Pharmaceutical Augers
Augers used in in the pharmaceutical process industry demand the highest integrity with the finest overall polish finish. Fabricated augers can suffer from many defects, some of which will present problems in any application. These defects, however, are most impacting within pharmaceutical and medical applications.
Pharmaceutical augers will traditionally be manufactured in stainless steel with the helicoid flights welded onto a central core. Fabrication has a few drawbacks:
The accuracy of the flights − Usually reliant on the “eye” of the welder/fabricator and can vary by large amounts. Variations in flight pitch and diameter affect the augers action in propelling product and can produce uneven flow patterns, affecting accuracy. Trantec Augers are manufactured using computer controlled machine tools and have accuracies within tolerances of 0.01 mm in diameter and pitch.
Two problems associated with welding austenitic stainless steel augers are sensitisation of the weld heat affected zone and hot cracking of weld metal.

Seasoning & Flavouring Augers
Augers are widely employed by flavouring and seasoning applications involving Metering Screw Feeders and similar powder metering devices. Trantec specialises in flavouring applications, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to assist you with your seasoning requirements. Whether its offering advice on poorly performing existing equipment or alternative types of augers that are better suited to your materials, we can assist.
Filling Machine Augers
Filling Machines, otherwise known as Auger Fillers, are commonly used in many areas of the solids handling industry. Filling Machines, like Volumetric Screw Feeders, employ an auger screw for dosing of powders and dry bulk solids. Whilst particular popular with pharmaceutical and ingredients processing, Auger Filling Machines are used to accurately dose and dispense a wide range of powders, a few examples include:
Pharmaceutical powders and pills.
Ingredients such as flour, cocoa, dairy powder, rock salt, and baby formula.
Fertilisers.
Ground coffee and beans.
Unshelled peanuts.
Auger Fillers incorporate specially designed augers to manipulate materials. Examples of these machines are Volumetric Fillers, both auger and pocket fillers. Trantec manufactures high-quality augers for filling and packaging machinery. Our materials range from traditional engineering plastics such as UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) to exotic engineering plastics such as PEEK (Polyether ether ketone) and PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene). Our metals include 304, 316 and 316L grade stainless steel, which are readily available for quick turnaround times.

Replacement screw feeder augers
Metering Screw Feeders and similar powder metering devices employ augers in various configurations to produce accurate delivery of powders and dry bulk solids. Augers UK, a division of Trantec, manufactures replacement augers for many brands of powder feeder systems. Our engineers’ combined knowledge and experience surrounding augers and metering screw feeders give us an edge over our competitors, allowing us to produce fully interchangeable, premium-quality metering augers that are guaranteed complete compatibility and functionality or your money back!
Bespoke Augers
Working from your sketch, photograph, or ideally from a drawing or original sample, we will produce a 3D model and provide engineering drawings. Using our CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) software, we can then reproduce your auger flight profile and connecting shaft or adapter. From single, one-off augers to multiples, Trantec can offer competitive pricing and fast delivery and are often found to be quicker and cheaper than the OEM (original equipment manufacturer).
