Flexible pack presentation
Manual presentation can accommodate approved bottles, jars, tubs or pouches without a dedicated conveyor format, but output remains operator-dependent.

Direct answer
What is the Lancing LU-FM100B tabletop auger filler?
The Lancing LU-FM100B is a compact semi-automatic volumetric auger filler. An operator presents a bottle, jar, tub, pouch or compatible pack beneath the filling nozzle and initiates the programmed dose using the controls or foot pedal. The platform is intended for development batches, pilot work and lower-volume production rather than automatic pack feeding or closing.
Interchangeable auger, tube and nozzle sets are selected around the powder and target dose. The published 0.5 g to 2,000 g envelope therefore describes the available tooling family, not one universal setup.
Good initial fit
- Product-development and pilot batches
- Small or growing production volumes
- Frequent product or pack changes
- Operator-presented bottles, jars, tubs or pouches
- Sites that need controlled dosing before full line automation
Verified model data
LU-FM100B reference specification
The final production configuration is selected after representative product and pack review.
| Specification | Reference model data | Application note |
|---|---|---|
| Machine format | Compact semi-automatic tabletop / bench auger filler | Operator presents and removes each pack |
| Published fill envelope | 0.5 g to 2,000 g by selected tooling | Practical range depends on density, pack volume and auger choice |
| Published tooling windows | Φ19: 0.5–50 g; Φ25: 2–15 g; Φ38: 20–50 g; Φ51: 30–100 g; Φ60: 100–500 g; Φ70: 200–1,000 g; Φ80: 500–2,000 g | A target close to a tooling boundary should be trialled with the alternative sets |
| Hopper | Nominal 35 litres; approximately 450 mm diameter | Agitation and product-contact execution are application-dependent |
| Reference capacity | 10–25 fill cycles per minute | Finished-pack output depends on dose, powder, operator and closing method |
| Reference accuracy | Approximately ±1% after appropriate setup | Final repeatability requires product-specific calibration and verification |
| Pack clearance | Container height below 300 mm | Opening, shoulder and support geometry must also be approved |
| Approximate machine size | 780 × 750 × 1,150 mm; approximately 120 kg | Final execution and work area should be confirmed |
| Utilities | 110/220 V, 50–60 Hz | Standard model does not require air; customised executions may differ |
Operating sequence
How the LU-FM100B fills a pack.
The repeatable process depends on matching the installed tooling and product condition to the approved recipe.
| Step | Operator and machine action | Control point |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Load and condition product | Load representative powder into the hopper and use the selected agitation arrangement | Maintain the agreed hopper level and product condition |
| 2. Select the setup | Fit the approved auger, tube and nozzle, then select or enter the verified parameters | Confirm mechanical tooling matches the recipe |
| 3. Present the pack | Place the approved pack beneath the nozzle and support it consistently | Check opening, fill height and nozzle clearance |
| 4. Start the dose | Initiate the auger cycle by foot pedal or approved control method | Prevent an unintended fill without a pack in position |
| 5. Check and close | Remove the filled pack for weighing, capping, sealing or other downstream handling | Verify weights at the agreed frequency and record adjustments |
Selection considerations
What the tabletop format does and does not provide.
Controlled volumetric dosing
Servo or controlled auger rotation provides a repeatable starting point, but density and product condition still influence weight.
View detailsSeparate closing operation
The LU-FM100B does not automatically feed, open, cap or seal packs. Those stages remain manual or require separate equipment.
View detailsTrial checklist
What to verify before the LU-FM100B is released for production.
A useful trial should reproduce the normal powder and pack condition rather than testing a convenient substitute.
| Trial item | Information or sample required |
|---|---|
| Powder | Representative normal and challenging batches, including storage or moisture condition |
| Dose range | Minimum, nominal and maximum target weights plus the intended tolerance and checking method |
| Pack | Production-intent packs with dimensions, opening size, fill height and closing method |
| Tooling | Comparison of the likely auger/nozzle sets where a target sits near a range boundary |
| Cycle | Operator presentation, dose, removal, weighing and closure sequence |
| Cleaning | Required dismantling, product change and verification method before the next batch |
Buyer questions
Common questions about the LU-FM100B.
Is the LU-FM100B fully automatic?
No. The LU-FM100B meters the powder automatically for each initiated cycle, but the operator normally presents and removes the pack. Automatic pack feeding, indexing and closing require a different or additional system.
Can the LU-FM100B fill both small and large doses?
The platform has several published tooling windows from 0.5 g to 2,000 g. The practical range for a powder depends on bulk density, auger geometry, pack volume and the accepted repeatability, so the required tools should be selected through trials.
Does the machine guarantee ±1% accuracy?
No universal accuracy guarantee should be taken from a catalogue reference. The achievable result depends on product consistency, correct tooling, hopper condition, setup and the agreed weighing method.
Can it fill pouches as well as jars?
Yes, compatible pouches and rigid containers can be operator-presented beneath the nozzle, subject to opening size, stability, fill volume and an appropriate support arrangement.
What is the next step if output grows?
A growing operation can consider a larger semi-automatic platform such as the LU-FM710 or LU-FM750F, or move to automatic container or pouch handling when labour and line flow justify it.
Specification basis and project boundary
Specification basis: Lancing technical specification and quotation records reviewed 20 August 2026. Values shown are reference machine data, not a guarantee for every powder, dose or pack. Final construction, tooling, utilities, output and fill performance are confirmed after product, pack and application approval.
Representative samples should be used to verify bulk density, flow, dust, aeration, bridging, cut-off, pack clearance and the agreed checking method before final specification.
