This controlled rotation meters the programmed amount of powder into the containers.
- Two filling stations operate in synchronization with the indexing system to increase output.
- If a bottle is not correctly positioned, the No Bottle–No Fill mechanism prevents powder discharge.
- Once filling is completed, the star wheel indexes the bottles forward while the next empty containers move into the filling position.
- Variable conveyor speed allows line movement to be adjusted according to powder properties, fill weight and required output.
- A drip-control system helps reduce residual powder falling from the filling point after the dosing cycle.

Applications & industries
The Automatic Double Head Auger Powder Filling Machine is suitable for higher-output production of compatible:
- Powders.
- Dry powders.
- Micro-granules.
- Bottle-packed powder products.
- Jar-packed powder products.
The dual filling heads make the system suitable where higher output is required without moving to a completely different filling principle.
For Tanzania production facilities handling larger powder volumes, the machine provides higher throughput while maintaining servo-based auger control and automatic container indexing.
Application items
- Dry powder filling.
- Micro-granule filling.
- Bottle powder filling.
- Jar powder filling.
- Dual-head powder filling.
- Servo-auger dosing.
- Automatic powder packaging lines.

Automatic Double Head Auger Powder Filling Machine for Tanzania production
For manufacturers in Tanzania, Automatic Double Head Auger Powder Filling Machine should be evaluated against the actual product, pack format, production schedule and operating environment. High-output automatic powder filler with two independently driven auger filling heads and twin hoppers, designed for bottles and jars with production up to 50–60 containers per minute for smaller fill weights. The selected arrangement must suit both routine output and the changeovers expected during normal production.
Operating and product considerations
The dosing method is selected from the product behaviour and required fill range. Viscosity, density, foaming, suspended particles, powder flow or dosage form can influence the hopper, pump, auger, nozzle and container-handling arrangement. Product trials or representative samples reduce uncertainty before configuration.
Planning the complete production line
Tanzanian manufacturers should also define the container infeed, closure process, cleaning expectation and downstream labelling or secondary packaging. Reviewing these interfaces together helps establish a balanced line and prevents one machine from limiting the practical output of the complete process.
Information required for machine selection
- Product viscosity, density, foaming behaviour and suspended particles
- Minimum and maximum fill quantity with acceptable tolerance
- Container material, dimensions, neck opening and target output
Enquiries are supported for projects in Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Mwanza, Arusha, Morogoro and other Tanzanian industrial locations. The final model, construction, output, documentation and support scope are confirmed in the commercial and technical offer.
