How to Build Your Own Automated Powder Filling Machine

Are you tired of manually filling powder into containers? Creating your own automated powder filling machine can save time and resources. With a few DIY skills and some basic materials, you can craft a cost-effective solution that streamlines your production process.

Materials Needed:

• Arduino microcontroller
• Stepper motor
• Hopper
• Solenoid valve
• Load cell
• Conveyor belt
• PLC

Step 1: Designing the Hopper

Start by designing and building a hopper that can hold the powder securely. Ensure it has a controlled release mechanism to regulate the flow of the powder.

Step 2: Adding the Stepper Motor

Integrate a stepper motor to drive the conveyor belt that moves the containers under the hopper. This motor will provide precise control over the filling process.
