Machine specification
Specifying stainless steel auger fillers for powder products.
Stainless steel is often selected for cleanability, durability and product-contact suitability, but the exact specification still matters.
Practical guidance
Start with the product, pack and required output.
When customers ask for a stainless steel auger filler, they usually need a cleanable product-contact area and a robust production machine. The grade, finish and design should be appropriate for the product and cleaning process.
It is also important to consider non-contact areas, guarding, controls, frame design and the rest of the line. A stainless filler connected to unsuitable feed or closing equipment may still create practical issues.
Details that help narrow the specification
- Product-contact material requirement
- Cleaning method and chemicals used
- Dry, damp or washdown environment
- Frame and guarding expectations
- Associated conveyors and downstream machines

Can stainless machines handle chemicals?
Many chemical powder projects use stainless contact parts, but compatibility must be checked.
Should conveyors also be specified?
Yes if they form part of the same filling line.
