Documented Lancing model
A small-footprint auger filler for operator-presented dry-powder packs.
The LU-FM100S is a compact semi-automatic auger powder filler. The operator places a suitable jar, bottle, tub or supported bag beneath the nozzle and starts the preset dose by foot pedal or push button. The finished pack is then checked and closed in a separate operation.
- Approximately 6 litre hopper
- Auger screw metering with product-selected nozzle
- Foot-pedal or push-button initiation
- Digital parameter controls
- Compact floor or bench-adjacent workstation
Verified reference configuration
LU-FM100S technical basis and trial conditions.
These documented values describe a reference compact model. They must be confirmed against the actual powder, target dose, container opening and operator method before order.
| Item | Documented reference | Condition to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Machine type | Compact semi-automatic auger powder filler for operator-presented packs. | Confirm pack stability and a safe, repeatable presentation method. |
| Product condition | Dry, non-sticky or reasonably free-flowing powders in the documented reference applications. | Dusty, oily, cohesive or uneven blends require representative testing and may need a different hopper or machine route. |
| Reference filling range | Approximately 1–100 g in one documented standard configuration; alternative small- or larger-dose auger options are available subject to confirmation. | Select the auger and nozzle from actual fill volume and product behaviour rather than weight alone. |
| Hopper | Approximately 6 litres and 320 mm diameter. | Check refill frequency, head-level sensitivity and whether agitation or local extraction is required. |
| Reference cycle range | Approximately 20–30 fills per minute. | Finished output depends on fill weight, flow, pack presentation, checking and closing; confirm through a timed application trial. |
| Accuracy basis | Reference approximately ±1% under supplier conditions. | Final repeatability depends on product consistency, tooling, settings and the agreed weighing method. |
| Nozzle | Approximately 20 mm reference nozzle; custom nozzle subject to pack and sample details. | The outlet must clear the smallest opening while controlling dust, dribble and rim contamination. |
| Utilities | 110/220 V, 50/60 Hz, approximately 0.5 kW; standard reference model does not require compressed air. | Confirm the UK build, final machine plate and any optional extraction or ancillary utilities. |
| Approximate size and mass | 520 × 430 × 950 mm; approximately 59 kg. | Allow separate operating, product-loading, cleaning, scale-check and pack-closing space. |
Best use case
Use the LU-FM100S for focused small-dose work where an operator remains in control.
The compact hopper and manual pack presentation make the LU-FM100S most useful for product trials, small batches, short campaigns and lower-volume production. It can reduce variation and spillage compared with hand scooping, but it does not automate pack feeding, weighing, sealing or capping.
A target range that can be covered by a selected auger and nozzle without using the extremes of a broad catalogue range.
A stable rigid container or supported pouch with enough opening clearance for the controlled outlet.
Manual loading, weight checks and closing that still meet the required good-pack output.
LU-FM100S or LU-FM100B?
Choose the LU-FM100S when the compact 6 litre hopper, small-dose reference configuration and simpler control platform fit the duty. Review the LU-FM100B tabletop auger filler when a 35 litre hopper, touchscreen recipes, a broader documented tooling range or packs up to the documented 300 mm height are needed.
When is weigh-assisted filling more appropriate?
Where product density varies between batches, routine weight correction is central to the process, or broader batch records are required, compare the LU-FM710 weigh-assisted auger filler. The scale remains part of an agreed process and should not be assumed to be an automatic legal-for-trade checkweigher.
Product and pack trial
Confirm cut-off, dust and the complete manual cycle.
The trial should establish whether the powder flows into the auger consistently, whether the selected outlet fits the pack opening, whether a tail or puff occurs at cut-off and whether the operator can present and remove the pack safely and repeatably. Finished-pack output must include weight checking and closing rather than counting dose cycles alone.
Use the spice and seasoning route, sample-trial guide and capacity planning guide to prepare the application.
Buyer questions
Common questions about the LU-FM100S compact auger filler.
Is the LU-FM100S a tabletop powder filler?
The LU-FM100S is a compact semi-automatic machine, but the final installation should be planned from its documented dimensions, mass, product loading height and operator access rather than the word “tabletop” alone. A stable workstation and safe powder-loading method are required.
Direct link to answerCan the LU-FM100S fill pouches?
The LU-FM100S can dose into a supported open pouch when the pouch can be held consistently beneath the nozzle and moved to a separate sealer. It does not automatically feed, open or seal premade pouches, so flexible-pack handling must be included in the output assessment.
Direct link to answerWill the LU-FM100S handle sticky or oily powders?
Sticky, oily or strongly cohesive powders should not be accepted from a generic model description. They can adhere to the hopper, auger or outlet and may bridge or smear at cut-off. Representative samples are required to determine whether modified agitation, tooling, cleaning access or another technology is more suitable.
Direct link to answerHow should LU-FM100S fill accuracy be checked?
Check the LU-FM100S with a defined target, tolerance, calibrated or otherwise suitable scale, stated sample plan and representative run conditions. Include start-up, stable running, hopper refill and restart fills; a reference percentage without those conditions is not enough to approve production.
Direct link to answerWhat should be confirmed in an LU-FM100S quotation?
Confirm the base machine, hopper, selected auger and nozzle, controls, pack support, product-contact finish, guarding, documentation, trial scope, delivery and any optional extraction, weighing or closing equipment. Comparing only the base machine name can hide important application-specific scope.
