What Auger Fabrication does
Auger Fabrication, Inc. is a privately held Pennsylvania corporation founded in 1984, operating a single manufacturing facility in Downingtown, Pennsylvania with 11-50 employees. The company specializes in the design, in-house manufacture, and fabrication of precision augers, conveyor screws, feeder screws, and flighting used in powder, bulk solids, and viscous liquid filling machines. Its product portfolio spans vertical augers (free-flow, non-free-flow, and liquid tooling pump configurations), horizontal augers, multiple funnel styles, hoppers, and a wide accessory set including agitation blades, cutoff devices, spinner plates, restrictor grids, dividing heads, and custom fabricated augers in stainless steel, brass, and FDA-approved plastics.
The company's technical differentiation rests on in-house control of the full production process, stainless-steel mirror-finish polishing for dispensing accuracy, concentric stem and O.D. flight geometry, and a complimentary in-house product testing lab that determines optimal auger and funnel configurations for customer samples. Universal tooling compatibility is engineered across the major vertical and horizontal filler OEMs (All-Fill, AMS, Mateer-Burt, Spee-Dee, Per-Fil, Coperion K-Tron, Rovema, Kason, Schenck Accurate, Bartelt/Kloeckner, Prab/Hapman).
Auger Fabrication operates a B2B go-to-market with no public e-commerce storefront; all pricing is quote-based and shipments are F.O.B. Downingtown. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of new and replacement augers and accessories, supplemented by repair/refurbishment services (shaft straightening, flight replacement, stem repair) and custom fabrication work. The company serves enterprise end users (Kraft Foods, Domino, Procter & Gamble, Nestle, Glanbia, Revlon) alongside OEM customers, and is operationally affiliated with All-Fill, Inc., whose staff provides support to Auger Fabrication's operations.

Products and services
- Vertical Augers Stainless-steel vertical augers polished to a mirror finish for precision metering and dispensing of powders and bulk solids in filling machines; designed for accurate, consistent fills.
- Free-Flow Augers Straight augers for free-flowing powders such as granulated sugar, salt, and bread crumbs, designed to be used with slow speed or flake blade agitators, straight funnels, and spinner plates for accurate dispensing into containers or bags.
- Non-Free-Flow Augers Self-feeding augers with over-flight design for non-free-flowing powders such as bakery mixes, carbon, and talcum powder, engineered to grab and compact product evenly through the auger and dispense accurately using lip funnels for back pressure.
- Liquid Tooling Pump-based tooling for viscous liquids and pastes including creams, shampoos, oils, and gels, consisting of a shaft, U-joints, pump rotor, stator, and pump housings installed in place of the auger and funnel. Four pump sizes available depending on capacity.
- Horizontal Augers Horizontal augers for metering and feeding products into bulk hoppers, controlling bulk density of non-free-flowing products prior to entering the filling hopper for horizontal auger filler applications.
- Replacement Augers New and replacement augers, conveyor screws, feeder screws, and flighting for powder and bulk solids material handling equipment, with standard lengths up to 34 inches and custom lengths available on special order.
- Custom Augers Custom auger flighting designed in-house in plastic (Delrin, Erylite, UHMW, Acetal, Nylatron, Teflon), brass, or stainless steel, with options including straight, self-feeding, conveying, tapered, overflight, single flights, and double flights and dual agitation configurations.
- Flighting Auger flighting available in helicoid (continuous one-piece helix), sectional (formed from steel plates in 180-degree segments), ribbon, shaftless, and square stock varieties for different application and material handling needs.
- Vertical Form Fill & Seal (VFFS) Tooling Complete auger filling assemblies for vertical form-fill and seal equipment, including stick pack tooling and stick pack auger stems in Style A and Style B configurations for VFFS packaging lines.
