Product overview
Small-dose powder filling creates a different production challenge from kilogram-range auger filling. Laboratories, pilot plants and smaller production units need accurate dosing without occupying the floor space or requiring the container-handling infrastructure of a full automatic line.
The Table Top Auger Filler is designed specifically for this operating environment. It combines manual container handling with an auger-based automatic dosing mechanism in a compact tabletop format.
Technogen Enterprise offers the Table Top Auger Filler as a Manufacturer and Supplier for Tanzania, serving pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, cosmetic, laboratory and pilot-production applications.
Its dosing range extends from 0.5 g to 25 g, with a stated filling capacity of approximately 20–40 fills per minute. Powder-contact parts are manufactured from SS 316, while the hopper holds approximately 15–20 kg of product.
Unlike conveyorized automatic powder fillers, this machine keeps container handling simple. The operator positions the container while the auger mechanism performs controlled dosing.
Electronic controls with solid-state contacts manage machine operation, while a keypad allows adjustment of the filling control.
The compact footprint makes the machine particularly suitable for R&D departments, clinical batches, formulation laboratories and small commercial production environments in Tanzania where frequent product changes and smaller batch sizes are common requirements.
Working principle
Powder or granules are loaded into the product hopper.
The operator manually positions the required container below the filling point.
The auger filling mechanism meters the powder according to the selected filling setting.
Electronic controls operate the auger dosing cycle.
The keypad is used to manage the required weight or volumetric filling setting.
As the auger rotates, the required quantity of product is transferred from the hopper through the filling outlet and into the container.
After the filling cycle is complete, the operator removes the filled container and places the next container in position.
This semi-automatic principle combines manual package handling with machine-controlled powder dosing.

Applications & industries
The Table Top Auger Filler is suited to applications where relatively small powder quantities must be filled accurately and hygienically.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Suitable for dry syrup powders, antibiotics, vitamins and compatible pharmaceutical powders.
Nutraceutical Industry
Applicable to protein powders, herbal supplements and dietary products.
Food Industry
Suitable for compatible powdered products such as spices, cocoa, powdered milk, coffee, sugar and other powdered ingredients.
Cosmetics
Can be used for compatible face powders, talc and fine cosmetic powders.
Laboratories & Pilot Plants
Well suited for R&D work, clinical-trial batches and smaller production campaigns.
For Tanzania operations where small pack sizes, limited production space and flexible batch handling are important, the tabletop configuration offers an alternative to larger floor-mounted auger systems.

Table Top Auger Filler for Tanzania production
For manufacturers in Tanzania, Table Top Auger Filler should be evaluated against the actual product, pack format, production schedule and operating environment. Compact semi-automatic auger filler for precision dosing of dry syrups, powders and granules from 0.5 g to 25 g, designed for laboratories, pilot plants and small to medium production. 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.
